- Guitars made in Asia, quite beautiful (mahogany).

- 22 frets, two humbuckers Cort "Powersound" spittables.

- Tune-o-matic with strings through body.

- 2 volumes, 1 tone, 3-position selector.

- Handle end maple, very nice.

All this has already been said, but since I'm asked ... and then it kills the time to write.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is very nice as fine and fast, it's also one of the highlights of this skyscraper. The frets do not exceed too much, the Nut plastic replaced by a bone (if it sounds like an ironing board, like any other scratch using these estuaries), however, is less well (I mean at that price there, I'm really a shit disturber!).

- Access to treble is good enough, it's not an Ibanez or BC Rich, but no need to blow up a hand to play a solo in the treble.

- The shape of the guitar, though not very original, is quite nice (I love Les Paul), but the arm rest "ergonomic" is totally unnecessary and rather ugly. It is rather heavy, but much less than a Gibson (3.3 pounds or less).

- In two to three turns of knobs / pickups position changes we get about what you want, all is quite versatile.

SOUNDS

- As I play a little bit of everything, this guitar is very convenient because it fits very well to many different styles. For large heavy it is better to go his way and buy a BC Rich or an Ibanez, but for the Hard / Heavy it goes very well. As for the Blues, I always have a little trouble to make it purr, but I play on a Marshall MG15dfx (I plan to change against a Marshall DSL 401, which costs about six times more expensive, but what a difference!), no wonder you say ... otherwise all that is Rock, Hard Rock, until the Trash is good, but sound a little drool when you push the disto ... too bad.

- I love to play with very little distortion and a lot of medium, to play tricks bluesy / rock is super! Otherwise nag stuff, but it is better to stay on good fats that trying rhythmic solos ultra-precise, because it drools, it scatters ...

OVERALL OPINION

- I've been a little over 10 months, and I plan a few days of the change against a semi-hollow Ibanez or Washburn ...

- Strengths: aesthetics, comfort, quality / price ratio, versatility.
Weaknesses: sound, mechanical rotten acastillage the (junk).

- I tried many guitars before choosing this one, and it is one that kicked me the most, even compared to more expensive models! It is totally my type of game, comfort is really great and a real instrument, not a gimmick as often found in these price ranges! In addition she is really beautiful.

- Frankly at that price, and split the humbuckers and mahogany body, it's unbeatable! Compare with models of the same price in other brands, it is definitely worth it!

- First the guitar is nickel, it is versatile and can work, aprendre of the instrument and have fun, to 200 euros could ask for more!
