UTILIZATION

The neck is a joy. Used to my electro-acoustic Seagull is the day and night. I do not realize for lack of basis for comparison, but now replay on my Seagull was an effort. Quickly you get used to happiness!
Access to acute is easy, even for bars. No problem for the latest freight.
The shape, weight, balance, everything is fine with me. I feel comfortable playing seated or standing.
Apart from that it is better to change the strings gum mounted by default, it's easy to get a good sound. Anyway, I have no concern on that side. But it's so subjective "good sound".

SOUNDS

I play rock, pop / rock and this guitar is perfect.

If you want, go listen on my site ( http://www.grebz.fr/musique_grebz.php ) : all the songs are played at the Start (+ other guitars, but mainly the Start).

I play at home either connect to my excellent Tonelab SE ( https://simulateur-ampli-guitare.vox.audiofanzine.com/produits/avis/index%2Cidproduit%2C37156%2Cmao%2Ctonelab_se.html ) (with headphones on my stereo, or even better on monitor speakers, this sound is superbly defined), or through amp simulators like Guitar Rig 2 and it sounds great. Note that I have no electric guitar amp at home. In rehearsal studio is on the Marshall. It sounds great, just set the amp and effects at their convenience.
The switch changes the tone of the bass to treble, which adapts the sound to his tastes and hardware that you use the Start.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since spring 2007. I love the comfort of the handle, easy to position his hands, fingers, weight, neither too heavy nor too light, the proper balancing of the instrument, its looks (I bought silver in color chrome ).
Only minor negative point: the strings provided are really too soft.

I paid 1250 euros this guitar to the stock of Playback, but I hesitate to order it in Germany, where it is found around 1100 euros. In France, it is often the official price of 1550 euros, but all trades ... In any case, even if not given the pleasure of play is huge, so I judge the value justified.
I would do probably this choice unless my abilities allow me to hit even higher in the ranges. But in this price range, I rush!
