Best value:
Excellent
Audience:
Beginners
Features listed, I will not dwell everything has already been said
Just the main:
- Basswood body (efficient but not super class)
- Maple neck (weird but OK for a guitar between the LP and SG)
- Two dual microphones (entry level)
- 2 volumes
- 1 tone
UTILIZATION
Side use it rather well.
- The neck is super easy (I do the guitar for only seven months and an easy run it helps)
- The weight is substantial and it's great content as
- The form is nickel (just a little boring when you want to play with the guitar sitting on the leg)
SOUNDS
This is where it gets complicated.
The guitar itself is super healthy. Ok it is a little cheap (Linden, Bolt ...) but the violin is really good. We must not seek the real LP or SG's because this really Roxanne to a specific configuration: mic + double + neck basswood referred, it not grow on trees.
Where is the bottom Blaisse microphones. There are just too entry level.
I have a VOX AD30VT 2 amps and a Pignose legandary 700 (I also had a Micro Cube at the outset that I have stolen ).
With the VOX sound is cool (super fatty), it lacks some precision but it's still manageable to see funny (if you like to super big bad).
With the small amp is more complicated. It drool as ever and it is very difficult to get a sound out drinking. But playing on the volume and tone you get there. Also winning side should not get into it too if you wonder why the fast guitar sound the same regardless of the chord being played (and I speak not of the agreements).
So only 3 / 10, but with precise micro + (no seymour, DiMarzio pickups ... only better) it deserves at least 8 / 10
The best side microphones, is to change to a pair of GFS ~ € 70

Edit the 20-08-07:
I just change the pickups (GFS Fat PAF). I did not realize how much the original pickups were rotten. I rediscovered the guitar and most of all what is possible with a neck pickup worthy of the name.
To budget change microphones!
OVERALL OPINION
It's been 7 months that I have and I regret my choice (this is also my first so ...).
Although it has its flaws for the budget that I was hard to beat. In addition, nothing but watch it makes me want to play and it is almost what is most important.
The problem is still the microphones that do not hold water, especially with a small amp. What's wrong is that when we start on a small amp.
Since then I have tried other guitars (Start, LAG RX200, Vigier, Ibanez ...) and of course there are cool stuff, but I really partial to mine: the handle, weight, shape roxanne the budget.
In the end 6 / 10 because it's not scratching the century, but a good value for money and the ideal weapon for beginners. But the pickups are that they are still cheap and the guitar as a whole.
An alternative to the RS100 is the entry range from Ibanez SA (but for me it lacks the form Roxanne).
Edit the 20-08-07:
With the new pickups is the ultimate weapon of the beginner: the very big sound, a handle type highway, look fabulous and a violin that takes the road for ~ € 400.
