Value For Money : Excellent
It scored lowest. Not too many frills, but good.
The body is actually in an alder denser than that which can be found normal.
However I would have liked more of a tone volume.
This is my first made in the USA (finally)

UTILIZATION

The neck is perfect, really perfect. The best I could test, not the end (the S series Ibanez remain quite unrealistic that side) but the most balanced, the radius of the button from 16 "(very flat) top of the handle , 12 (very flat) bottom.
Weight and access to treble typical of a stratum.
If I wanted I could quibble highlight the absence of a heel carved like the American Deluxe, but it's also an aesthetic choice and feelings of games. For me a good old stratum big heel a massive pile (which does not interfere that much in the end)
Unplugged sound is very good, good projection, good vibes, my group of bagpipe out Kiff.
I ogled the then noticed a hole in the body as a (?!!!!) taken pil hair to the size of my cable jack, an opportunity by the thief, I plugged in an amp that was passing by.

SOUNDS

But is that it makes a noise that thing. Good sound!
I play a bit of everything (my house) with a small preference for the 80's rock (the guitar goes with me will tell you).
In group I play power pop veering Indust. AND she should.
Mainly clear sounds, slamming (alder + dense), when we lower the volume a bit it's great for a game a little southern rock. In fact, I will not waste my time on this list in what she is good: in all. From the moment you are looking for a big sound not very thick type mahogany gibson tune etc..
2 dimarzios (evolution neck and Tone Zone f) are very versatile, slightly fat (depending on your disto), hot trends and super-rich harmonics, punchy, warm tone for the area.
In our rehearsal room I have a choice between a Marshall Vintage Modern (Marshall and other less well made) and a fender cyber twin.
The problem of Marshall (and all the british amps for that matter) is this tendency to exaggerate the high mids, and the skyscraper that unforgiving. So you heard about it, and we hear that you (and the cymbals of drummer who take the opportunity to crash a bit more), so much that after one or two repeated high volume of I lose half of my abilities (hearing of course). Fender American Standard on most modern type or mesa, the sound is flatter, more stereo, I prefer, and it fits with what I did.
In short you can play everything without flinching, but it is a professional guitar, Obviously, is made to rock.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a little over a month, and I think I finally found a guitar, a real one, which could last.
With the experience I would do this choice is clear. Style (Super Start) I think there is no better.
For a hair over 1000 euro was an excellent guitar, I would not say it's a good value anyway because I always found amazing the price differences between Europe and after import usa.
Unfortunately (rip love) I'll sell it because me a bit in debt to buy it, I find myself in a very delicate situation ...
If I had been comfortable financially I would have probably kept for life.
