It can lower the bridge using a screwdriver, thereby lowering the strings and get a better gameplay (but beware not to fall too much, frieze ca!).

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice. A little harder to play than a Gibson, but having tested a dozen guitars before (Schecter, Squier, Ibanez ...) is the one I was most successful. Access to the treble is pretty straightforward, too worried about that. The guitar is unbalanced and slumps when playing with a strap (mahogany wood is heavy). It is easy to get a good sound, with the neck pickup set to bottom, we get a setting to play at the disto. The bridge pickup sounds great in clean.

SOUNDS

It is a guitar for styles of rock turning around. For my part I used for metal and hard rock (Metallica, Guns N 'Roses, Van Halen). One can also get a good crunch sound. Playing on a Peavey Vypyr, the sound is a treat in distortion can be placed riffs accurate as fat. Harmonics are easy to obtain. It can hardly get the pristine sound of a Stratocaster, unless using an X Boost pedal (like the Vypyr).

OVERALL OPINION

It will be 2 years since I played it, it's really a good guitar, perfect for beginners. I tested many guitars before, and had no experience in the test, I took one that seemed most comfortable. I will soon sell it for a Cort G270. Value for money and very good, the guitar is very dear for what it is (around 290 euro). With experience, I'd probably choose it for its comfortableness, but not for her, I play less and less interest now metal and blues / jazz. It's a safe bet!
