Best value:
Excellent
See previous opinions.
UTILIZATION
The guitar is pleasant to handle, the handle fits my large hands, it weighs its weight but it acceptable. One has the feeling of being on a quality guitar, finishing and touch are excellent.
SOUNDS
So that's where it goes bad, super disappointed when I plugged for the first time, especially as the sound unplugged sustain a good omen and a nice color, the original pickups bear squarely dull, the only advantage they have is that for p90 rather they are clean and can distort nearly as much as on guitars designed for big sound, which is not usually the case for this kind of guitar, That said I'd rather be looking for a kind 335, and really clean sound that was neither jazz nor twang or anything else for that matter, just dull and unattractive. I guess the idea of starting design was to produce a guitar with a vintage look but very versatile level, with the possibility of using large distos, like a strat but without the charm ...
So I followed the advice of a Afien (jp6l6) which itself replaced the pickups with Bare Knuckle, great idea, I finally sound that goes with the violin, and the Bigsby is a treat.
In fact I replaced the micro channel and the bridge pickup, the central micro stayed home, which allows me to stay in versatility thanks to the many settings as possible, in fact all combinations are possible, all three microphones for a max level or even strat sounds very hollow genres in an intermediate position, me personally I'll never use it but hey it's possible.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this guitar for 4 years, I'm not a pro, I play mostly on my models such as Country rock and reggae with friends, what I like about this guitar is for example the sound in the bridge position , with a little OD and light slapback, with Bigsby is really deadly, for once the value for money is excellent once the pickups changed, in fact I think for a first "nice" guitar for a beginner guitar is a good choice given its versatility of origin and possibility of later upgrade for less than 800 euros (after upgrade) was an instrument in the hands of pro quality and design to the vintage and current time, red is superb.
