Guitar made in Korea in 2004.
22 jumbo frets, pickups Made in America - G & L Magnetic Field.
Bridge "dual fulcrum", meaning two studs.
Settings: volume, treble, bass, classic 5 position switch plus a micro switch which couples high and low together.
Maple neck with rosewood button.
Light ash body (swamp ash) - good sustain.
Plastic nut - to be replaced with a bone nut or graphite.
UTILIZATION
Very easy guitar to play, has one of the best rounds I know (I play for over 20 years). Access to acute and more difficult as the neck-through, but still possible. Weight and correct for me.
The setting of severe (very unusual) with the toggle switch allows you to find sounds really nice crunch as well as plain. on the other hand, this guitar is not made for heavy distos. For this, consider a change of micro acute, with a dual format Strat.
The pickups are not noisy, because they provide a signal level high enough for single coils.
SOUNDS
This guitar is great for rhythm and solos in his or light crunch. The ability to couple the two microphones acute and severe, this particular guitar, to find sounds really nice.
Sounds the most enjoyable in my opinion, can be obtained on a Fender type amp Tweed Combo, with a bit of reverb. The ash body gives a lot of sustain and tone quite warm.
Vibrato is ok as long as we limit its action.
OVERALL OPINION
This is a very good guitar, which resists even after the purchase of an LTD MH-400, it will advantageously be completed.
The little less than this guitar is the nut plastic, that I will replace with a bone nut or graphite.
