UTILIZATION

When I had that in AD 850 the hands, once arrived at my dealer, I immediately attacked directly.
And, frankly, it provides!
Well of course, at that price, we can expect something clean, but hey, as a member of the awkwardness is a bit hard to beat at low cost.
A few tests later, she appears quite pleasant to use, its a pretty hot, while keeping the set of strings of slamming metal. I also like the fact that the mediums are discreet and treble only appear if they are taken out ...
This little folk opens every style, and, to my amazement, I discover pieces of rock / hardcore / punk from another angle, and overall provides a pleasant sensation to the ear.
Light enough, it can be worn with a belt, although it seems to lose some teeth when playing standing up (or it comes from me). Beware, there is only one setting, which is thought to add an attachment at the connection between the handle and the body, or a lace head (I chose the second option).
Next game is pleasant enough, the stick was under control, the agreements are a simplicitée to press ... Also note the handle a little too thick, but puisqu'ayant large paws, this gene less ... A little less, too, is the lack of marks on the first five boxes, either the key or the slice.
Since it is a folk with no cutaway, we say goodbye to the last four boxes. Already the 15 and 16th case are difficult, but the others, do not think ...
In addition, the junction sleeve / case is quite broad, including gene just after the 12th fret over.
In short, in short, a good sound, not complicated to play and also, I forgot, a spacing between the strings very valuable despite wide handle unpleasant and boxes larger than a hollow body or solid body.

SOUNDS

Honestly, I only gain this AD to serve as a replacement when my guitar Ibanez GRG 170 DXL let me go, or I leave my stuff in the rehearsal room.
But after a few hours of play, I got attached, and found quite a few genres sympatoche to play, which relax after phases of metal and punk.
Otherwise, its really round of AD 850 NS, hot and serious, it's really ... Pfiou!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three four months already, and I love everything about it! The only negative is the lack of markings in the first box.
I had not tried the other model, being left ...
Given the quality, it's well worth the trouble to pay € 170 / 180 ...
And with experience, of course I do it again this election!

Final note, I thank Cort for having reported that the table was spruce. I appreciate ...
Especially the beautiful autocolant on the tailpiece, which now gives me a wonderful job of glue that does not leave ...
Suddenly, a round dark wood the size of a piece of € 0.50 on a light wood tailpiece ...
