«  Super price / quality ratio »

Value For Money : Excellent
Mine is black (Ebony) with the tortoise shell pick guard. Made in China.
Purchased in France in July 2010 for basic 450Eur TTC after long consultation and comparisons on all the websites French and Anglo-Saxon.
Very nice finish, instrument making "serious". The Crazy Chinese! At what cost HT should it leave the factory with all the bindings and inlays of outstanding quality?

UTILIZATION

I find the handle comfortable rosewood fingerboard and Grover my satisfactory. The fret edges are smooth and insensitive to the fingers. Access to the last fret is correct but it is not my concern. The first months I fiddled endlessly the height of the bridge for the action as low as possible and then + it seems that everything has stabilized over time and with the habit of the game
The nut must be replaced because I find the E string too sharp edge very comfortably to ensure the hammer-on.
I started on electric guitar to retire after 15 year break and I play (or try) everything goes through my ears and the fingers (no hard metal).
The beast is a little cumbersome at first but it was a comfort and a better view of the key on my old acoustic dreadnough.

SOUNDS

Sounds obtained correspond to my expectations, beautiful, deep and powerful especially with two Gibson 57 Classic fai I get to the store to 220Eur and with Ernie Ball regular slinky 10/46, all plugged into a VOX AD30VT.
For the blues, it's excellent. For the rock "classic" super. The soft jazz does well by pushing a little knobs on the bass. I even country folk picking and I take (almost) to Chet Atkins.

OVERALL OPINION

Since I spend 12 months on average 2 hours per day. Not familiar electric guitar I bought for the look of a favorite and the recommendations of Internet users.
Now I'll crack a fine-tuning to a good luthier that I redo the bone nut and I will treat it as a Gibson ES335 to $ 3,500.
For another sound I have a beautiful strat aquérir Mex. Well, I think my beautiful Chinese Sheraton II guitar will remain my No. 1 for her, she can do anything.
In short, if I lose, I bought the same.
