Model made in China, slightly different from the one illustrated (Johnson Baltimore). 22 frets, 2 humbuckers, bridge (rosewood) compensated tailpiece with floating, 1 volume and 2 tone pearl on a white plate (nice effect, I chose the bass in "BLACK BK"). Body and head in maple, rosewood fingerboard. Channel (very) short scale (77mm) great for guitar. Bought 120 euros on ebay (SONOMA shop to recommend), I consider it a good buy for anyone who wants to start or make arrangements for a solo model.

UTILIZATION

Channel ULTRA fun for the guitarist who I am.
Access to acute smoothly.
Very light, convenient to play standing up but sat with her as "violin".
Be careful, it tends to dive head.
Its level, the settings are simple and look good. It may lack some fishing but is very satisfying to play jazz, blues or even rock and pop stars. Very good record highs ...

SOUNDS

Used with an amp simulator behringer (the small BDI21) plugged directly into a table, it provides a correct result.

The sound is pretty clear, very suitable for what I do (folk-jazz, pop ,...) '60

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most is the look (TERRIBLE!!), Its handle and price.
What I like least: a small tendency to "curl" easily (but adjustable), finishing (small defects in the binding cream).
This is the second lowest of the price range I try and it is much more accurate.
Level quality / price ratio, given its particular look for a low price that is unbeatable.
I think I would do this choice because as low-up is perfect!
