Value For Money : Excellent
Made in China
21 frets, but difficult to access from the 12th and almost impossible it beyond the 17th position of a belt and the thickness of the sleeve junction / Corp. this subject do not try to change the position of the button tether strap the guitar would be unbalanced.
2 lipstick pickups, which are coupled in series with the switch to the middle instead of usually parallel, allowing a big sound for a guitar looking so frail.
Fully adjustable easel while vintage Dano had a wooden bridge saddle ....
One volume knob and a general tone instead of the two concentric vintage models, which required for me to adjust the height of the microphones has the screws on the rear to balance the sound between the two.
The handle is a bit thick but gives an impression of quality and accuracy, the key is rosewood.

UTILIZATION

The handle is not a highway but because of the dryness of the notes played all ring true a proper condition to play especially lead, in rhythm it sounds great if they have a good shot of a handle.
access to acute see above is bad and that's the main flaw of this guitar to me.
Other than that the ergonomics of this guitar is pretty good though not so light in a hollow body.
Plug and play and it is happiness for those who love the rock 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's may not be adequate for extreme variations of metal .....
Incredible quality for a low price

SOUNDS

It is the hair for what I play (british 60's punk / rock 70's) but I think we can do anything with even jazz as the sound is good provided of course be able to play because it does not forgive errors.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 2 months and I am still as enthusiastic.
What I like most: the sound of course and the retro look / design
What I like least: access to acute, somewhat imprecise mechanics (it turns) and paint a little cheap (watch out for pets and scratches).
A great guitar for the price, however I could do with another in the same brand.
Warning low price does not mean beginner guitar, you should know the ring.
