It is a half box of Chinese origin.
Personally I hesitated between several brands (Ibanez, Epiphone and Hagstrom) and it made me decide the look, the guitar is really beautiful (with a few minor drawbacks which I will).
UTILIZATION
The neck is extremely thin, even more than a stratocaster, and allows for combos very fluid, the overall grip is really excellent instrument with a light, well balanced and headaches.
I do not particularly like the material used for the button, very synthetic, the surface is too smooth for my taste and lacks life.
Some parts are sloppy on the instrument, especially the pickguard is ridiculously thin and cut in a hurry, the mechanics of the head also have unpleasant side "plastic" and seem fragile.
My model had some problems with electronics (loose connection at the jack and at all of his) that I could fix myself (not easy to access the entrails of half a box).
SOUNDS
The sound is very warm on the neck pickup, the bridge is more than criada, I do not use it.
When empty, the instrument produces a very large but very metal (not an acoustic guitar).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 years for the price it is an instrument entirely honorable, it's just a shame some details are sloppy. With some small corrections (mechanical, electronic and pickguard) could aspire to an additional level of quality.
However the guitar is really nice to play and she throws is undeniable.
The solos come out on their own.
