I use it for a few days, but I'm already totally hooked. I fell for this guitar mainly for its looks: the jaguar shape, dark body unvarnished. It complements my collection which has fifteen rooms now (US strat, tele, Martin etc ...).
We must always begin with the setting as the handle (shares and jumpers), the factory setting is systematically reviewing, this is not related to the Chinese origin of this guitar, it is also the case on US guitars more 2000 €!

First observation, this guitar is very well finished, very neat, nothing is sticking, no imperfection. the varnish of the handle is great, frets are very well placed. The body color is really beautiful, identical to the pictures on the net (I had read that it could be much darker). The fittings are impeccable too, so aesthetically and finishes, nothing to say, the quality is there!

From the first notes, I was impressed, the MP90 has a very high level of output compared to FAT50 my Strat, this guitar sends heavy, while offering a round and well defined. The clean is shiny, less crystalline than a strat however. The crunch are perfect, perfectly Assayable to pick, you type it crunch, fondled and it swells, very nice. The large distortion does not scare him either, it really sounds nickel. By playing with different mic positions, it has a wide range of sounds, all very interesting.

Mechanical take the deal, but they seem a little light anyway, probably to be replaced in the near future.

In summary this guitar has nothing to envy to a US fender, I know this will make the purists scream, but it's a reality. Finishing, comfort, sound, everything is there. Of all my guitars, this is probably the one that offers the best price / quality ratio, you can go there with eyes closed, less than 300 €, you will make a great deal! I'm already squinting on other models in the range modern player!
