SOUNDS

Guitar very versatile.
From blues to metal.
You can get a Les Paul type sound to a Stratocaster.
His warm, crystalline, precise ....
Be clear in that it saturated as it is a very powerful guitar.
On my tube amp that sounds hellish!
Excellent with my boss GE7, Proco RAT2 and Dynacomp MXR.
I can not wait to try with my future Maxon CS9-pro.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in 2008, at Cash Converters. (99euros)
She had a very good sound, so I bought it.
Although the bridge pickup was not working!
A luthier me remade for 85euros (rewiring change knobs, adjusting the neck.)
J'e do not regret any of this guitar.
She is my main electric guitar.
I already had a Gibson SG Special and a stratocaster usa california. (I sold)
I am very satisfied with this guitar!
