I note the handle égréable super, excellent mechanical lock with a specific vibrato, has certainly handled smoothly ...
Good for the cases, the strap lock strap included.
UTILIZATION
it's a really nice guitar playing. the handle is really excellent, very good grip, the notes are correct, the frets well put ... good short sleeve which is not necessarily the case for all guitars of this price ... cuts of comfort are also very nice, both standing than sitting. the guitar is very well balanced, not heavy beast is a real comfort. access to acute nikel, the tuning is good (thank you and good mechanical vibrato) unless one makes Vai with vibrato that is designed more for use gentle but precise.
we get easily a good sound, fortunately for this price!
Cons: The foam knobs that are truly outrageous!
9 / 10 for the latter, if anything was wrong that's fine.
SOUNDS
I remade my opinion to a more neutral point of view after 2 years of use:
for general: it is a good guitar for the clear, but not the big crunch Satus ...
I play mostly on a JVM 410, but also a Valvestate, and I tried a 5150 II, ENGL combo and an old fender a lamp (no idea the model)
By clean is very beautiful, we recognize the sound dessuite fender. the 5-way switch allows for either the crystal-clear, (positions 2 and 4), heat (race), the screaming (bridge) and round (midlle). it's really good and effective. The S1 allows a wider range, we can approach the genre's Pink Floyd The Wall supersticious or Stevie Wonder. in general, boost the signal, so difference in volume required. So all in very good clean
In crunch, ca does too. Easy to get a-kind-M-or red hot, with what is behind of course. the rhythms are very pleasant to do as much as listen. all positions are usable, it is my favorite channel (the rhythm is the "memory of the future" live, a clean overboosted with a slight gain, round and drooling).
In saturation, let's be clear that's not it. it helps to rock nice, but forget the Giant Peach is not a H / S / S. AC will still be audible as long as there is not too much gain. it is best to change scratch for power chords, even if it goes well. it is nevertheless a good banging chorus, with good pedal to boost ca all this does it well, good sustain, good offense is cool.
Summary: excellent in clean and crunch, not for the big distos with large rhythmic but great for solos with what it takes to Bosst the distto, otherwise the sound becomes nasal
9 / 10 for the lack of fishing but I knew the purchase
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 years, I redid my opinion that was not really fair
I tried a lot of models, TV or strata, but this one I liked for its handle, its versatility (5 positions + S1) and his beautiful mouth breathing quality.
I like its clean and crunch, the feeling that it brings (to compensate for the lack of fishing is thought of more simple melody and variation of pace and attack), its good agreement, without being precise vibrato nag The look, the sustain.
I do not like the knobs of shit, the lack of consistency in fishing and disto
Finally, I use it for funk, blues and soft rock that does not require a big sound. ca for it fulfills its role very well, it's a great value.
I would do without hesitation that choice, it really brings something to the user.
9 / 10 for the slight gap, but the guitar is not perfect!
