UTILIZATION

The neck is just perfect, and ergonomics (weight, balance, access to acute ,...)
Canadian know-how everything ....

SOUNDS

P 90, and the body without central beam are truly the specificity of this guitar. The fund gives us a lot of air between the notes. P 90 and allows us to shape our sound. It is a very reactive guitar (unlike an ES 175 by ex who always gives us the "big sound historical") and which therefore allows a search of a more original sound. The choice of strings (net flat or not) greatly affects the sound. with round threads, you can venture into more acoustic sounds (like Tuck Andress or Sylvain Luc). But with the flat nets was a huge sound, especially in the bass (Barney Kessel, Benson, Bireli or not far). The disadvantage is that the absence of the beam makes extremely sensitive shackling, especially with the flat nets.
Small detail, when we lower the volume of the guitar and that much more attacks, we can get closer to the spirit of "gypsy electrified" ... and the more attachment ....

OVERALL OPINION

Value for money unbeatable
Guitar very "classy".
Attention has try before you buy because the original setting differs from one model to another, and in some cases, the handle can be tiring ....
Set of 12/52 or it must not sound ... (I tried)
