UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice (quite late), the jumbo frets are well suited to me. The ergonomics and access to acute are those of the original (it is also reputed for its faults!)
It's easy to find a good sound, the pickups split further expands the range of the instrument (but beware of the loss of volume, to anticipate).

SOUNDS

The pickups are very versatile, with its warm clean sound (live in an amp Marshall Valvestate 8080) and in a big potato crunch / distortion (J-Station modeling V8080 + Marshall). The sound is clear with these Alnico V.

OVERALL OPINION

I play for 1 month. I bought it on the internet without trying it, knowing that I had the opportunity to return it if it did not suit me.
I was convinced by the user-reviews, tests (Judge Fredd Audiofanzine +), and samples on youtube.
What I like: the overall quality of the instrument, particularly the mechanical and the bridge, the ease of getting started (I feel I have always played above), the quality of the original pickups ( not need to change).
One small problem: defects deburring plastic parts (contours micro, washer switch, jack plate). "Problem" solved quickly with a nail file ;)
If it all over again: without hesitation, even!
