OVERALL OPINION

I was looking for a guitar style ES335 budget conscious ... the choice is quite broad, and above all I chose for her Verythin handle 44mm wide at nut, a little wider so that the standard often revolves around 42/43mm.
Level violin is really good value. Almost perfect finish, a sunburst of good taste and very successful, and flamed maple gives it a really key class. The look differs from Epiphone DOT and other copies of 335, I really like. Even the pickguard which I found rather ugly in photo (from the pickguards Hofner ca is not their forte!) Goes better in reality.
The neck is slightly wider than the average to the nut, which I like. The profile of the handle is quite a modern C, not too meaty, I also appreciate. Straight handle, frets well finished ... really nothing wrong side of violin making.
The guitar is light body "very thin" obviously. Besides the ca stung a little head, the balance is not perfect the shot.
The pickups sound good after an adjustment rather high, I'll have to compare it directly with references to Gibson or Heritage for example ....
For plots against some adjustment pickups are crappy, they are screwed / unscrewed when they are not running, they seem to run into space, bizarre and not too reassuring ...
Fittings and overall is not terrible mechanics are pretty with pearl style buttons, but do not well agree. We feel that the bridge is a little cheap and will not withstand many settings over time. The knobs are also buttons IRONMONGER. The nut appears to be plastic. The new electronics are OK, but given the rest of it is questionable if ca will not crachouiller quickly.
But good violin making is remarkable for this price why not, and deserves to receive an upgrade in equipment ... one hundred dollars costs and I guess we should get a nice little scratch for a very reasonable budget still
