Guitar Swedish brand, manufactured in China

Channel 22 frets, bridge tailpiece with Tune systen 'o' Matic, 2 micro Humberg custom58 Hagstrom, 2x Tone, 2x volume, three position selector and tone filter 3 position (center = Bypass)
I put 9 because nothing is perfect xD

UTILIZATION

Despite the relatively high weight of the guitar (after two hours you are good to a lot of small dot very nice ...) the Swede is very comfortable das all. The handle is nice, although it falls in a standing position, access to acute is correct, and we get easily a very good sound!

it should be noted also some defect in the finish (eg a mine a little bit behind the neck, the ribbon is a bit chopped in two places ... small detail, however, you really have the nose for it out .. .) Detail which disappears as soon as one branch of the beast ...

SOUNDS

In terms of sound, guitar cete totalemant bluffing. The pickups are two small wonders. The sound is powerful, bold, dirty wish. This gives a very fast to its AC / DC, Guns ... I use a Marshall 50DFX, and it fits perfectly with the distortion of the amp. Sometimes I add a pédalle Boss DS-1. In both cases, the sound is stunning, surpenant sometimes difficult to handle. It can get rough if you are not careful.
As for the Clean, the very hot, very round. Associated with the tone filter and a chorus effect, it's great
Are rich in micro medium and serious, but give very good treble.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one week. I love the sound, appearance (beautiful), the only négtif finishes would not finish ... but that's all.
I hesitated between this one and an Epiphone, I do not regret my choice at all. I think the price / quality ratio is huge, the sound is definitely more than the price I paid (460 €)
