Mexico.
Very pale blue body, rosewood fingerboard almost flat. 3 single vintage.
Ping vintage mechanical.
For complete description, go to any site.
Perfect finish.
Cover "luxury" rather limited. (= Cheap) but it's better than nothing.
I do not like the truss-rod body under the open side pickgard. It is impossible to optimize.

UTILIZATION

The guitar is pretty heavy to me. (Much more than my RF1000 LAG Roxane). Otherwise it is very enjoyable to play, vibrato is top, the mechanics are very good agreement despite their vintage config. It acts as a stratum, for my part, fairly flat key is fine with me.

SOUNDS

It sounds very well already empty. Very powerful, very funky / country.
Once connected: low output, very clear sound slamming, the sound stratum in its glory on the first 4 positions, especially positions mixed beautiful. Sorry, I do not like the sound of the pickup, regardless of the setting of the amp. A little too bright without being niaque should compensate. I did not find any good use.
Overall, clear sound perfect, especially with a little chorus or phaser. Crunch sound pretty good. In distortion, nothing very convincing. (I play on Laney VC15, BB preamp and Zvzex Distortron). But for everything else, this guitar is worth a visit for 10 times the price.
Attention, the shield of the cavities is to make it much buzz except on the intermediate positions, and it is better to keep hold of the ropes.

OVERALL OPINION

3 months of use.
Likes: the look, character, fun to play, his funky / blues / country, or light crunch, finish, vibrato, the key with her big landmarks, the first 4 positions of the selector, the value for money.
I dislike: the cover, the weight, the total lack of electrical insulation, the trussrod, micro acute; the sound distortion.
