Grattouze made in China with Floyd (well, a licensed model ...), selector 3 positions, 2 mics (cheap) etc.. Stars (or opinions of others). Delivered set (a few commas closely, I swear), in a perfect condition (nothing to do with the coup that had other users who posted an opinion) ... the only manufacturing defects as a mini hole of just 1 mm in the handle (it will go faster after a few weeks of play .. the hole is clogged with dirt, lol) and the plate of the locking nuts that was super glued dégueulassement how big charlot drunk ... but for the rest: nickel! No dust, no shots, no irregularities, nor anything wrong.

UTILIZATION

No longer played on a 7-string for about three centuries, I was afraid to be highly confused. Yet ... upon receipt, I took out the swarthy its boîboîte and I immediately started on that nasty itches as if I had owned for a millennium (how are you exaggerating? ;-)). No problem of access to acute, except with a ham sandwich, mayo on hand.
Form: a copy of an Ibanez 7-string.
Weight: ordinary to me
Sound: ok with the big disto of my POD PRO, but a little dirty when we pass in his clear, mainly because of the microphones that are quite cheap. It also frizz here and there, but with a new set of strings, the problem is solved 99%. Then we can always adjust the action or leave the file, but nothing inarrangeable ...

SOUNDS

I put an 8, because even with the microphones provided the original con, it already sounds better than any cheap guitar with which I happened to play in the past (such Stagg entry). This means that by changing the pickups, we can certainly make a very good sound, even a great sound of the scratching.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few days, so we have to see how it will age, but in my opinion, that's fine.
I like the gameplay and more generally, its ergonomics and its classic design.
I own several guitars and I've tried dozens in recent years and ... it is far from being part of the bad!
Quality / price ratio at unbeatable unbeatable.
I would do without hesitation that choice, unless I win the lottery, then I would look more towards the Mayones (this is just one example, because I think they look pretty terrible).

EDIT: after listening to speakers on the guitar, I take a point, because that's where the microphones prove their side could ... The headphone, it does not get along ...
I'll change as soon as possible!
