Guitar made in Japan (I bought mine in 1982, I think), 24 frets frets rather low and wide.
Originally there are two micro Di Marzio. I kept one, and replaced the neck pickup for a Di Marzio PAF.
There is an active electronic booster that allows the guitar to split the two microphones series / parallel, and put microphones in reverse phase to the center position. 2 9V batteries. I forget probably because ...
=> I "fired" all of that pretty quickly because it was too complicated for me, especially the batteries had a tendency to "let go" during a concert, or just before. Since we must use the screwdriver to replace ... I only have two microphones, one splitable, Volume, tone and choice of microphone.
It would start over again, I would do differently and try to find a direct output (bypass the electronics) to have sound all the same if something goes wrong.
Metal nut. Cordier very well studied.
I noticed that this guitar was used at the time (among others) by Andy Summers at public concerts of Police.

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice. I postponed the belt clip the tip of the horn before, to about level 17 th box (on the back). And with the strap, the guitar is found a little remote forward. This allows me to place the wrist on the tailpiece and play between the 7th and the 15th (approximately). This is my area of ​​choice.
One reaches the highest levels correctly, but for the 24 th I play mainly on the Si Mi or
The game at the top of the handle, side saddle, is more difficult, but doable: Because of my manip. the arm is extended, and cramps are favored. Involves sitting, it works better on top of the handle.
It is a very heavy guitar.

SOUNDS

I play with a Digitech RP-7 on electro-acoustic amp Roland Cube 40 Watt, which is enough for now. I also played on Hinsley 50 Watt and I was very happy.
I like the sound, even if the saturation obtained by micro acute home lacks a bit of volume from the neck pickup.

The different sounds obtained with the active electronics recall a little Gibson L6S.

Now, as I have "tinkered" is fixed as his, but that's enough for what I do now.

OVERALL OPINION

Pretty, elegant, except weight and appetite in a stack, the original model still seems very current.
