UTILIZATION

The game is rel comfort, even if the string height over the key is excessive from the factory. The rglage ais is therefore not to ngliger ...
CHAC is consistent with the sharp guitar of this type, so correct but trs ill-suited to amateurs of pure speed.
The balance gnral is frankly good, whether sitting or standing, no problem as long as this level of the weight of the BTE is widely extended knowledge supportable.Les rptition to have no impact on vertbres ... and the violin is frankly a superior quality of its competitors
No problem to find a sound suitable. His areas of prdilection remain the Jazz-rock, blues and rock. Style "hairy" the TDCA does him absolutely no fear either but the "metal" is not his field ...
The overdrive sound typs are sublime on the mic is really serious a nice surprise on a guitar of this price. The microphone is clearly acute back and it will be necessary to avoid to "play" alone! However, it amne just enough clarity to the neck pickup to consider the solos that look good in a mix.

SOUNDS

I have long hsit between Epiphone ES335 and the MODEL home Ibanez. I possde several other guitars and it would fill my registry pop-rock-jazz. I am the branch of your choice in a Pod connected the mixer, a Roland Cube 60, or 60 watts prvu AER for acoustic instruments, and I must say I'm thrilled!
Scne on, I plugged into a Boss compressor (lightweight), a Disto Proco Rat 2 and a chorus as Hrode AriaPro2 old and I get all sounds DSIR. Of Metheny Scofield, to Benson, ACDC, Oasis, Blur Led Zep through all sorts of variants pop-rock, nothing seems to discard it!
The microphone gives serious changes and it is unfortunate that the bridge pickup is so dcevant. It is really too low-end for use on projects srieux. Lack of power and DEFINITIONS ...
The violin is to del any supper! Assembly and varnishes impeccable, round "three spices" reliable and conducive to long hours of practice. Back table and wicker covers Saddle Flamm beautiful!). Fittings dor enhancing appearance gnral dj trs flattering ...

OVERALL OPINION

MODEL I possde this since a year or so.
APRS PERIOD adaptation of a few days, I adopted the instrument engaging and srieux. I sought in rptition and without scne apprhension. No surprise with this guitar, it gives what it promises. Keeping excellent agree, somewhat "neutral" but never mdiocre, she asked be enriched by a pair of microphones pros, Gibson type 57 ', or Seymour Duncan SH1 rvler for its immense potential.
I play guitar for twenty years and ale had the opportunity to test her cousins ​​ES335, AS100 and AS200 IBZ. Play it in the same court in terms of prestige but it does not take much (micro) for gallery of the best CATEGORY.
The ratio quality price is simply excellent! 430 in Germany, I would do without this choice results from me, but I would climb more microphones IMMEDIATE adquate violin with this guitar for an additional cost of about 180.
The game is really worth the effort!
If your budget is less consquent, buy AS83 which is similar with a level of finish in the background, 73 or Ace less flattering (no chrome hardware round Saddle Flamm 1 pice, but poss ing the same ergonomics and the same microphone.
