Mahogany neck rosewood fingerboard, jumbo frets, fairly pais, most common brand MODELS ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable and it is easy ... dplace agreements go well, as the bends, you can have a very expressive vibrato: in short anything. CHAC is sharp ux royal!

The guitar has all its weight in the handle? it looks like ... but stand under the right elbow can lcher the guitar and remains in place. the guitar is "small", it is forgotten and it is not bad ... I have changed my Explorer!

This is not a modern guitar, the natural sound of the instrument rfre that of the golden age of rock ... blues-rock '70!

SOUNDS

I play mostly blues rock: the guitar so well suited!

- Lights on an amp with a clear sound:
I am not convinced of the micro serious ... too bad! a buzz right now, you have to play on the amp eq.
By the microphone against his fever is all perfectly usable, it's on rock and roll! a good bite! trs's '60s ...
the two together, it is a little more versatile, agreements, etc. arpges ... but something is missing! on the other hand for the funk ... I have not figured out how to do with!

- In the crunch, the all is well! same is incredible ... has burned fat, a bite is rock, mchant, wild ...
What really are the pat volume pots ... that does not really go down the volume! (Until 6 / 10) but the rate of crunch, and a gain ... it is in top blues!
No need for pedals for extra gain! 7 knob rhythm and solo 10.

I find the pickups plutt correct in this context crunch "vintage".

- In frank saturation type "mtal" ... the need for additional microphones, a drool too much, it's not prcis, but with a fuzz, it plays well drooling ... Cream is found a natural context for the scratching!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 15 days following a change.
I like the crunch dynamics, volume pots full of nuances! micro acute in all cases ... the ease of play, the weight, look!
I like the pickups less severe, and (yet) rglage Factory: false silent guitar octave, 1 / 4 ton and the low E! not so rcupr disassembly of the bridges and reverse their position ... same funds but there is still missing ... 1 or 2 mm ... I do with.
The guitar is easily scratched so watch the mdiator, nails, centure, wristwatch etc ...

Think oil (with a product like SPECIFICATIONS lemon oil, fast freight ...) button, which is "raw"! the feeling is much better APRS.

report quality price is excellent, however. It is a Fline! but must not play esprer Manir crdible music with extreme ... it is a MODEL of inspiration "vintage". Should therefore play in the spirit!
