Made in korea. The handle is a 22 frets, it has two dual coil humbucking pickups and a vibrato Bigsby licensed.
settings: a tone, a separate volume for each pickup, plus a gnral, and a 3 position selector.
the finish is very pretty, with chrome everywhere that look good with the beautiful orange transparent. small snag on mine: a small dbord paint on the head and two microphones black drops on the body ... it's not handmade, it's on! m'enfin considering the price, nothing serious.
One thing surprising is the weight. It is very lightweight for a hollow body of this category, may be too much?

UTILIZATION

Before connecting the beautiful, small acoustic test. It's surprising, a vibrating all over, and the sound is very bright. I really like the handle. Being accustomed to play on the sleeves ibanez very end I thought down on a log ... not at all, it is very late.
one thing surprises me, even shocks me is the precision of play I feel that this guitar will not make any "Kwak!" every note perfectly clear ... and always the p **** No vibration! what happiness!

the body forms a very gnreuses, and access to acute hence is not great, but was part of its charm.
Bon ben now be connected .....

SOUNDS

First test, while the bottom knobs, micro serious. the sound is chubby, hot, but not as typical as a 6120. But there is always the vibration that never end, and are very Submitted in the sound ... I love it!
intermediate position, began a recall little grain fawn Setzer ... I chills!
try to micro acute :.... yeahhhhhh ohhhh! began to send it right!
after an hour of tampering on the guitar, and settings on the amp, gretsch sound I like it is finally the microphones are powerful as it should, the vibrations of the beautiful feel good on the amp, I'm falling in love!
I scratched the first chords of "Sleepwalk" Stray Cats fawn without releasing the Bigsby and the fever I win! it's beautiful, it's good ...

OVERALL OPINION

I am offered the last week. I play metal / prog rock past fifteen years, and I wanted an instrument that could open the doors of the blues and why not jazz ... It was a great choice!
the incredible look of this guitar also had its weight on the scale, it must be confessed.
mine is a series 125th anniversary, a plaque and a gray instead of the usual piece of plastic (see photo on my profile) is much more fun and classy.
I bought it new in Germany for 580 ... so that the report is very attractive qualitprix ... and all that I would do this choice OUIIIIIIIIII eyes closed
