That says it all

UTILIZATION

Originally, I bought it to use it for slide guitar (Led Zep style ...)
Not having persevered in the slide (but I have not said my last word!), I use it in standard tuning for now.
The handle is quite nice, more suited for rhythmic solos that shred ...
As for sound, I prefer using both combined or single bridge.
The fault that I find is that there is a loss of volume when switching from a combination with a simple two microphones. With the two combined, we get a fuller sound (great for slide and rhythm). When switching on the bridge pickup sound is sour but not uninteresting.
The sound is rather old school. In keeping with the look. I like to use it for a bit of blues and rhythmic style of the Kinks etc. ...
In weight, vraimment any problems. Very (too?) Light.

SOUNDS

As said before, it is not very versatile and is moving more toward vintage stuff (The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, White Stripes, ...)
Sounds the least popular are the only simple in the sense that it is necessary to boost the volume a bit.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about a year, bought about € 200 without trying.
I bought it for its looks really nice.
The white plate has a tendency to yellow, which is not displease me.
A select, for the same price, would stay again without worries.
It's not my main guitar, but from time to time for a particular use is pretty cool.
