Guitar made in korea
22 frets, 2 humbuckers with a nice feature: in addition to the volume knob is assigned to each microphone, a knob lets you mix the microphone between his humbucker or single-coil. like a split progressive but!
against it by no knob of tone.
Tune o matic
3-position selector
set neck of beauty, relatively flat with fairly thick frets, very fast (compared to my Start anyway)
look that kills all the wood is gorgeous and very good work, fittings bronze style does not knock (unlike the visible gold hardware on the same model but in a different finish)

UTILIZATION

Handle very comfortable, I played on strat anvant (I play dailleurs tjrs above) so it changes me, but it adapts very quickly. run very fast and accessible in the treble, the 22nd fret of the low E string s'atteind 3 months without the risk of functional rehabilitation of the wrist.
overall, super comfortable to play, as ultra light weight pen overgrazing. even lighter than SG! it is even so light that sometimes it seems to play a playskool scratches if you look at the beast and no one listens to no sound. as it sounds!
no brainer on this point, the settings are basic, Les Paul style. there is just the knobs to split the need aprivoiser microphones, but ca no secret, is to experiment. relatively versatile in sound, of course we will tease the least Canibal corpse as Led Zeppelin, but it still sends the pie if you work hard enough!

SOUNDS

As I said above, this is a very versatile guitar, so I need to complete my strat customized version Seymour Duncan HotRails.
I use an Egnater TOL 100 amp, it sounds damned good, before buying it I also tested on a VOX AC30, a RANDALL, MARSHALL JCM200 and a KUSTOM, each brought his amp on different key guitar, but she kept in any case a nice range of sounds.
I especially like the sound clear when the two pickups are connected in humbucker mode, the crunch with the neck pickup in single coil between 50/50 and humbucker, and the distortion, bridge humbucker + = big sound!

OVERALL OPINION

I did the last few days, I am already addicted.
besides being able to adapt to most styles of music by its sound, it also looks super class that goes whether you are a hardcore band and blues.
if I had the choice, I will redeem this one, unless they leave the big box sor in 24 .....
