Model made in Korea

The bridge is metal, with a wooden plate that supports the strings. Concerns, the wood wears it ... but hey, it's part of the charm.

21 frets, 2 lipstick pickups with a simple switch bridge / neck / both.

With two volume buttons, nice detail, tone independently for each microphone.

The neck and body wood tree. Know which tree ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite happening everywhere, the handling is very fast.
Ergonomic level ... well ... how to say ... already the strap system that attaches in the handle is not a horror of practice the guitar hanging out, I'm not super fan.
access to acute is not fantastic, but finding that his playground is the next big rhythm a little fat than that of the solo & co, it does not bother me.

Do you get a good sound easy? Oooooooh, yes!

SOUNDS

I will not make friends, but let's be honest:
I find this scratch is a nightmare. It is not ergonomic, it would have been almost empty one's Fisher Price, the mechanics are very poor, there is plastic everywhere, the violin seems still very debatable ...

BUT, I do not know by what miracle, once plugged into my little Fender Blues Junior (with a Big Muff in between), the sound is terrible!
Neck pickup, the light is banging just enough, even without pushing the amp a little crunch that is super sexy ... really?
By pushing the saturation a bit, there are wonderful crunch, and even beyond, for the very large rock it retains a charm.

Central position we catch a kind of a little garish color that reminds me almost my Gretsch. There I even want to try a clean sound, no time for messing around, I blow up the big muff any binge, and brothels, how it sounds!

Bridge position, the same with less bass and brightness limited to reasonable limits. I think this is where the combo Fender / Dano is the most effective ... although in central ... mmmm ... and also with the neck pickup, too, these big bass there.

Well, well, you'll understand that scratching sound was really, really great.
It will not please everyone, it is clear, but the blues / rock / heavy rock that spot, I'm really happy!

OVERALL OPINION

Conclusion: As discussed above, I do not know what is happening with the scraper. On paper it is a nightmare, and yet we can not let go once you have tasted. Is it just that, it is called the charm of a legendary instrument? Defects we learn to love? At least for my part, I am more packaged.

I've had one month, and it completes my collection.

The value for money ... if you look at the "quality" generally very cheap, you could say it means. But when you see the sound that comes out of hell, for a price ranging between 250 and 300 €, let's be serious, it's free!

Do I regret my choice? No, and I think to offer him other little sisters of the brand, certainly Dano Pro, one of these four
