UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?
is not too bad quality, the finish is not bad (fret that does not scratch, no defect veris) only problem with the maple neck is the key (or maple), which is indeed, super comfortable, but misapplied Extremely (the layer is 0.5mm at the start of the race to finish a 5mm) ... balo SCALOP for the key that was my first goal with this guitar ...)

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
as a stratovolcano, 21th frete accessible but more hardu make a bend on the 21th frete

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
light enough (compared to my Ibanez), form home well enough to copy the fender (same cut, same pan for comfort)

Do you get a good sound easy? ...
Me, I found the original microphone mediocre early ===> I redid the electronics (wiring is the head Toin Toin) ramplacent in just the neck pickup of an old ibanez and the sound other micro became clear, slamming, and brilliant (better than my ibanez emg (clean sound))

natural gain amplifier with a background (sometimes + ds-1) and that's it
