Guitar-Japanese (like the brand)
-24 Frets, EMG 81 in bridge and EMG 60 in neck
-Tune-o-matic and tailpiece Gotoh Stop Bar, mechanical oil bath Sperzel
-1 Volume knob, 1 tone knob, 3-position selector type Gibson
Driver Channel maple with ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets
- Mahogany body

A very noble is for this guitar, perfection was a split with a 85 and volume / tone for each pickup independent but ...

UTILIZATION

Handle very easy to learn, the key is nice and for my part I like the sleeves standards with Jumbo frets so everything is good
Access to acute is rather easy, the neck-and help shape not too extravagant.
The guitar at an average weight, fortunately it does not address the body and is thought to play either standing as sitting.
Get a good sound is easy, just know how to use a selector position is the sonic palette here is very generous.
Only regret the lack of marks on the handle (in favor of a nice little picture), but the slice is of course the usual strong points, so it's really 9 but for the sake of detail.

SOUNDS

I mainly play metal but I have a clean sound worthy of the name and quite round, by using neck pickup EMG 60 and so we immediately deal with a distortion of quality, its clear and convincing enough melody for the flights in neck pickup.
The sound is rather sharp, well-balanced allowing the amp to highlight the frequency you prefer carefree.
Noise level like everything in this guitar course, very vintage styles or requiring its crystalline and hot will not made a great but already seen the form and the firm expected!
A 85 would have been the ideal complement of 81 in my opinion (for the split) but it's still more versatile than a couple of 81

OVERALL OPINION

This skyscraper has been paid to a friend and I could enjoy a few hours ...
I love everything about this guitar even if left to put that price I'll manage to get a round of 85 in series and individual knobs but good.
The price / quality ratio is average, the guitar is very pleasant but a few hundred dollars less and would have a real killer!
If I could I would offer very happy but searching to find it at a price still more preferably, except that, not much to complain about.
