Value For Money : Excellent
Made in the rising sun, and distributed by German companies ...
20 frets, 22 boxes ...
2 micros simple, neck and bridge with 3-position selector.
volume and tone settings for each of the microphones.
set neck.
Very handsome, well finished.

UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant and very well staged, though the frets are a bit "rustic"
access to prevent acute if the guitar is not completely resolved, a strange but adjustable floating bridge which we did.
very good ergonomics with easy handling despite the volume of the box is a classical guitar in space.
The original bridge was replaced with a Bigsby gives it a lot in and look at possibilities, but do not abuse otherwise the mechanical lose the agreement. (They keep if you do "vibratotise" no)

SOUNDS

I do not know the original sound with microphones made in one does not know where ... but they were replaced by Epiphone pickups which provide excellent sound. There was also a change of strings ... new, lower nets dishes action .... A warm, very jazzy blues as the microphone.
Played on a fender GDEC modeling, he brought out a sound unheard ... I compare not a Gretsch .., it is not the same thing ... but it surprises! it is pure, it's like to Memphis ... To prohibit use in distortion, too much resonance due to the fund probably.
A dry, no amp is very well ... and sounds much better than ibanez (3 times more expensive) tested in-store ... as what it is not necessarily the price that makes the sound ...
She deserves the otion microphones, cords, and Bigsby (it double the price but it's worth it)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month, every day ... scared and I see that I forsake my strat Japan 84 ... the attractiveness of the new strata and probably straight to a rest ...
I like her look at her, I find it beautiful, I love his sound obviously, but I do not like the side of the gold foil on the rack ... no top! The "knobs" look well made, not disrupting tchhhgrishhhpshiiii!
Excellent value for money, hard to beat ...
I bought the same tomorrow without hesitation!
