UTILIZATION

Honestly? I pray for his banisse Ibanez FAT 10 of their guitars.
Otherwise, it's happiness: the handle, fast, is frankly very well designed for low-end shovel! Especially since my game consists almost solely of agreements and power chords, as you say it's a pleasure to play ... Only thing I have to blame, the tone knob should be a chouilla more accessible, you have to go above the volume knob and switch to get the hack ... The path is too long, so I lost enough time to change my live sound, it's pretty broken up.
Otherwise not bad, relatively light, but a tip: banish nylon straps, it will sciera instantly. I use a leather strap personal noname at € 15, it fits perfectly!

SOUNDS

So there ...
Uhm.
To be honest, the microphones that are installed on this machine are real stews. However, I'm pretty tolerant, I often catch up on the effects, but there ... Pfiou, hang on to your knickers, microphones, and I is not one in particular, will make you cringe.
Even with multiple effects, I spend nearly an hour to find a sound almost tolerable, and it looks like an afterthought.
Honestly, at the time of writing, I will change them for Seymour Duncan.
Otherwise, the 5-position switch is not bad, and I plan to graft a tone knob with split option and change the knob for tone, too fast (my house is a kind of switch ... It goes from all for nothing).

OVERALL OPINION

I happily frolicking on stage for nearly two years, and nothing to do, I can not help him find more defects than qualities ...
And aesthetics has many faults of taste in my humble opinion: a black livery, a dark race, and mechanical ... Chrome. Schbing, the stain! Otherwise sympatoche the shark teeth inlays on the handle ... I will also change the mechanical, and I think black bomber vibrato. To be honest, I even lost the bar (that vibrato) ... Otherwise it is a backhoe type Rambo, I do not count the number of falls, blows it has taken, but what it took! But nickel, not a blue one scratches ... The neck is of tough, personal I went from .09/.42 to .11/.52 at once, rather, the GRG has not mutated arc of Robin Hood. In short, and finally, if I buy a shovel Devaya cheap, I look more for a Lag Roxanne LTD or X (if they are left handed). Or, a GRG 170 DXL OCCAZ of where the old scratch would have already changed the pickups ...
