Korean manufacturing, excellent in terms of aesthetics but lacked a bolt in one of the knobs ...
22 frets, flat and wide, small freight
2 single coil alnico Parker + Fishman Piezo elements 6
Knobs: Volume microphones microphones elec elec + Tone + Volume piezo
Elec micro switch 3 positions: neck / neck + bridge / bridge
Split piezo: elec / elec + piezo / piezo
Ash body
Maple neck, screwed

Bridge: the octave, the guitar was far too high to believe that the bridge had been placed near a cm too high ... I get the elements of a bridge base, reaching even up against the Mi ... no top!

Color: mine has finished "natural" (see photo product to the top of the piezo stroke zoom) it looks nothing like the picture you can see on the official website of the brand (not at all representative of the color rendering of the varnish!)

8 / 10 because the bolt and the bridge (a small scandal)

UTILIZATION

The handle is extra, no inserts the key does not interfere with the "readability" of the handle (there are small dots on the side anyway). The varnish (satin) never sticks, even after long hours of scratching. Sliding on the handle is perfect.
=> After a year of use I find the handle a little too large ...

The cutting of the body slightly rounded at the joint body / neck and asymmetric screw easy => Access to acute no problem.

The guitar is frankly slightly less than 3.5 kg

8 / 10 because the handle a bit wide

SOUNDS

Hot on his neck, with both twang, rock on the bridge. The sound is really good, but the real slap happens with piezos ... mixing them with Scoil you'll get your ears clear sound and crunch. (Not ideal for metal ...)

By measuring the volume of the piezo you just get the foil and the presence desired => sound a little gypsy-jazz with the neck of Scoil, fantastic!

Mode piezo only have to play clean ... errors do not forgive, the sound is excellent! To use this configuration requires a very high action strings or you may get the frisotis ...

I think changing the Scoil the bridge humbucker for Scoil format for versatility with distortion ... but to think.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 year
The pros: clear sound, the piezo, weight, look
The -: not intended for saturation and metal
I would do this choice.
