«  Good choice »

Published on 04/19/12 at 01:34
Made in Poland by Mayones, branded and sold by Fame Music Store (Germany). The guitar is handmade, and "does not pass through any machine during the time of manufacture"

Tuno o matic bridge with micro piezo

Handle end (thick), slightly more than 60 home gibson, but not too narrow (a bit wider than a tract). most acute in mid is not too near the edge as the fender (which I dérangeati to take on certain positions), 24 frets.

Full body and set neck. it's heavy, it smells good wood and sustain the moment it is taken in hand.

Pickups seymour duncan sh2 and sh4 (but double and split-) + micro piezo which I do not know the brand.

A push-pull volume knob (used to activate the piezo), a splitter switch for the microphones, a microphone and a selector knob to mix between piezo and SD. In the body (under the cover) you can adjust the piezo (volume / tone).

-1 Here because I lack a tone knob for SD.

Very important point that surprised me, the guitar arrived perfectly set (handle, tone, action). was that price this is the first time I see it (at gibson and fender at the same price, I had the opportunity to adjust before playing ...).

The table is beautiful (red transparent flamed for my case), the varnish is thick) can be seen in the curves of the body the hand of man has been through it.

Excellent presentation and setup at that price. I am amazed.

UTILIZATION

This is the first time I played on a round of this configuration and I must admit I was puzzled when people spoke of highway on their sleeves (a term I had seen the concenant Forum IV). and still amazed. The strings just below the fingers, it's done, you feel comfortable, we think less about technology and more to the music ... Highway? Yes.

Ergonomics: équlibrée guitar, heavy anyway (I have not yet done so to set up 3 hours to do with it ...). the shape follows the body, we find the position of right hand of a LP.
The handle is accessible and easy to frete frete 1 to 24, over a true success.

The SD of the duplicate is very good at the base of the handle on the sh2, sometimes missing a bit of roundness, but the problem is more the tone knob is missing. In split, there is a more slamming but it is not on the fender. I would say we are over the P90, but it's interesting nonetheless.

The Micro Piezo, I reserve my judgment. clearly there will be no sound of a dryer, but found the acoustic anyway. For now I e used in mix with SD thanks to the knob on the right. I think I will open to adjust behind most acute and where it will be perfect.

SOUNDS

I / we play the rock of gold 70-90, kravitz, guns, etc. u2. So I need versatility, I'm not disappointed.

I play on the fender but the models vary according to the studio, to avoid the problem of change amp, I have a Boss ME70. The guitar is at home anywhere.

On the solos, which sustain. I was hesitant to upgrade to a lp with these pickups, I'll save my money. The sound never stops and access to acute and problem solved.

OVERALL OPINION

I play for twenty years as an amateur one and in groups. I've had guitars "common" (two epiphone les paul upgradées, an ibanez ex series, a half body Ibanez Artcore, two strats, a gibson bfg, an ovation dry).

I hesitated on this guitar because I could not try it before. I have taken the plunge by trusting the proposed setup and notice that said that the guitar well finished. The point I was afraid the handle. And also the fact that it might be very difficult to resell if it does not suit me (mark "exotic")

I do not regret my choice, and I remain as always amazed by the quality at this price.
