Manufacturing korea (verified by Levinson in Switzerland .... I have a doubt but the quality is to go)

I have two models at home: a sunburst maple key (beautiful finish), a dark rosewood fingerboard (some very minor paint defects)

Mechanical vintage (visually a little cheap but are very good agreement)

Vibrato type "6 screws Start" (Stuck at home) not a Floyd Rose but buy it for that??

Strato Type settings (Vol / Tone / Tone)

3 position switch for the VSC (+ TREBLE BASS BOOST / BYPASS / MID BOOST)

Potentiometers crachouilleurs not great and the connection jack is held three weeks .... trash and REPLACEMENT

UTILIZATION

The handle (whether key maple rosewood) is super comfortable and very fast despite a vintage C profile, not really intended for shredders, but even if it is not what we demand a stratovolcano, one can Devalle the scales on the handle without any restrictions.

Access to acute is facilitated by a chamfer type "Valley Arts"

The sound ..... ha sound, everything is there: Very versatile light passing through a saturated crunch, thanks to Vsc we will treble slap "has gainsbourg" velvety mediums to limit humbucker (a shot Tubescreamer, and one would think ...)

I find all the sounds I need, but for extreme metal, it is easy to forget! what is the usefulness of a "single 3"??

SOUNDS

I play repeatedly Classic pop / rock connected to a TS9 / a DS-1 / a preamp Lag Spitfire / a G-Major

I like all the sound of this model if we remain in a directory "Start"
(The rest I have my Lag Rockline rise in EMG that can take over the Blade stops or ....)

Little find: Regulation of the medium vsc almost fully (and switch to position "medium boost" side bridge) with the switch to intermediate center / rack, put the tones 0 and forward "Money for Nothing 'c' is stunning and this is the case if no Lespaul on hand ....

OVERALL OPINION

I play this guitar for 6 months

The only problem is the poor quality of the connectors and knobs original
(Replaced by Di Marzio on one of two guitars, we see immediately the difference)

I tried Start 'before any kind of blade guide me, the value being unbeatable (even on the second hand market, Blade does not "cause" not a big world ... a twist )

I would do without this choice hesitate
