Manufactures in Japan, imports from the U.S. to France, try Central Guitars Pigalle.
Some people presss caractristiques for: table in semi hollow body rolled Saddle (which did not weigh prevents weight Les Paul), handle a pice of mahogany, key in ebony, <span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 microphones DynaSonicTM Single-Coil Pickups, a toggle switch 3 positions, a micro volume, volume GENERAL AND potentiomtre a general De Tone.

Urethane varnish finish which gives an incomparable sensation of plastic, gold plated hardware (for the price, they could have put real gold. 22 frets, fixed bridge.

Channel neither too large nor too late, radius 12 "(305 mm) which gives a sensation of touch very flat, not very vintage in mind.

Fine linen, the class to the extent we love the glitter and a lack of sobriety assum.

UTILIZATION

I immediately found the handle very steep and the radius is too flat. Ct balance, it is heavy but the handle does not sting the nose too.

When empty, it sounds a little dcharne. Branch gave something a little steep.

SOUNDS

Describes as the Holy Grail of guitars, I expected to have the thrill. I think this guitar is well named: White Penguin, it is freezing. It's a beaut polar. It does not sound really jazz, not really rockab, not really rock. Vaguely surf but I found him less than a strat personality (the micro severe WP would sound good but hardly Fendrien giving a feeling of curling on the frets while the strings taient high enough), the micro Acute dcharn is in its clear, like a little Danelectro, excuse the violent comparison.

In the crunch, ss sustain a minimum but the stiffness of the violin-which I attribute more to the varnish very hard wood as a real cause discomfort.

Some amateur nude free jazz or property may be barr will appreciate this guitar but I can not as a principal instrument Whereas both the sounds it produces are impersonal. To have been a dj G6120SSL hands or even small Gretsch Electromatic (one in fifty sounds correctly), I got more thrill with these guitars l.

OVERALL OPINION

A guitar snob, CHRE very, very pat the eye but whose music is not made up to its cosmtique shrill. You Save Euro 3500! I may be wrong on a tomb MODEL but insofar as they are very difficult to find I find it quite unacceptable that such instrument is valid from the factory.
