USE

Channel of good quality, provide a very light planif for past cases (a classic)
Intonation quite correct.
Compared to a true 335, it sounds less woody, the varnish is thicker and the back of the neck slides a lot.
The attack is less smooth, the sound is less chubby, but it gives him a very sound side totally usable.
The basic circuit is not great, but with 4 CTS 500k, capas of 0047 oil and two Seymour (Jazz and JB N B), the sound is very nice for a guitar of this price.
The microphones set costed € 100 me, why deprive!
Jazz goes well on this guitar, JB, no longer present.
If you want to play very jazz, just put the dishes nets, for my part, I mounted 10 46 let versatile.
This gives the end a very pleasant to play guitar with a sound very usable and musical.
It does not replace a good gibson, but let's be realistic, there is a zero less in price.
I lug around everywhere because it can stand the shocks and fits well with any amp, it does not always choose in repeated rooms! <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />

SOUNDS

Good planif a better quality bridge and we get a very nice guitar.
The sound is pure and open, not super woodland, musical and goes everywhere.
With a little over budget, you can try it with the best mics, but it's worth can not be the peine0
The sustain is quite surprising for a guitar of this price and the attack is very straightforward and precise.
Good Hollow body a bit better for my taste the new Ibanez.
If it were to do again, I will test two 59 seth lover or two to compensate for the very clear side of the guitar.



NOTICE GLOBAL

The SAN450 model is quite successful, the handle may be a bit "big" for digital prowess, but with a little practice.
The violin is good, even if the table seems glued directly on the ribs, like a tin))
Finishing Fretes is not exemplary, but this guitar deserves some improvements (see above)
A planif two good microphones, a good circuit to budget for a nice guitar worthy of the great.
Provide a budget of at least € 350 upgrade.
Highly recommended for non-guitar fetish musicians seeking a good horse, efficient, simple and coherent.
