22 frets, 2 humbucker, 2 knobs to adjust the volume and 2 tone (one for mic).
Mine has a superb finish Cherry Sunburst, but the color is more accurate because it is an opportunity that should approximate the decade.
The mechanical oil bath are well enough tuning.

UTILIZATION

I love this race, I find it quite late (it must be said that I went directly from a classical guitar with it), and convenient for the bars. Access to acute is relatively easy, but we're a little embarrassed by the shape of the guitar.

Good ergonomics, the only thing we could blame it on weight.
The guitar is quite heavy, so I advise to put the price in a good strap (not nylon webbing € 8). I myself a leather strap that I paid more than € 40, even after several hours of rehearsal, I feel nothing.
The purchase of Straplok (= system of fixing the strap on the guitar pretty convenient to use and very fast, resistant to 500 kg) shortly be wise to avoid any setback. The system is quite expensive (22 €) but relativemnt discreet.

SOUNDS

I am very happy with the sound.
I play myself mostly rock / grunge / hard rock, and the sound is perfect. This course can be adapted to any type of music or so.
On the micro j'obtient acute enough grunge sound, terrible distortion for solos with the use of a good old Boss DS1 home. How big sound!
The micro grave gives me the perfect sound for a clean as in the album "Unplugged" by Nirvana.

I use it on an old Trace Elliot amp TVT9 (80W lamp with preamp).

This guitar gives a fairly serious-based, unlike the Fender Stratocaster that sound more metallic.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this guitar 4 years ago and since I do not spend more.
I paid only € 300, used nikel super, no complaints.
I tried the guitar for more than two weeks, but for that price, it was really the best.
I advise guitarists who want a guitar to progress.
