I'm pretty ok with the two opinions below.
I stripped away the guitar for customizing.
I expected to redo all the cabling, change the pots ... etc. as usual
but to my surprise it's very well done at the factory, the gear is more than impressive and impeccable welds, so rare guitars in these prices ...
the finish is impeccable as well.
even the mechanical property of Grover ...

UTILIZATION

the handle is very nice in my opinion, wide but not too thick.
the guitar is light and pleasant.
it is childish to the rule, the handle is nickel, the truss and is effective immediately.
you can get a low action without curling without worry.

SOUNDS

I switched on the microphone.
origins but the microphones are not bad for the price!
it is amazing acoustics, it sounds hard but it's not very balanced, well rounded bass and treble very present and warm, pleasant surprise.
indeed, very good sustain and a little natural reverb not unpleasant.
it is actually perfect for jazz, but also very polyvalant,
according to the microphones that we chose (it's really worth it to change them).
I put Bare Knuckles splitablent above and go to the old blues, 60's rock, pop and rock why heavier.

OVERALL OPINION

I have and I had lots of guitars ...
and I can say that the quality-price ratio is impressive.
OCCAZ 300 euros for a guitar of this quality! 10!
In addition to this award was not afraid of lugging.
the benefits of a real without the pitfalls of this!
