    Microphone, volume, tone (too?) On branch we play!
    A simple guitar Punk mind but still with a tune O matic bridge which provides good intonation regardless pulling strings used, unlike the cast of Melody Maker wraparound. But mechanical, vintage style Kluson are really the black point of the guitar, at least in the tested model: imprecise, unstable, the guitar is out of tune constantly.

    SOUNDS

    One micro = one sound?
    This is somewhat true with this guitar, the sound is clear and very sour is saturated draft, on the other hand crunch is juicy, this was right after riffer like punk, garage, stoner .. . too aggressive for blues on the other hand.

    OVERALL OPINION

    A guitar for a very targeted audience, and focused. A cut above the Melody Maker. Too bad the next "stripped down" becomes cheap in mechanical and varnish.
