Value For Money : Excellent
This guitar is made in Korea.
It has 24 jumbo frets and two humbuckers in bridge and neck ative.
The bridge is an original foyd pink!
There are two volumes (one for each pickup) and a tone.
Finally the handle is glued and especially driver!

UTILIZATION

The handle is how to say .. A big fat stick! but not huge huh! It is a fairly round and round well fast it is really very nice and very quickly got used to it.
Access to acute is better than a les paul Epiphone or Gibson from home it is really working and very ergonomic.
This is a guitar a bit heavy but it feels as the sustain!
However I would have liked a more curved to the side of the guitar for the rest of you.
The EMG 81 spit what happens when the sound it was easy!

SOUNDS

This guitar is based metal and hard rock: You do not buy one if you like Kirk Hammet to the country blues. So it is ideal for our style of music!
I play with a Peavey Studio Pro 112 amp transistors remains but it's not bad at all: we feel the potential of EMG and the sound is very good if you make a good set.
In a scene I plugged into a JCM 2000 DSL 100 head and ... Heuchera! It sounds the palm mute assassin is the EMG deliver a sharp disto ca really pleased Harmonics sisaillé eardrums in the front rows (hehe). Finally on this type of amp that really scratching reveals what she has in the stomach and it's all good.
The clear sound of course is not his strong point but the volume knob is very progressive when a little finger nags gentlemen and ultimately a good foot and get a clear sound quite honest. The EMG 81 in serious position is not a bad choice because it sounds really differ from a position acute. So this pair of EMG 81 covers a range of sounds quite honorable for a guitar of this type.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, and I'm still fond as much when I play with.
I hesitated between several guitars before buying it (steve vai ibanez that was 1500 euros and Jackson), and what convinced me to her is his look with markers affects spiders and their skulls handle and its sound. Basically I liked everything!
I find excellent value for money given the equipment (original floyd emg active neck-..).
In any case much higher than the ESP version (1000 euros difference!) That does little more than a violin can be a bit better (this one is already impeccable).
I would do this choice with his eyes closed I adopted this literally scratching.
