Value For Money : Correct
Made in China
TOM Bridge
SG-style handle, fast enough without being outstanding
22frets
Two Hambuckers
2 volume / 2 tone
Three-position selector

UTILIZATION

Channel quite nice, fine and fast enough.
Ergonomics loyal to SG, light body, pitched slightly nose but it is an SG after all.
Access to more than treble drinking, carefree until the 19th fret of the low E string.


SOUNDS

Well, being Chinese, are the smicros bof, apart from the bridge pickup which I find quite good, although sharp, spitting disto well and is pleasant clean
I play mostly hard / heavy / métal.grunge / punk, so yes it fits my style.
I do not touch tones, completely responsible, and is doing quite early, well it's not a gibson or an epiphone but it holds water level son.Comme said before, I only use the bridge pickup because I think the neck pickup is pretty feeble, not accurate for a sub, and center position, sound like a big soft enough pate, therefore no school!
The use of palm mute is very interesting with the bridge pickup because it gives a dry and powerful style Les Paul or Viper.


OVERALL OPINION

Gonna do three years that I use and one time I regretted this purchase because I could not find it enjoyable. As bassist now, I shall softly on the guitar and I start to appreciate it.
This is my first guitar and I ordered it on the internet without trying one, and I confess to be relatively satisfied.
The pros: the sound of the bridge pickup, power, weight and look (I painted flat black!)
The -: The neck pickup, the comfort of the handle, the last fret not very accurate.
Value for money properly.
Rockson is a subsidiary of Jack and Danny, I think I will save a bit more (20th over) and I would go for a J & D. This guitar remains suitable for a beginner, but do not expect to make a pro career with, or modifying it so as to side with an Epiphone, it is wrong road, but that's normal.
