UTILIZATION

I come from a Fender Telecaster US So initially, I had trouble with the handle rounder and wider. The touch of the handle is a little less pleasant than on my fender. Then finally you soon!

Access to acute issue, the two notches give access can not be easier. The guitar has a weight Interestingly, neither too light nor too heavy.

Point of view is very simple setting, we have a tone knob and volume microphone. This is convenient because it can have the volume all the way to the bridge pickup with distortion and a lower volume in the neck pickup for a less saturated clean, cleaner.

Unfortunately it is out of tune faster than bcp my fender, a flaw that cost him points aggregate

SOUNDS

I play a Mesa / Boogie Mesa and torque / SG ... it sounds like hell! The saturated a little too clean to my liking, so I reduced the volume of the neck pickup and all is well ^ ^. Of course, it does not have the charm of a telecaster in clean, but it's not really comparable ...

on the other hand in distortion is incredible! The sound is very hot, super high output level and harmonic shout! The sustain is endless ... This guitar is really great when you love powerful rock or blues fat.

I put 8 because the clean would be a little bit more slam that would have greatly increased its charm! I find it in distortion is really nothing to say!

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 6 months and I would do it chosen! Currently I have a Start and a Tele US, I do not expect my Gibson it has also defined a clean than Fender, but clean would have benefited from more slamming all faith ... it is still a matter of taste and it can be fixed by changing the pickups.

In distortion is the best guitar I played. Power and heat at will!
