UTILIZATION

It is on the basic, two pickups with 3-position selector. The knobs for volume and tone controls act on the two microphones which appears more convenient than a knob for each microphone. There was no risk of being without her during a change of micro!
The volume knob is a little too recessed for violoning for my taste. If the curve of the neck, halfway between a telecaster and a lespaul, is it's a nice guitar rocker. We'll have to fight a little with it and that's what's good with this guitar. the shredders spend their way. No dive with Bigby unhappy! especially since the mechanics are a little light, the main criticism I would make him but at that price should not be more royalist than the king.

SOUNDS

I play in a soul band (www.lesferailleurs.sitew.com) and I chose this guitar because it is beautiful and the sound fits well with the 60/70.
The mini humbuckers are halfway between double and single. A little roundness, some slamming. So it's a little confusing at first because it feels like a guitar without much character, but after use I find the sound very interresting, the intermediate position allows me to approach the same rhythmic funk. The microphone is punchy and acute severe velvety with a nice attack.

Pros: look, finishes, price
The -: the mechanical
