Manufacturing asia.
22 frets, two humbuckers (splitable) one tone, two vol., 3-position selector.
fixed bridge (tune-o-matic) with through-string.
maple neck, rosewood key, mahogany body.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, very fine, with nice jumbo frets.
Access to acute could have been improved a bit, but still very correct.
Ergonomics is rather well thought out, the guitar is very balanced, fairly light (for an imitation Les Paul), is placed the muzzle to his arm which I find very ugly and badly placed to boot.

SOUNDS

The sound suitable for a wide range of styles and split with Humb ... of course it is not di Marzio, but for the price, it chipotte not. The warmer sound or fats are preferred, and it's still difficult to obtain highly crystalline sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had little time (less than a month), but I'm really in love. I tried a lot of models in the same price range (esp / ltd, ibanez, cort ...) and I think that compared, I made the right choice. Just for having two splittable Humb at this price is unheard of. The violin is very acceptable (may be considered later to change the pickups for more potato). In short, a very good guitar for beginners (the price) or a good second guitar (for quite interresting characteristics of the instrument).
