The guitar is made in Korea and not to United States (a 700 euro increase in emg, MECAS Rotomatic grover mini ($ 75 even when the game), graphite nut offset, set neck, binding around the handle, all mahogany, should not be thought in Santa Claus either!)
otherwise it has a nice rosewood fingerboard, inlays plastok but nice (especially compared abalone Series Deluxe is sheaves!), 24 frets a little big, tune 24.75 gibson type, a rather good position toggle, one volume, one tone and a simple tunomatic. Note reinforcement behind the neck for added security.
you can do with reflections on the table that the body is made of three pieces of mahogany (I think ... eh).
the base it is mounted in 81/81 but since this year's 81/85! yay!
was inside the cavities are shielded with aluminum tape, a small clip to the battery not move, a chti Serflex for all that have to be clean! great!
I put richly deserved Sept. 1 at this price it's really good at all!

(For 10 flight case should be supplied, strap locks, and why not mother of pearl inlays for!)

UTILIZATION

The handle is rather late, rather narrow, a mix between tradition and modern gibson. I immediately loved it. Access to the sharp is very good, 24 cases are easily playable (even if the top of the handle ... it's tight)

the guitar is super comfortable as much as sitting upright, the body is super light weight (3kg). on the other hand, a small imbalance (and yes, copra is really light!) That if we loose the guitar side looking head. I put the tie strap behind the heel, it's going better now that behind the horn, and you'll quickly get the hang of caller forearm tightly against the body. A bad point which disappears completely in 1 week.
Acordage for the good and great nut MECAS allow an agreement really easy.

the controls are damn good, although I prefer the toggle up lespaul kind, you got more class tapper with a fist above without gaffe to change gears um micro switch.

9 because of the imbalance.

SOUNDS

This scraper is great for hard, rock and metal. saturates everything quickly and well, full of the 81 mediums resortent directly into the ear, the ecstasy. the tone is not bad, and not easily mitigate acute ultra loud when we play has whawha (yeah, emg 81dans a cry baby in a pod mod jcm800a bottom with drive boost, it sounds not very metheny or benson)

issue a clear, plenty to do, but it is not the strong point of guitar.c 'estpour why I put a 89 (a splittable 85) instead of round 81. I turned the tone to make use of the site to volume 89 and its split. I kept the master volume (some would put a micro volume) pasque anyway for me the bridge in 81 is always a bottom or anything)

So I rule the 89 (or 85 SA, volume) according to the PARALLEL I need in the 81. Mstera thoroughly, and I play with the toggle for the pieces.

and it is the dream.
8 with 2 81 9 with 81 and 85 (as at present) and 10 with a 89coté handle.

OVERALL OPINION

Jel'ai for 15 days, I find great, although low sounds clear with two 81 (finally clean sounds ...), and what individuals despite this flaw balancing.

otherwise, the sound, comfort, everything is good ...

in the competition, I see that the schecters diamonds (especially the series blackjack), and some yamaha are able to compete (and TFW new washburn ...)
I would do well obviously that choice, I love the scratches.
