    I believe that everything said above t
    it has a really good "look".

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is really enjoyable: when I play on another guitar, I Drout ... may be because of habit, but I think it's the quality of the handle ...
    Access in acute is carefree, I have not felt dsquilibre the guitar ... I'm comfortable with it as well standing than sitting.
    I had little problem with volume and tone knobs: aa frrrrrrrrrrrrr often when they are running, but with a spray to maintain the circuit boards, is this little problem RULES .
    slecteur the microphones is not of great quality it was necessary to change it.

    SOUNDS

    I play with a 80 and it really attax gnial to start.
    position is effective intermdiaire microphones for clear sound: soft and attacking both.
    the sound can be rough sometimes in big chords.
    the pickups are a bit of PCHE, but it is an entry-level ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have about 7 years and held the clash of concerts, rptitions ... I never ENTSO my purchase. for me it's the guitar IDAL to start ... its price is very affordable! trs a good value in qualitprix dfnitive.
    the guitar is beautiful trs: it makes you want to play (dfoncer to live) and dpart is not nothing.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle provides comfort rare in touch the frets are smooth trs, the optimum width, the transition to acute perfect. Only lightweight BMOL: the high E string is sometimes a tendency to cling to freight at bends a little too adventurous in the acute ... This problem happened to me many times on the so-MODEL better report it ... The weight is reasonable (Gibson sg fans, you will understand me), even if it could destabilize the dpart - this is my electric guitar Premire Acquisition level, and poor balance of the body the handle makes it a bit uncomfortable standing in the Premire week - note that if the strap is not properly fixed, you may have bad surpise of the ergonomics of the guitar ... Personally I think she is made to play sitting, although I use it still standing.
    Paralllement, the sound is enjoyable, clean, can be more rough than the strato imitations, for example, but instead offers a gentle when using the clean sound I find rev apprciable ( especially when the switch is placed in the bridge pickup). Indeed - and this is what I find INTERESTED guitar for this price range - the gax70 has a sound tural identity, both for crunch and distortion sounds as the basis for clean sounds . And with a multi-effects pedals, even low-end, we get easily the INTERESTED.

    SOUNDS

    This guitar followed me a lot during training progressive guitar / bass / drums. Addition on my Pod xt live and my Peavy amp 100 watts, it is perfectly suited to the style of music fits perfectly with the effects, yet ahead of my pod (all effects flangers make trs VERY well ). The same note at a constant blowing on the amp (even if it is low), leaving close the rough finish of the guitar ... The main problem in the RSID distorted sounds for which there is unfortunately a little fiddling his amp and pedals to avoid the sound fat and heavy dsagrable quickly. Nevertheless, its ease of CASC and fast discovering is that good sound is a atirail choice for beginners and exprimentaux.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Guitar I advise strongly to beginners because it is at the beep, the report qualitprix, design, simplicity of the crushing sound of the machine, and especially in the neck indeed, really comfortable (we soon fell in love!), the gax70 knows how dfendre. I use it for several years now and I think its ease of use has t gal as the Variax 700 and trs trs premium. But do not expect an extremely thin and his prcis, overall, it is as complete, the hardware is cheap destiny sell up to novices. ..

    OVERALL OPINION

    Heuu he must have been a little over a year, must admit she is super nice finishing ms is not level, the value for money is good enough ac experience I think that it would purchase a more solid guitar! like a les paul ...

    The handle is very nice for this range of guitar, I love it. It is a little heavy and unbalanced pti as we play up in May with a wide strap is very enjoyable even played debout.son weight is far from a failure majeur.L access to good standing as acute seated and the sound is correct for this range of guitar.Elle not go out of tune.

    SOUNDS

    I play it on an ibanez tone blaster 25w coupled to a big muff russian chorus flanger ibanez and small stone home Ehel sounds good and is very versatile, from reggae to stoner doom through the pa is a problem. I Bienle micro serious home which is rather good qualities the microphone is also acute, but lacks a bit in the solo préscision I find and get a little rough on agreements on all the strings problem disto.Le of these are micro lorskon branch powerful amp for the stage, for example where one feels more défaut.Cela's still good for this range of guitar, the sound is not up to shit.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is my first guitar, I've had two and a half years and if I change it to a gibson.J 'I changed the micro by Seymour, a 59 (sh1) to handle custom and custom (SH11) in bridge with push-pull on both micro and we took a slap at son.Avec micro push-pull and all I got for 400euro, the guitar is original about 250th in a shop I love this exelente scratch is a base to start I recommend it to beginners but I think what no longer manufactured dommage.D origin jlui is May 9 by changing the micro tears she exelente guitar for beginners

    Guitar made in Indonesia.
    Form close to a Gibson SG.
    Channel 22 cargo maple.
    Gibson mechanical type.
    So simple equipment but of good quality that responds very well to the expectations of a guitar study.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is really nice, very fast.
    Access to acute is reasonable.
    Ergonomics are generally good, perfect seated position, as to the standing position, I never had to complain, even if some find it looks next round. This is not false, but then to say that it is embarrassing for the game ... and more with a leather strap, the problem is almost zero.

    The question, I think for a guitar of this range, there's really nothing to say, for some it is plugged into a good amp. We can even say that it has its fine print. We can not say that the settings are as accurate as on a guitar more upscale but you can still get out sounds interesting.

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is pretty versatile, it comes out the big sound as well as his soft, warm light.
    The sound is by no cons very "flashy". Only the acute lack a little finesse and softness.

    I have long used this guitar on a 60 JazzChorus giving an interesting color to sound clear.
    I also used a Marshall JTM 30 with a good record Crunchy.

    In short, sounds completely honest for this range of guitar and to explore different musical styles.
    on the other hand, for lovers of crystalline sounds so Fender, it's not really his specialty

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought this guitar in England for the equivalent of about € 200 there are 5 or 6 years.
    My goal was to have a guitar that I can lug around without fear.
    I used a lot until I can afford to invest in a high-end guitar.
    It made me all this time of loyal service. I never had the slightest concern,
    apart from the strap clips that are not very strong and I had to be replaced
    by Straplocks for safety.

    I have not tried all the guitars in this price range, but every time I was able to compare
    to others, I concluded that it was defending himself pretty well. Anyway, question value for money, there's really nothing to say.

    This is a guitar that easily I would advise any beginner guitarist.
    And she has the mouth and more!
