Affordable and not bad finish inspired by the version malcom young (Korean manufacturing).
Full body pierced notch double mahogany table with curved laminated maple binding
Set Mahogany neck with 22 frets.
the pickups are 2 mini humbuckers gretsch (tv jones: meaning one side with his classic gretsch .....) a 3-position selector, 1 volume and 1 tone.
Bigsby not as sensitive as the Electromatic 5120 (orange) but it has a good tremolo.
only "catch" the bone nut which can be a source of concern for the tuning and maintenance of notes (to be lubricated).

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice for the game, not thinner, but it's still super playable.
the guitar is quite heavy, but I like personal.
body shape makes it easy access to acute.
the Bigsby can quickly take the lead for access to volumes and tones, but you can rotate 180 ° c so cool.
at the beginning I had a lot of problems with the accuracy of ratings, which changed during a game nothing to do with the Bigsby (albeit often using it it fair) is related to the nut in bone gene string tension (lubricate).

SOUNDS

There's a vintage rock edge not bad.
it does not go too sharp, it keeps a lot of bass.
Personal I use it really for the rhythm. nothing to do with a Start '.
the sound does not stay too "clean" in an amount of hair your gain, you get a fast rock well.
I used it initially on an amplifier transistor (yuck) but when I plugged a lamp ... bah no photo. careful not too get your "middle" because the sound quickly becomes dull. my bass is a little higher than the middle, and treble spend a little above. the gain to 5 / 10.
otherwise the Bigsby makes a lot, but is not sensitive enough for my taste. it is still necessary to use it.

OVERALL OPINION

I have it now for about a year.
quite a hassle to start with, especially related to the problem must note.
the pickups are fine, but others would be better (There's more possibility: hight sensitive filter'tron, hilo'tron, Dynasonic, they worked with Seymour Duncan pickups for this matter).
if not for the moment very happy with the choice.
if I take a gretsch it will probably be a 5120
