Everything is already said in the previous two reviews. I just add that ... EVERYTHING IS TRUE, even if the hands have an instrument of this quality for a ridiculous sum seems totally invraissemblable! Just an anecdote: as many of you I suppose, I leave occasionally dropped my guitar head first because the strap attached poorly (or too lazy to install strap locks ...) It happened to me with the Samick: small flakes in the paint. It happened to me with my Gibson Jr: a burst of 2 cm in the woods!

UTILIZATION

Make a test: enter your Gibson Jr by the heel and slide your hand to the top of the shaft, squeezing just enough to stop the fall. Is it done? good, you can rush up the first aid kit. Now do the same thing with Linda, and there ... is ... uh .... how to say? ... guitars have a handle. Gibson, a beam. Linda, eeeeuuuh ... a tail? ;-)


SOUNDS

I played all kinds of guitars, with all sorts of configurations of microphones, switches, levers, knobs etc ... I finally realize that 9 times out of 10 I remained stuck on the same: pickup and very deeply! this is how I began to ogle the Junior and basic routing, perfect for rock and its derivatives: 1 micro + flight + tone. What more ... More? nothing LESS, ON: turn the tone! linda did and finished the headaches, the quest for perfect tuning, the fingers tangled ... Focusing on the GAME, fingering, feeling and the micro does the rest, no need to change: powerful, very powerful, but balanced and warm throughout the spectrum, thus not screaming highs and lows that medium mmmmmh .... ... you ... aaaaAAAAaaahh ... well, see what I mean.

OVERALL OPINION

Apart from the design of the head, I like everything: the high-level violin, varnish high class fittings of good taste (except the knob bling bling), Micro resilience, sustain madness! and details that kill: the handle glued AND screwed the strings through the body through the dome jack for easy access! Americans would do well to copy their copiers!

I had or still owns a dozen guitars U.S. and Asia. My best Telecaster? a Tokai. The best LP junior? JTR LN10, definitely. Worst of all, with regard to their indecent price is the Gibson ... pay 700 € a mahogany board into 5 pieces with a beam that saw the fingers, sticky varnish, and a nice but winded p90, just for the "legend", while Linda is 80 € NOW ON NET, to be a little masochistic, right? Palmer I agree 100% on the snobbery of scratch. I had a day on the phone JTR importer who confirmed: young beginners (once drunk shame to have started on Stagg ;-) swear by episquierphone the rest they do not even want to hear, suddenly sellers adapt and offer them that. This is the snake that bites its own tail: you do not sell these guitars becaufe do not know, we can not know becaufe sells nowhere ... Enter the first corner guitar shop and ask Linda, you will see what you answer ...
Warning I&#39;m not saying that Fengib Sonder or make bad guitars! to a certain price level it is the holy of holy nirvana! But underneath, the less well known brands have quality / well above that of their own money in Asian brands. I ferret regularly on the web looking for cheap guitars to revamp or customize (small personal passion, soon seen on www.stanker.fr) I unhesitatingly sacrificed 2 or 3 Epiphone (including plywood) but I n &#39;I could not touch a ... Stagg L250, the brand "cursed" forums! This is also the fate that awaited the Samick ... Palmer bought after reading above, half-curious, half-skeptical. Unpacking was a wonder, the first shots mediator a moment of grace ... the holy grail of rock n&#39;roll delivered to your home in a click to € 80 today (the price of the case in G. .. ;-)!
So conclusion that I did not play any more, I&#39;m back in the game I took out a few shovels that were gathering dust, Linda has all returned to the closet! it has bewitched me, made me what she wants, I offered him a small tube combo that has a button, as it (Peavey Nano Valve. € 80) revamped with a Celestion tube 10 good quality (30 €), all boosted by a little big muff secondhand (35 €) or a pocket amp Palmer road (75 €), which gives a TUERIE config for ... 300 €!

With experience? imagine ... a beautiful stranger, sweet and sexy times, tender and wild, like a supermodel devastatingly charming but nobody wants ... intelligent but not too much, just enough scholar, who sing more beautifully ... and would settle LIFE home to 80 euros .... !

What would you do in my place ... Hmmmh?
