2 single pickups, 1 humbucker, with the possibility to choose single or double coil on it

5-way switch to activate the pickups

2 tone knobs and one volume knob

22 frets

UTILIZATION

The neck is very comfortable to play, it's pretty thin and you can slide on it easily.

Access to higher frets is quick and easy (probably thanks to the neck), but as you approach the frets 19-20 it becomes more difficult (nothing too serious).

In terms of ergonomics, it may seem heavy at first, but it is a matter of habit. In terms of form, it is a perfect copy of the Fender Stratocaster, except the head, which for once is beautiful here.

In sound, we can get quality without going into the high-end equipment, which is a rather good point.

SOUNDS

This guitar is perfect for any style of music.
I am currently using a Line 6 Spider II modeling amp.
With the latter, I can get a wonderful clear sound and a super nice crunch. Also obtained a sound rock / hard rock that sounds good and a quite dirty metal sound but can let off steam!

OVERALL OPINION

Of course, praise on the guitar will depend on its use.

This guitar was my first electric guitar. When I started (I was 8 years old), the most wanted thing I had was having a guitar. For me, the stratocaster was THE electric guitar par excellence, THE basic look.

For beginners, it's great. You can play anything, and have fun without having headaches from complicated setup problems... The dream of a beginner.
Of course, depending on the style of music, after 3 or 4 years of playing, a new guitar will be needed to meet the precise needs of the user. However a small return on the first one is done regularly, I assure you!

In short, for beginners, this guitar is perfect and complete information given above should be taken based on this parameter.
