UTILIZATION

No problem. 2 volume knobs and 2 knobs of Tone t would be welcome but for the price we will not complain ...
The handle is lacquered type SG 61 trs enjoyable.
Warning: I thought the silent action of the strings high enough and I took to using the Tune-o-matic and it carrment better! Made even when attention is that strings do not border on ...
The knobs are not terrible and we go a little bit of everything there, especially with distortion.

SOUNDS

Micro-bridge: It sounds good for trs crunch and saturated sounds, both for rhythm and for solos and benefitted from a good power. The rock sound is trs, trs medium but can be done all with the metal.
Micro-round: It is used for clean sounds. The sound is round, soft trs. This is the one that will be used to shred and sweeping ... on the other hand, not for its rhythmic saturated. The sound will be rough, too serious and too powerful. Too bad.
Micro-neck + bridge: The combination of both gives a nice sound for bluesy improvisation in its crunch. In the sound is pretty clean lens, trs beautiful. I use it when I have to play a song originally on a strat jou (even when it is not the same thing, but ...-_-").

OVERALL OPINION

For the price it's worth, this guitar is really good. It sounds as good (see more) that most of the guitars that are sold to people who know nothing in music stores for much cheaper! This is THE guitar for those beginners who want to play rock, hard rock, despite the weaknesses of lgres neck pickup and the knobs!
