- Eagle in the year 70/80 was a "registered importer", meaning that the importer (in this case IML) was made the guitars in Japan and specifications with a brand and a logo belonging to IML.
- This guitar was manufactured in Japan and has aged rather well (I do not know when to date, but it seems it's not new)
- Channel varnish
- In quality, the Eagle is fucking great, as were made by Hoschino, who was also branded ... Ibanez guitars, just at the time of the lawsuit against Gibson
- Potassium 3: 1 volume, 2 tone
- When I bought it, there was no vibrato, but it is expected

UTILIZATION

- The handle is really great, because it is very nice polish. My bars are pretty used cargo but it's still a pleasure to play on
- Access to Acute is actually easy
- I find it really well: it is a mid-range guitar
- The sound is excellent, I love! I do not know the brand of microphones but they are really good and have aged very well

SOUNDS

- I'm not a super level, since the beginning harmonica player but I play the blues is excellent. Friends guitarists who were able to test it loved it.

OVERALL OPINION

It must be 3 months I have
I paid € 140 At the beginning I planned to take me a squier but to be honest, I find it ten times better!
I used a joueais james spirit of my brother (guitarist confirmed) that new, cost 2100Fr (about 300 €) at the time, he found my guitar much better (his is very nice, but the boost is the is not great. A guitar instead to start)
Very good quality / price ratio
Monitoring at cons: the varnish down the shaft slammed (small crack). The luthier said that it does not matter.
Another vendor told me that sometimes the handle breaks ... but I do not know what is this info.

In short a great guitar, very nice and very pleasant to play. Used for 140 € is really a case (knowing that in addition, provided an eagle box / hard case to carry it is really damn good: for € 140 I had with the box)
