Tone & Volume settings for each pickup, 3-position selector which can extend well enough the scope of the instrument.

It's a guitar straight out of the factory Koreen Saein (who also produced since the early 90s some Epiphone, Peavey of very good quality).
Mark Shine is fairly recent (2001, Saein Musical Instrument Co. Ltd.).

UTILIZATION

The guitar is very light and very comfortable to wear.

The handle is comfortable and glides well .. I only regret that it has only 20 frets.

The palette of sound is very jazzy on the neck pickup, and we can push the good old classic rock neck pickup.

Small problem: the set neck, only 20 frets for a guitar-oriented Jazz, which is ultimately much more than conventional use.

SOUNDS

Unnecessary to use the neck pickup in distortion, it saturates to death on the other hand on the bridge pickup, it sends the crunch like a tigress. (Flat right on the same level of output bridge pickup a little weak for my taste)

Me playing classic titles Zeppelin, Cream, Stones, Beatles, Berry, and many others, I always find what I need her level.

Hard going really well, after changing the strings, I now find it easier to enter the last frets for solos.

I use a Marshall MG30DFX (Yes I know it's not the top, but I have a small budget, and got it for a song some time ago).

Level content of the agreement, Grover does not raise concern.

I will not speak of sounds typical metal, because this guitar is not designed for such use.

OVERALL OPINION

I purchased the item for sale (There is also a site that still sells for around £ 300) in perfect condition, for my greatest happiness.
Full search of a guitar half body satisfactory for very modest price range. (I am a student and I always look for the cheapest for the best fan value for money).

Very intrigued by the appearance of the guitar at first sight picture, and after some conclusive research on the quality of manufacture, I decided to buy it.

There I found a little gem of beauty and quality.

I play about 3 years now.

I must say that this guitar for an affordable price range (between 200 € and 300 €), is really, really blow.

If you can find one of OCCAZ, mark Shine worth a visit.
The key is to find the guitar, and that's A LOT more difficult.
