Value For Money :
Excellent
-Basswood body
-2 Powersound pickups (humbucker)
3-position switch + 1 volume + 1 tone knob that crackles
24-fret maple neck with rosewood in touch
Vibrato-full action: something that is useless on this guitar. I blocked as soon as I got the guitar because he Disagree over nothing.
Rotten-string (quickly replaced by the Dean Markley Blue Steel 10/46)
Tone that crackles + input jack that can be unscrewed (one of my buddies had this guitar and it made him too, probably a constant in this model, it is screwed back m'enfin easily even by hand) then 8
UTILIZATION
I find the handle very nice, for me the highlight of this guitar. Access to acute impeccable.
Guitar balanced (I often stand cheek with a strap and is rotten Always in a good position). Sitting is fine too (like all superstrate I tried). Guitar not too heavy (although I'm not ^ ^ rugby, so surprise me some advice below).
Good one small criticism: must retune often (well I like it when bie perfecte ^ ^), approximately every 1 / 2 hours + as soon as it comes out of the bag, but good for the price .. .
I put 10 because I find nothing wrong!
SOUNDS
I am playing hard rock, metal tt ds (except neo) on a Roland Cube 15, but I also tested on a fender bass amp (+ BOSS distortion). Then saturated bridge it will not hurt: you can get a little bit of everything, never Exel. Rhythms in this lack of "safe" (probably because of the wood used), and lead it can quickly become shrill ... hence the problem with the tone that is set wrong. In neck pickup is a little more "fat" ('attention is not a Les Paul), but I also find it quite flat, otherwise it is balanced with the bridge.
Then the clean is the weak point of this guitar: it's ugly. Bridge is in good biensur nazillard, cold (but then the bridge is not for the clean). The problem is that neck position is hardly better: There's a lot of low (fortunately There's the tone knob !!!), and it is very dry.
for the price, it is saturated in 9 and 7 in clean, then I put 8
ps: when I buy my stuff I did not realize all that (beginner, happy to finally have a playable instrument ...) But today I feel a lot more problems with this guitar sounds .
OVERALL OPINION
I stack the last year (the day).
Strengths: the handle (and playability of this instrument in general) (see use)
Point fable: the sound clean and manufacturing (vibrato -> good that I personally do not care, I do not buy the scratch for it, the tone knob [yes I use Moa, recently, or I 've been trying to sculpt my sound better now] (see sonoritées)
The quality / pix is good, it is what it is worth.
For metalheads who think the clean sound is useless, I think that's scratching to get started. If you're like me, you love the metal in the broad sense (including Metallica ballads and solos of buesy 'Opeth), you may be able to find better, and I do not know yet. If you like not the metal or rock (at least) look away
