In unpacking the instrument, no problem finishing in the instrument inspected from every angle. Apart from the reaccordage, the settings for action and intonation are perfect, why I put 10.

UTILIZATION

Ergonomics:
Due to the weight of the mahogany intrument is quite big, so plan a robust strap! However, this does not prevent the instrument to remain hyper comfortable and well balanced when the shoulder! the form of cutouts provides access to acute very easy: cut arrives at the 23rd 22-fret, no problem then!

The handle:
Varnish is very soft to the touch and not n'accroche abolument. The frets are well polished, no hanging at Demanche and various phrases legato. The size of the frets is very significant that both rhythmic solo handle is a highway. The rosewood is beautiful, and inlays, in original form, besides being beautiful are perfectly polished and do not exceed / not sink into the handle.

SOUNDS

I am a guitarist that explores a lot of style, from blues to heavy hard rock. I was looking for a year a new guitar very versatile and I susi filled. I use an amp peavey VK112 with various pedals for distortion / OD, chorus, wah, comp

Guitar not connected:
The instrument has an exellent sustain load and performing a few harmonics is a real pleasure to hear them echo through the woods as we feel it vibrate.

By plugging the guitar now:
The lens is really clean, all frequencies expressed.
when using the bridge pickup, treble sing while when moving in neck pickup, the bass resonate. splits when the microphones we find ourselves in "the universe fender", the splitter is really effective and we recover the characteristic sound of single coil pickups

In crunch:
we get a lot of good bluesy sound to perfection and that whatever the position of microphones; mahogany warms the sound and the table in maple blackmailed mediums.

In saturation:
You can explore the good old heavy or go to the ACDC in the legato to satriani! the harmonic sing saturations drool not very clean

Overall it seems to find a PRS between his fingers. It is in the crunch and the good old ACDC I think this guitar sings the most!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a month since I use it extensively. I was looking for a year a new guitar and I took the time to try a lot of models in all brands and it's really this guitar blew me most in my face and beard of the most people such as Start, Telecaster, prs single cut ,....
Since I'm rather a soloist, I would have liked to see my old floyd but hey it would sustain lost .... and I have other guitars for that!
In addition, the quality / price ratio (a large guitar for 599 €) is monstrous! when you see the finish of the instrument and how it sounds ....
I had a picture of Cort who was not particularly brilliant with all the "they say" and I really tried half-heartedly by chance ... well I say do not believe everything that is said!! just out of curiosity I encourage you to try it!
a picture as a gift a little more flattering what graphics:
