UTILIZATION

Comfortable neck and better fret work than on a Squier Affinity, for example.
Ergonomic
Rather heavy
Very nice acoustic sound
Good pickups.

SOUNDS

The original pickups are rather good, better than a Hohner G3T.
It's quite surprising considering the price...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in November 2006.
This guitar is great if you consider its price!
Good finish (binding, transparent varnish)
Sound is ok.
Good acoustic tone.

I would only criticize the golden hardware because it can oxidize if your not careful.
Otherwise it's a very nice guitar for its price!
Comfortable and durable.

Guitar factory in China, purchased a small price Thomann (129 euros new).

Fixed bridge
2 Humbucker
22 boxes
1 volume and 1 tonalitbr />
a guitar at the end nothing more normal ... even when I put 7 because I am not a fan of fixed bridge, but I quibble qd same!

UTILIZATION

Well the guitar does not rule at all ... This is also like a buy for any guitar at Thomann ... a frieze around and it Gnant ... but once the rule pb disappear ...

Comfort level that the horror!! I am a regular at the sleeves or Ibanez type "highway" ... and the handle is just awful ... I got too thick, not comfortable at all, tiring (it was soon made qd cramps it comes to playing the shred). couraging the bend ... what are hard ordeal. Moreover it is not easy to feel comfortable in terms of position of the right hand. good but that price is not a skyscraper in concert, or studio to work .... its tecnhique has proved effective since it is dificil to play, to earn a good sound (clean, with in energy, etc ...)

Access to acute is not empty but the ergonomics are pretty good ... not too light nor too heavy the head does not look ...

As against the price range for the finish is good and the guitar is beautiful I must admit.

SOUNDS

Well ... regarding the sound for my part I find it HOnet q .... the sound of microphones is powerful and big, big rock east parpain well! a little too fatty for my taste ... too thick and it is not very POPR attacks are bad ... and as said above dipstick is dificil to have a good one with its own good energy (a good feeling what)

I for my part remote from the microphones of the strings that makes the sound is cleaner ... otherwise would change the pickups but I think she vale in the effort. This is grattte low-end and the price it's really for drisoire STUDY tecnhique its more than anything else.

Otherwise the tone is correct there is a way to have something of shame, but with the Callback Service: grattte this is not practical for the stage or recording.
In addition I do not like qd attacks are not prcises, which is the case here. You will find me a little hard but I give her level 4 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

I t severe but remember that for the price it is really well done .... I use to work my technique and as it is dificle play is done. There are some who will find bte what I say but with me it works and I qd takes my other guitar with a neck and EMG impcable I feel the difference and the progress I made normal ... this guitar requires more of the musician which finally pay off .... that's all that I put lments 8 / 10 in global opinion as it fulfills the function that assigns : working technique.
