- Made in Indonesia.
- 24 frets, two humbuckers and a single of my RQUE Mighty Might (at that price, it is often right to the classic Power Sound but there nan! It farts more), with a 5-way switch.
- Bridge Floyd Rose entry level.
- A knob volume, one tone, and something very interesting that everyone forgets: the tone knob is like push / pull splitter and allows the 2 single coils double!
- And a maple neck (rosewood fingerboard).
- Contrary to what some say, it is very heavy. I tried a lot of that price, and frankly it is by far the heaviest

UTILIZATION

- The handle is nice. There is a configuration style Ibanez (even manufacturing facilities), although it is not + in the high end, not dreaming! Once properly adjusted, no problem.
- Access to acute no problem.
- She has the face! Aaaah! I have Metallic gray version, it too hard. Regarding his weight, then, is his major flaw (I think). I do not know how but it is heavy.
- This gives a good sound easily. Those who say it is tailored for the heavy, hard limits, but for anything else, go get dressed. You do not have much use it! I play on a huge bass amp type (I have nothing else for the moment) with a distortion pedal classic / heavy, and frankly it slams. the Satus are fairly accurate, although they fart (do not expect non + to high-end again) thanks to the double type and Might Mite, and clear, at least as good as Satus. They are really accurate, slamming, just a little and adjust the lens is not far. This guitar does it all. Clear, distortion, jazz, blues and even reggae.

8 / 10 for its weight and Floyd too capricious (see below)

SOUNDS

I would add that this is my first guitar, but I played a lot of others, friends, my brother, shops ... So I could compare it to an Epiphone LP100 (2 doubles) and have no clear report, Cort X6 crushes high.
Against the standard Yamaha Pacifica 112 (2 singles and a double, the reference price / quality it seems) that it&#39;s very light, but Satus are not precise, clear, are not as good, and the p *** background noise of 3 or 4 of the 5-position switch ... the m ***, do not take it! The Cort X-6 is cheaper (I bought new in-store € 240 against € 270 for the Yamaha) and much better bill, no report.
Cort against a 254 (2 singles, double), which has almost the same sound, same bill without the Floyd bridge. Same price range, but look to shit. Very good guitar anyway.
Against an Ibanez GIO (2 doubles, 1 single I believe) more expensive without Floyd, masterful touch, but its less accurate, less slamming (Power requires sound).

Unlike UATR I prefer the crystal clear sound, clear .. really beautiful. Well, I have not received my beautiful effect pedals, which I will surely discover the beautiful sounds of this wonder fat ...
I add also others who prefer the bold: Hey, you forgot that there is the po later that tone push / pull splitter for the two single-double! That&#39;s why you may not be the sound of a good Start ...

Frankly, 10/10 in view of its price, the better it does not exist (no no, I searched everywhere)

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is the perfect all-round. For € 240 (220 online) and even € 150 Used (for + against it is common in blue .. ugh), it&#39;s really a case. The price / quality ratio is unbeatable, unfortunately very common in stores, sellers will advise you in this price range and flexibility to opt for a cheaper Cort, Yamaha, Ibanez GRG one, or even a Squier (aaah my god what stew). + In general these guitars have no mouth, no Floyd, and microphones m ***...

- I use it since yesterday.
- The characteristic I like + is ... its a beautiful, versatile, its handle nice, Floyd&#39;s now a knob which allows to split the double single
- What I like least, the Floyd too, which annoys me already ... I&#39;m going to block, but hey, it&#39;s well made though! But it is enough just to put a little hand on the bridge and go to an unwanted vibrato (if not blocked), and also its weight (I can not imagine two hours on stage ... possible, but it must be tiring)

9 / 10 for body weight, capricious Floyd (I repeat myself) and because the guitar is not perfect ... we can not put 10!
For a guitar price that is the entry level guitar with a mid-range sound, look great, a fun game except the weight ... go ahead, go for it, but beginners attention, I do not recommend taking it on the Internet, and then go for a ride home after the luthier to have it set ... is important.
