Fixed bridge
In terms of microphones: 3positions + 2split
-Simple
-Intermediate (single and double)
Double-
Intermediate-splits
-Double Split
Channel C
1potart volume (which is also split)
Potart a micro
Note, no potart tone.

UTILIZATION

A handle that slides rather pleasant lot to my taste. It recognizes the style of Fender neck.

Access to acute is very simple (as a beginner take as very simple ^ ^)

This is one great original shape of the guitar (in fact the design of a low fender) that attracted me. For a guitar of this price, the finish is amazing, I 2TS in Sunburn, painting and nickel, and varnish the same, no complaints. This is my first guitar, I do not really know whether it is heavy or not. She is more than acoustic, but inevitably I find quite light, even if we feel it has some weight anyway (I have a friend who has a Cort and weight is almost half that: p) . Otherwise I would say that it is fairly well balanced.

For sound, I like to play a blank in front of my TV, I find the sound really nice. Once connected, it&#39;s as good or better. The pickups are good quality, although a few (too) low but hey we will not complain c is not a € 200 microphones. Sound hot to the solo is very versatile. A super skyscrapers.
NB: If you notice the small screws on the HB, they can raise this one, giving more or less sound. It&#39;s nice to settle the differences between the microphones.
The agreements are not too bad, but mine tends to be somewhat Disagree, and a wriggling strings from time to time. In addition, the small rope breaks constantly, so much so that I put a # 2 ...
Anyway out the price, we will not have the quality United States;).

A big negative for cons. I think it&#39;s a chance, but mine had a manufacturing defect ... in fact the intermediate position was not working because the wire was soldered in place mauavais ... well after I look elsewhere and resoldered it works great. I put 7 because it&#39;s really something that my Soule. In fact I&#39;m going to 6, because it&#39;s been a year and the volume knob would not at all, and the microphone splitter c is really boring.

SOUNDS

I like to play everything, all I hear etc, exept the black death metal etc ... not my thing. Otherwise a small blues with the simple, to Led Zep duplicate the beatles, the red hots, The Who, I am satisfied .... (1 years later I still am)

I play with a Fender Pro 1000 (100 watts) tube, I have not yet purchased effects pedal so I&#39;ll speak in terms of their set was the amp. In clean, sound great, no complaints. In fact as we do not pass well to the big metal villain (let) c is really good. I like to sometimes play with ACDC overdrive, the sound is really super super great.
Now I have a Zoom G2 pedal, the sound is fine, except that the low-quality microphones are a little too much background noise I think. It&#39;s sometimes boring.

The Micro&#39;s simple gives a warm enough as I said above, really good to play when a small dish or blues, etc ... a little like a stratum. The humbucker gives a very pure sound, style telecaster really powerful. The split was when one gives a somewhat lower but more crystalline, cool for solos. For the intermediary, the sound is really special and a very nice mix of stratum and TV ^ ^.

In fact, I really like the sound of that skyscraper.

A negative level of sound, but more because of the electronics I think the guitar volume set thoroughly, I have a nasty crackling in the amp, c is a shame. So I is not 10.

OVERALL OPINION

I play with from 1 month (now 1 year)

What I like most, I like everything really. As against a negative for the knobs, not much has changed in practice "live" (so c is a big word ^ ^) and a bit of dificille access.

I play guitar with my friends, but most can. Otherwise I played (a little) acoustic.

Level money, I think c is the highlight of the guitar, a super skyscraper for a really low price.

I selected this scratching especially given its low price tale of his abilities, not really sure I hung the guitar, so a small investment to give up with a scratch of € 1000. If I have a budget - € 700 (for the guitar only), without hesitation I resume. (1 years after I realize I&#39;m still not ready to put in a guitar and around € 700 I would do even if that choice. My friends were all amazed that the scratches cost only € 177. I think it&#39;s a sure bet for a beginner)
