Best value: Excellent
On features, everything is already said but I would still like to add some precision on manufacturing:
I had to change the strap locks that dévissaient, micro sinking like magic, you have to change the springs and put more rigid. The band 0 has the perennial default indentation on the ground rope, but nothing very very annoying nonetheless.
I also find the mechanics AD not very practical, but one gets do not even wait when the super quality ...
Let no one think that I spit on this guitar, quite the opposite, but frankly, by 3-4% over the price, it could have been much better finished, weak, these penny wise and pound foolish. They are beautiful, ebony tuning is a treat, sound ... I mention below.
I found the vibrato too soft, I added a spring and locked the beast in the back, I too used to play with the hand on the back of the easel. The tune has gained with these manipulations.

UTILIZATION

Very enjoyable to play, finesse, excellent balance. Access to acute without a problem, and 24 frets and more. We get the sound you want ...
The neck ... once in the hands, we no longer want to leave ...

SOUNDS

Then the sound, with small switches, because if you love does well in a small click is played on a different guitar! riquiqui sound while the big crazy thing, the WB goes well in all styles.
What I like most is his versatility while retaining their own personality. Properly adjusted, it sounds really Brian May is funny!
I love the clean, well clear. In distortion, very good performance, although precise.
What I hate ... these small manufacturing defect, it is also easy to get that stupid. Mr. May should be more vigilant.
I play it with a multieffect Line6 M13 and a Fender Jazz King, a treat as the sound from the practical side.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought in England for 600 € (the book was low at that time), I've had it for several months. I use a Danelectro 59 and an Italia Maranello with P90 is the perfect complement to the more refined sound. The value for money is excellent, but I would have paid 50 € more to finish a little less I largely unpolished.
I advise, and not just Queen fans (I'm not).
