- Made in China.
- 22 frets; two humbuckers
- Fix bridge, body-through strings
- Volume and tone controls, 3-way toggle switch
- Rather flat neck
UTILIZATION
- The neck is comfortable
- Depending on your taste you'll find better and worse necks (it's perfect for me but a friend with the same guitar has lots of problems with this neck)
- On the picture it looks like it would have a "big bottom". Average weight (lighter than a Gibson Les Paul Studio–which I don't recommend–but heavier than a Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker–which I do recommend)
- It's easy to get a good sound and it's pretty good considering the price
SOUNDS
- I play mainly rock stuff (AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Green Day, Ramones, etc.) and the guitar sounds very good, but it isn't that good for heavy metal
- I play it with a Roland Cube 60 without any pedal and the sound is quite good
- Brilliant and well-defined clean sound. With a light distortion the sound is also very good (considering it's a budget guitar), but with a fat distortion the sound turns imprecise and you feel that the guitar was not made for that
OVERALL OPINION
- I've owned it for about seven months and I haven't had any problems yet
Pros:
- Quite good sound for a beginner guitar
Cons:
- Huge bottom
- I tried out other models before buying it but this one was my favorite (and also the cheapest)
- Very good value for money.
- Based on my experience, I would buy it again as a second guitar. I use it to prevent my Gibson from getting damaged when I go to a rehearsal or when traveling
Very good practice guitar (or second guitar) with a very good value for money
