- What type of race?
Channel late in maple, rosewood fingerboard with markings "shark teeth"
8 / 10 because the vibrato is too soft (I have added a spring!) But the finishes are good for one entry.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?
Channel pleasant because of its finesse and opaque back coating that promotes speed

- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Yes, we reach the 21th fret without toil.

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Yes, the guitar is light, well balanced and the body is very ergonomic.

- Gets it easy to sound good?
-The pickups are low quality, you get good sound but no more.

9 / 10 because the sound is pretty banal, microphones to change to progress, but excellent for a beginner.

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?
-Enough to rock and hard but too small for the metal.

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Amp-Marshall (AVT50 repeating and MG15dfx to work)
Disto Disto-MXR +

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
In-position handle was a beautiful clear sound, rich with distortion
In-position handle / Central sound a little strata clear sound
-In a central position in a funky clear sound
In central-position / horse very funky sound dry spice with the chorus to make it pretty!
In the bridge position, a good distortion sound very rock
7 / 10 because it remains very limited due to the microphones ...

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
-A little over a year.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
-Most: the handle extremely pleasant
-The least: the microphones

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes, some other (Yamaha, Squier ...)

- How would you rate the quality / price?
-Good is an excellent model for beginners can move on with it quickly.

- With experience, you do again this choice?
-Without any hesitation! besides, I think the next will be as an Ibanez with a Floyd and EMG and then I'll maybe even just change the pickups in it!
8 / 10 is great for beginners and making some changes we can keep loongtemps ....
