-Made in Korea I think.
-24 Boxes, two single coil humbucker and an e central position.
Floating-bridge but not blocking.
-1 Volume, 1 tone and a 5-way switch.
Ibanez neck-end and flat so ideal for hardos and fan speed.

UTILIZATION

Nice round I play metal and it suits me perfectly for my solos.
Access to acute is bone simple thanks to the double notch and the weight is correct.
I find a sound that suits me despite the knob that are far from precise, if we want to change it damn subtle: either it is fully or not at all.

SOUNDS

The sound is adequate especially for a beginner who does not worry too much for that generally. I must say that the lack of precision micro handle.
The single central microphone is a great help to the sounds clear otherwise, the humbucker sounds are slightly saturate.

I play primarily on Line 6 Spider Valve 112 and on my old spider III 15W ACEC which I use distortion rather balaise.Je'm kind rather issue a wah-wah effect by modulation and clean sounds.

I think the sound is average but it is suitable for a beginner.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over a year.
I especially like metallic design and ease of play over it gives me great sentimental value.
Its main drawback is a lack of precision in the bass and knobs that goes from 0 to 10 at once so unmanageable (hint: me anyway I play often at the bottom!)
The value price is right place for a beginner who does not sound Charches exeptionnel.
I do not have that choice would do because you have to be dumb to buy twice the same guitar! Rather, I think to paint it and put him to death microphones.
