UTILIZATION

Let's talk about quality abbord:
- The handle is gnial! saying anything, exellent finish!
- Access in acute is not optimal, not really Designed for shredeurs.
- I love the ergonomics! the weight is by no Drang, the look is great (it's subjective but I love), there is frankly nothing wrong.
- Rgler must love the sound of his guitar with 3 pickups because slecteur five positions, "spliteur" micro buttons and qualisation ... Finally, there is a fairly quickly adjusted.
- 1 for stystme locking vibrato, and the cable between the guitar.

For default:
- So many places the finish is almost divine, as many other places, it is frankly not top.Ca ^, of sr, a scratch mid-range, we can not have everything .. Obviously
- The vibrato is a bit difficult Designed (I find it "too high"), it is not Designed to be shot, or trs little, especially for you push it .. .

SOUNDS

As for the style of music, one might almost say it's a versatile guitar! Blues, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Mtal, etc ... I said most versatile, if you like the punk and black mtal pure and hard, I do not think the guitar can satisfy you Fully.

I play with a Line 6 Spider III amp 75 watts and given the number of sounds on offer through this amp, I do not have much difficulty finding a sound that suits me ...

Come up with the 10-42 (which is the original draft), attacks free stand tonnament not too bad!

On this guitar, I find his "best done" is srement the sound that comes out when I play with the humbucker slectionneur ct round (by adding a bit of tone), c ' is frankly not the sound that I normally use but I find this guitar trs course, it helps, I think, to get closer to sound a little funky Red Hot, in his clear Obviously ..

OVERALL OPINION

What I like particulirement is clearly the handle and the sounds you can have with this guitar
I like the least available of the vibrato, but it's more than dtail for me using it less and less ...
Before buying it, with a Lag j'hsitais of the same type and + / - same price but I quickly realized that it has more potential ... ^ ^

The report qualitprix gnial is simply because by default small finishes, the guitar is really exellent!

I'm really glad I chose this guitar and I do not see what I could buy more in this price range that would satisfy me as much as one-l!
