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

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 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 ...
