United States.
22 frets mdium. good intonation.
3 microphones (2 original)
A double mini gibson type Explorer
A simple
A double inclined.
Fixed bridge with strings through body. Rglages height and length of the strings.
Al rather fine round between Les Paul and SG.

UTILIZATION

Handle thin enough and fast enough. Holds well in hand. Good comfort. Large enough.
Radius means.
Access in acute plutt good (for 22 cases). Talon almost nonexistent.
The alignment of the strings on my instrument through which Entran occasionally outputs in the high E string when playing fast or trs made bends. Trs nothing serious though. The strings are mounted trs prs of the handle which is why this inconvnient which can be seen in action with a little higher and larger strings.
The ergonomics of the instrument is good with a dfonce stomach but not the forearm. The instrument is against trslger despite a pice mahogany body. It PSE almost half a Les Paul and a little more than a SG.
Slecteur five position and split button Tone.

SOUNDS

The electron is the main quality of this instrument.
Thanks to the magic switch and you get 10 real Plit combinations quite radically Different. The major micro (mini hambucker) is really fantastic, a dribble and it's full of warmth, while Gibson is in the micro. Really excellent.
The TRS is simple and powerful associated with a given micro serious sounds good for the country trs. Associated with acute micro can easily go to funk fawn stratocaster. The microphone is an acute one monument saturax, keeping a sharp and incredible heat (I have another team from scratch DIMARZIO DUNCAN and high-end and are infrieurs in heat). As it is also clear sounds at all good. You can have a guitar with this NIGHTHAWK! All styles are available to him. Incredible, but true.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought here four years in 1998.
Even when it has a default: the simple micro (optional on the standard version) tends to leave his dfonce and screws rotate endlessly. This inconvnient empch me one day to finish a concert because the microphone back and runs into the ropes! I refix later but I'm not sr it fits properly.
Otherwise it is an instrument full of niaque, gnial for blues, country, jazz, Funk, Rock the big (not as hard as 22 boxes ...), and although lightweight, Esth gniale policy (mine is exactly like the photo vintage red sunburst), tui hard GIBSON trs good (indoor pink silk !!!). I had a Les Paul before I sold it as too heavy and too exclusive, it sounds close to a strat trs on some rglages.
In addition it is of OCCAZ around 5000 FF trs what remains reasonable given the quality.
With the exprience I will take the same finish can be CUSTOM with a FLOYD
