UTILIZATION

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSPLENDIDE !!!!!!!!!!

Lightweight and balanced, the game is very nice and fast access to acute perfect.

The only criticism that tends to return regularly covers the handle. It is round, rather large and varnishes.
I understand that some people find fault with (small hands or used Fender / Ibanez for example), in my case not the smallest fingers in the world with a drop of polish on a regular basis and this guitar is awesome was quick to take to a guitarist in shorts and cap!

SOUNDS

OH

MON

GOD!

This is the legend that is singing!
A very wide range of sounds full, warm, round, clear, variations of play that give chills with microphones reagents wish! And that's just for the Clean!

The settings are accurate and nothing but the guitar (four knobs!) Can be varied sounds, styles, etc ...
The amp is left alone with a loop station and it would feel to be able to change the scratch!

In terms of a range of sound more "punchy", the microphones are great! (The guitar is made for the same time!)
They take very good saturation, harmonics come out beautifully, and we understand what we do! Blues tend to sound "metal" sharp and incisive, this guitar line in a cold sweat!

OVERALL OPINION

More than a musical instrument, is a gem! from a legend!

I am the proud owner for a short year and I do it again this choice with his eyes closed!
Seduced and conquered!
