    Guitar-shaped stratum, but a lil bit tt + aggressive

    one humbucker at bridge, 2 single

    the handle is very fine, but some pretty c c tricks not the top. I prefer the handle of a fender (+ comfortable ^ ^)

    UTILIZATION

    The neck is pretty fast and it's true that sometimes some agreements that limit hard to keep

    access to the treble does not worry, the guitar is quite heavy even when the form is quite sympatoche

    vibrato is bad enough, the rod comes with a serving does not see that the vibrato is stuck.
    The lifts are in pitiful against lol, I have to put giclées schallers locking (expensive but what plaisr agree, and it's much less dsaccorde)

    the sound is average

    SOUNDS

    To play metal for a beginner, it goes, but the microphone humbuker good (although it has some potato) knows the limits for a guitarist experienced enough, the other 2 are not top.
    I sprayed all the pickups and put in a humbucker EMG active, the most widely c, the ring ^ ^ What you get a blast of largely ibanez + expensive than this one

    I play on an amp Hugh and Kettner (Warp 112), with a metal zone, that sounds good nag, clear sound with the EMG is that micro lens + origins

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a year +, the value for money is normal, is worth the price (250 euros has been jlai)

    the guitar is original pa top, but will be suitable for beginners wishing to make their weapons at an electric

    I doctored (repeins plate in black, installed Schaller, installed an EMG active microwave), guitar already sounds better now (+ opportunities to exploit the sound) and ca go out of tune or almost over (with original mechanical shit too c)

    with the tps I would do not have that choice, but hey it was my first electric scraper, I played on advan dry, I myself know not the masses ^ ^
    I'm saving to a range ibanez at dsus

    jla resell the scratches, my first c (sentimental value even when ^ ^) tampered worse as I did that ais rings.

    As mentioned below, but strangely I think it is made Indonsie ..

    UTILIZATION

    A very enjoyable race, fine, what a true highway!

    Access in dernires trs simple boxes (Obviously it's a Start)

    Ergonomics pretty good, good weight balance and lightweight enough

    Ben for sound, not expect much, it's low-end Ibanez ...

    SOUNDS

    To the extent that I play a little bit of everything, I think it suited me quite well since the electric j'tais beginners.

    I do not play with a high end amp, I have an ag Aria 30rec me and I think it is more than enough.

    The humbucker gives me the trs lens but a little too garish. (The tone knob is your friend). It keeps some distortion but r…

    The humbucker gives me the trs lens but a little too garish. (The tone knob is your friend). It keeps some distortion but remains in force trs draft.

    Middle: Good enough for solos quiet but almost no one hears!

    Neck pickup: too soft!

    The positions I have never made beaver intermdiaires now it's just a subjective opinion ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had '2 more years now

    While its shape is lovely but the guitar is dcevante force, even if the microphones rotten humbucker possde some potato, poor performance of agreement even when I do a simple band, pickguard aging trs wrong. Ms. screws trs age wrong! They are oxydsmme if I nttoie rgulirement my guitar.

    However it has a violin and a perfect polish, perhaps it would be too bad customize?

    I tested other stratodes like Squier Stratocaster or Start american. (Big diffrence is it? It really does spend the rooster)

    I keep it because it's a birthday or I think if I had the choice I would advise my family to buy a squier or a yamaha ..

    Nanmoins it remains a good electric guitar for beginners. Report quality price not too bad.

    Last Update: 13/12/2006: Here I give you my plan, I intend to change the pickups in this guitar and all electronic and mcaniques
    to see what it really is in the womb and I remake an update when I had the sousous to allow me to customize the then time to install everything. Finally, I will tell you if your exact is conclusive

    Upon reflection I have no idea of ​​its place of manufacture.

    Otherwise, the 22 frets, HSS pickups unknown, vintage type tremolo Start, 5 position selector, 1 volume, 1 tone. Handle very thin (too thin?), Almost flat, rosewood fingerboard. Look quite nice in blue.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is fine, sometimes not even enough for me consisting of playing a lot of classical parallel, the mechanical zero, the vibrato rather pitiful, the tone more or less on / off, volume knob and the lost of acute as soon as the hair down. Ergonomics is a stratum, so good.

    SOUNDS

    Its level, blah blah ... neck pickup not too bad, if the central interest goes back a little easel and shrill screaming. Intermediate positions sound too muffled.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It was my first electric was the time I knew nothing then of course it suited me: it was cheap and had a pretty face, the sound it was after I completely missed references.

    Price / quality ratio not too ridiculous (for 300 euros it is easy to play and can already have a little fun), but now we must find better at this price.

    Venue of indonsie I bought this new scratch for less than 250euros 4/5ans ago.

    thus consists of 22frettes, a double and micro 2simples,

    I read that the vibrato silent rotten and personally I've seen a lot more rotten, I would say even they are nothing in and nothing can be even when s' some fun? it is apprciable. Of course, it's not a floyd but eh not rotten.

    handle me parat plutt pais, but hey I learned the guitar with this guitar is so me no gn too but now for fast solos or what is a little merdouille ...

    UTILIZATION

    important thing, too, the guitar stays in place, I mean by it not look a ct. I test a home flyning jpeux Jackson and tell you that the handle reversed outright scratch, believing that the body is hollow, it is not the case.

    At the level of sound you get when I find even small choices with slcteur 5positions which is nice, the pickups are not good marks but again I have seen worse ^ ^

    SOUNDS

    She should always play a bit of everything, and for enmenner on vacation!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I think she's made for beginners, or it unsuitable for I have seen from that dung ct l.

    and if I had the choice again, for less than 250euros, I would do no doubt, but hey ... for beginners

    plutt but I am happy!

    Guitar-start type
    -Made in indonsie
    -22 Frets, micro Ibanez 2 singles and a double humbucker
    -Vibrato
    -2 Pots: 1 volume, 1 Tone and a 5 Knob microphone position

    The minimum for beginners

    UTILIZATION

    The neck is quite thin (normal Ibanez) and pleasant. It is quite fast and the acute CASC is easy.
    The guitar is well pluttlgre balance, easy to play
    But the s'arte not expect luxury. Done in Asia and is the first prize. So has aged badly, even has rust. But this price (250 euros) that goes for all guitars.

    SOUNDS

    SOUNDS

    Honntement for this price the sound is rather pretty. You can play everything. I use a small Marshall MG15HDFX and sound for this type of guitar is honnorable.

    The pickups provide a sound not too dgueu knowing that it's low end.
    The humbucker is correct, and simple enough hot pickups (but flat is normal) but not bad for small blues

    I bought the guitar when I started 4 years ago, I had many opportunities of comparing the Squier 400 euro from my buddy. Bin honntement the Squier silent drops. She had a very loud sound of duck.

    Now it is ridiculous from my PRS, but sometimes I play with my home and I come out almost the Dire Straits sound.

    Parcontre vibrato, it's just to see what was done when you use it, because we feel serves ds can be connected. I would not say it's crap because there are far worse but it is not.
    And sometimes it sounds a bit wrong in the agreements, sometimes even passing the 10 minutes given. (No need to settle the pitch search)

    But I told him 8 / 10. Not because it has a more beautiful sound than a Gibson, but for the price because it does not sound dgueu from certain.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 4 years and I think it is to learn what it takes.
    When I went to the store to buy it, I also try a Cort X silent even when below and CHRE.
    For beginners who want to learn to play I recommended.

    In overall score but I told him 8 / 10 because all the guitars do not sound 200 euros as well and all are not equally easy to play.
