She arrived with a problem with the cabling.
They have been improperly installed so they vibrate in the interior of the guitar and are visible.
Nothing that can not be arranged but it still cost money and it sucks.

Apart from the problem the rest is frankly more than ok for the price.
has this price I was expecting a guitar that makes a lot more "cheap"

UTILIZATION

The neck is quite pleasant even if the basic settings are frankly disgusting.
The ergonomics are quite good, the guitar is pretty well balanced even though it is a bit heavy.
The access to the treble is very easy.

SOUNDS

The pickups have a basic sound rather cold and metallic, having said that I could not really test it on very good amp (only a 15 watt amp harley benton ... the clean sound is ok, but that one tries to push a little more overdrive AC quickly becomes rough and I had better results with an amp marshall ms 4).

Basically do not expect to play metal on it, it is oriented blues / jazz. Can be obtained relatively easily pop / rock friendly.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 3 / 4 months and this is my first electric guitar (I also own an Ibanez acoustic).

As was said before you have to buy a head of forecast heavy work on it. in that sense I do not advise as a first guitar but rather as a second purchase.
The basic settings are abominable and microphones rather bad.

His big positive point is its price and its look.

At the time of purchase I hesitated a lot between it, and a Hagstrom Ibanez. With the experience I rather regret my purchase.
Even if her look is very nice I now realize that between the money I spent on arranging and its base price I could be buying something better.
