Chinese-made and oh! surprise: well over!

Alder body / Maple
Bolt 17 th box in mahogany with rosewood fingerboard 22 frets
2 humbuckers
Tune-o-matic
Chrome hardware
An inverter and 3-position micro re Oh surprise, it works nickel.
I put a good 8.

UTILIZATION

Out of copies or other fender squier with a pissed off, and a big detour on folk guitars and more I am bassist.
then, yes the handle is nice, slipped and easy identification, for me not too wide nor too late (see telecaster).
if you buy it new, I recommend an adjustable height of the strings / bridge, and especially change the strings, or you go straight into the wall with the factory setting.

Access to the sharp, yeah, well blah! how many guitarists will play on the 21 th box?
especially since this model is designed for beginner or intermediate.
The pickup selector is very powerful, you can vary your sound in the score, and the tone knob, tuning rather thin and it's surprising when you know the price of the guitar.
weight, well it's full of wood tree! and as I said before I am bassist therefore the weight of this guitar pffffffff Finally, if you want the light, you buy a Squier or reset your acoustics with a microphone in the soundhole.

SOUNDS

So it is my first guitar, a recreation and study, upgrading so I play rock, garage band, blues (or even the pop) and microphones follow well
I'm looking for the sound, it is especially important to a good match with the amp if you play a bad amp, you get a bad sound. QED!
Personal I play on a Roland Cube, so no surprise, I get what I want.
there would certainly be better, but for that you need to change the pickups.
mediums are correct, some serious bass, treble no complaints.
defects; I want ........ what more could a guitar - from € 200, not to be a Gibson?

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for four months, I love her look, not very common, whereas for the same price range, the fashion is to copy the fender.
vintage sunburst has the advantage of not too bad leaving fingerprints on the body of the guitar (or those who understand black euent shovels).
price / quality ratio, I do not know who can do better, the price of nine ranging from 189 to 220 € for the most greedy merchants.
as 1st guitar, which is not my case, because for me it is a return after more than 20 years of absence guitar, I advise and I am very sure that if you move, it will always have its place in your heart.
Now given the number of people who put themselves on guitar and after 6 months change their minds, for many reasons, it is an investment which will be tres leger place in the market Ocassion so it allows much begin.
