Value For Money :
Correct
All my grades are given in terms of price, a 10/10 does not mean it is perfect, and is not comparable to the same note on a deluxe example ... do not dream, eh. ^ ^
FEATURES
- Table and veneer flamed maple top.
- Body basswood (linden).
- Bolt 24 frets maple.
- Rosewood fingerboard, Jumbo frets.
- Marked with "points" pearlescent inlaid with model name at 12th fret.
- 2 micros ESP LH-150.
- 3 position selector.
- 1 volume, 1 tone.
- Mechanical (3 +3) in an oil bath.
- Stop bar tailpiece and Tune-O-Matic.
- Chrome or black hardware.
- 4.9 kg
- Made in Korea.
The look is nice, the SG shape is slightly distorted in both classical and original, very rock.
Flamed the table, it is really nice, head shape "open book" asymmetric, which also receives a flamed veneer, copy again the Gibson with a touch of originality and aggressiveness. This is consistent with the body and well seen.
Nothing to say, for the price it's very pleasing to the eye.
9 / 10 originality compensating timber quality.
UTILIZATION
Channel D flat polished (type Gibson 60) very nice.
Easy access to acute despite the handle screw.
Guitar a bit heavy, but it is reassuring.
The sounds will depend greatly on the amp, but overall the pickups sound clear, very "mid" (that is corrected with a good equalizer), thus a good basis.
The machine is easy to play, it plays well, there is nothing to hinder the game
Small flat on mechanical rather vague, but once granted, it would not too bad.
Another recurring criticism, but this is a form SG and as always in this type of guitar, it looks both forward and toward the head. This is blatant lying on the rock thigh position. Academic position or standing with a good strap, it gets better.
I had 2 problems when I received the beautiful, if that can be used for certain: she absolutely did not agree and it was impossible to adjust the accuracy. In fact the inserts that support the stop bar came out of the body (the wood is soft, he just "ate").

I disassembled everything, glued the inserts with wood glue and then I left to dry for 2 weeks (it was fortunate I was leaving on vacation). Any wound, a little bit of fat pencil in the grooves of the nut and the saddles to promote sliding of the ropes and more concern, it goes out of tune almost over and it is finally just ... phew!
8 / 10 because of mechanical and imbalance, but it's still good.
SOUNDS
I play rock, metal on a Digitech RP350 multi effect.
The sounds will depend greatly on the amp, but overall it sounds very (too?) "Mid" but also very specific, it's good for all music a bit nervous. It is not meant to play blues or jazz, but I imagine that with better pickups, it would be more bass.
I also think it up a couple GFS 468T/496R or Gibson I have in reserve, I edit at this time.
7 / 10: a bit too medium level sound (for my taste, but it can please), nice precision saw the price.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it 2 months, bought in the third skyscraper to lug around, to leave in the closet at work when I work at night. At that price was not too afraid of hitting!
The pros:
- Look really nice.
- Ergonomics.
- Accuracy of microphones.
- Value for money.
The -:
- Sounds very medium (but you can love for AC / DC for example).
- A little heavy.
- Bend a little.
I put 9 / 10 in overall rating, although the average is 8, because I really hit a price floor (possibly due to problems of bridge) and has real quality.
I would advise any beginner to those looking for yet another guitar work, lugging.
A good choice.
