Manufacturing Core.
All features have been given extensively, so I will focus on the qualities and faults of this guitar.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very fine and pleasant but the whole is a matter of habit.
Access to acute is easy.
The ergonomics are excellent, but the beast is a bit heavy! A small amigrissement cure him would not hurt.
The sounds are good but we cast a wide net force becomes insignificant. I replaced the EMG EMG inactive by active (EMG 60 in neck, an EMG S in the center and an EMG 81 in bridge) EMG on board ... and believe me it dchire serious!

SOUNDS

The guitar in its original configuration (with micro inactive) be several types of guitar music very nice! With active pickups it has a lot of sound and can really guide the guitar hard rock and metal.
I use a Vox AD 60 VT (a Valvetronix modeling). The combination works well with trs always that weakness of the original inactive microphones. The range of sounds is there, but every sound is modest and it is a little hungry.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 2.5 years. It is a bit heavy but well balanced. In gray she looks great and it stays clean (no fingerprints). Its finish is excellent.
The Flyd is good but makes it somewhat difficult to replace the strings.
The strap locks must always be changed at the time of purchase (a little shock, and they break with the risk that the guitar falls down). Opt for Fender strap locks or Dunlop. If you have the means to change the pickups and replace them with EMG active. As reported by other users of the two knobs emits a crackling sound.
The quality / price is very good.
When to take the same choice ... I have a Fender Start Eric Clapton with active pickups like Noiseless ... is something else, but it's also another prize! I would do the same choices but only if the guitar had other microphones.
