    UTILIZATION

    The handle is trs enjoyable, good in acute ACCS.
    This guitar is not heavy trs, the handle a few bites of the nose but nothing serious.
    The sound is warm trs (jazz)

    SOUNDS

    I play alternative rock with a Hughes and Kettner Edition Blue 30watts.
    This guitar myself everywhere, I can play jazz as rock trs heavy (large distortion).

    In the semi-hollow guitar CATEGORY, yes I would do this choice because the price the sound is truly exceptional.

    Made of Indonsie, this guitar team of two non-humbuckers and split.
    I just replaced a shadow pa AZ49 and a Seymour Duncan SH4 (it would be better for TB4 a map of strings, but it works well when trs-even).
    It has 22 frets.
    The bridge is fixed.
    For each micro: 1 volume + 1 Tone.
    The handle is al.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is comfortable and gives a trs trs Access in AIGS good.
    Like any guitar 1 / 4 cash, it is not too heavy, but forcment wider than a solid body. Prvoyez therefore cover acoustic guitar for transport.
    To get good sound, you must review all rglages factory. Indeed, the bridges and heights of the bridge pickups are clearly not Verify points. This small opra…

    To get good sound, you must review all rglages factory. Indeed, the bridges and heights of the bridge pickups are clearly not Verify points. This small opration only take 20 minutes, is not a big dception.

    SOUNDS

    For blues and jazz, the advantage of 1 / 4 trs cash is really audible. It is rounder, it's warmer.
    I use a Hughes & Kettner cabinet matrix100head + Behringer BG412H a MG100DFX Marshall, and Marshall 5212.
    The clean sounds lacked roundness and sharpness on the neck pickup, but with the shadow AZ49, has nothing more to see.
    The combination with the SH4 gives a good range of sounds.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have now for four months.
    I love the Aesthetics trs trs traditional and modern time.
    For pickups, the change is ncessaire.
    Before this, I tried an Ibanez suprieure of price range. But the Yamaha pickups changs with my revienue CHRE least equivalent to an instrument or suprieur.
    The report of the instrument remains qualitprix trs good. If I had to redo this choice may be that j'conomiserais a bit and I would change all-in-suite microphones.

    As far as I am concerned ... The best 335-like guitar

    UTILIZATION

    A little heavy, if you stay too tired she could stand a little over your shoulders

    SOUNDS

    OVERALL OPINION

    I found the SA500 in a store after a long search and ... The result of this laborious research was well worth the wait! A brief history: I am a fanatic of models inspired by the 335 and before acquiring the SA500 I went through a Epiphone Dot (Chinese) and an Epiphone Sheraton (Korean).
    The "dot" had a fairly acute micro screaming (I hate it ...), and a switch knobs not secure. After changing the pickups (150 Euros, not mine ..) the "dot" sounded fine but ... A drop of anything during a rehearsal ruthlessly cracked…

    The "dot" had a fairly acute micro screaming (I hate it ...), and a switch knobs not secure. After changing the pickups (150 Euros, not mine ..) the "dot" sounded fine but ... A drop of anything during a rehearsal ruthlessly cracked his head exposing a wood questionable quality ... Upset by the accident I went to a Sheraton but beautifully finished with a pickguard collect a slice of salami ... I found the mics to correct the Sheraton without falling in love with their sound. After several months of use I had to admit that his race did not suit me ... Who knows why, after a few songs my left hand was very tired and arpeggios of "Every Breath You Take" Police and had become a real torture ... The Sheraton been sold and Ibaneze AK-95 has taken its place.

    Problem, problem ... I have a very focused Rock-Blues/New-wave directory and format "335" is, in my opinion, extraordinary for these two kinds ... I then wanted to buy an Epiphone Casino or why not take a look at Yamaha, who had almost never betrayed my expectations ... Conclusion: there is no photo of SA-500 is for my ears, eyes and my sense of touch the best of the lot "to 335". Versatile and beautifully finished his microphone is nearing acute send a "slamming Stratocaster with reminiscences Knopfleriennes ... A word ...
