Best value:
Excellent
Designed by Greg Bennett
- In which country was it made?
Indonesia
- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
22 frets. 2 Duncan Designed humbuckers. I must say that these pickups have strongly influenced my purchase even though I preferred Seymour Duncan, but we can not have everything for this price (€ 327 in 2005).
- What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
2 volume knobs and 2 tone knobs. A micro switch Treble / Ryhthm
UTILIZATION
- The handle is it fun?
This is a very pleasant round to play
- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Access to treble is excellent given the shape of the guitar (SG). I much prefer this form that the form Stratocaster.
- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Slight tendency to pitch down. But the problem is quickly resolved if you have a strap that hangs well, which is my case.
- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
Oh yes! These micro Duncan Designed is perfect for what I do (rock with metal tendencies few times)!
SOUNDS
- They are suitable to your style of music?
It is a very versatile guitar. You might as well trigger a metal riff and then pick up on a very soft melody as it is a very warm sound.
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play with a Carlsbro amp Kickstart25, a Hughes & Kettner Matrix 100 combo and a Marshall JCM 2000 TSL 100 head and with a built-in zoom 606 guitar and I must say that comes out good sound
- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
A warm and acute slamming solo!
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
I love everything!
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
I use it for 2 years and I never tire point. Today I have a BC Rich Kerry King Wartribe with EMG 81 and EMG 85 original. But I always use as much of my Torino.
- What is so special that you like most and least?
I love everything!
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I played on a Pacifica and a Yahmaha Aria pro 2. It is above the level of the Yamaha and squarely above the level of the Aria Pro 2
- How would you rate the quality / price?
This is a good quality / price ratio. Paid € 327
- With experience, you do again this choice?
For that price, definitely YES! But if I had a bigger budget, I will try other guitars.
