Subjective approach:
The guitar seems well finished, the look is sober. The standards are boisures (so good if you prefer). Electronics has been welded properly. The wiring is good. The absence of a split is not tolerable for this award.

[7] Because no wood or high quality vintage, no split.

UTILIZATION

The handle is not a reference. A little too big to play really fast (or as long as it used to be).

Action string too high of origin. Manufacturing defect on the 14th fret. The band bites on the edge. Two frets are taller and have had to be polished to diminish the action. All of these elements, for that price, are unacceptable.

Mechanical standard nut of good quality promote an easy tuning. Holding long-term agreement is less impressive than the average for other guitars us.

The guitar looks on the head and balance to play sitting is questionable.

The versatility is limited by the absence of splits or "phase switch".

Released by-instrument against a clear impression of strength. The varnish seems durable and the handle slides well.

[3] below average in this price range

SOUNDS

Very nice in this exercise. The pickups have a beautiful personality and a nice smooth defined in the meaty crunch. It rewards the user with a balanced body and beautiful mids. The saturation is very good provided you do not push the gain on the bottom. In this case, the sound becomes runny. This is disappointing because it is far from winning a prs or a warrior or a custom tokai.

[7] as very pretty guitar though a bit limited by its specificity.

OVERALL OPINION

A guitar with a very good reputation that will pass any loser in a God on guitar. Indeed, I felt it magically attracted the attention of young audiences, even if it is lower than many competitors.

My guitarist bought it and used it for a long time. I often tried. Since the purchase of his tokai, it no longer uses it rarely, so I could borrow this tool for my studies.

This is a guitar correctly, which runs at a good Korean guitar. It has a very strong personality and his influences are pleasant sound. Not really practical, it has some defects unacceptable level for its price, but its reputation is well worth the effort.

I do not recommend this purchase.

[4] a little below average, this guitar will delight fans looking for the gibson sound. The rating is severe because I replace it in its price range or she is miserably crushed by many of its competitors.
