I do not know the precise characteristics.
The neck has 22 frets
1 humbucker and 2 single pickups ibanez
vibrato
1 volume 1 tone
Slcteur 5 positions
Pretty good handle

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite enjoyable, not much to complain about on this side of, if not a lightweight growth below the ex mcaniques.
Access to ISSA is acute.
The shape is classic Start, but more aggressive which makes it rather well.

SOUNDS

Ba makes the sound ......
ba voila, the humbucker is a good potato for a Fat Start, perfect for the palm mute, metal, but in return it is not very accurate.
The microphone in the middle is IDAL for solos and makes a not too dgeulasse.
the neck pickup ...... ba blah I would find it useful.
The pickups fared quite as clean disto ....... but it's carnage.
I finally found nanmoins rglage a lot on the double by modulating the tone.
So THE ONLY clean is indeed quite

OVERALL OPINION

I did not buy it to give me. Not bad for a first guitar for quite versatile.
But good must not expect miracles.

My first opinion, I start ...

- Manufactures a priori in indonsie without certainty ...
- 22 frets, 2 pickups single (Powersound-S) (sleeve and intermdiaire), 1 humbucker (Powersound-H) (bridge)
- Vintage Stratocaster vibrato type (I think)
- Adjustable volume, tone, 5 position slecteur
- Handle stocky, one pice, U-shape
- Rosewood fingerboard, classic inlay dots, probably plastic ...
- Agathis body

UTILIZATION

Premire is my guitar, a little "point of references" to those I have tried later. I am not a great specialist in the guitar, so you must be content with my clumsy explanation.

The handle is one of the highlights of the guitar (for this price range), I find trs enjoyable, especially for beginners because it is relatively thin and flat enough to allow an easy game. I possde four months since.

Access in acute is relatively easy.

The guitar is well balance and is quite lgre. The shape is classic.

I found the bridge rglage ennervant enough. It dssacorde guitar tremolo all the shots, so I ended up "tighten" the springs in order to block the bridge and remove the bar (I do not use in DEFINITIONS). The action of the strings, although correct, is improved, the possitive the lowest I could get too high as my taste, but nothing catastrophic. The rglage (perfect) harmonics is impossible, but if you're not a perfectionist, it will easily accommodates.

SOUNDS

For sound, rglage are very simple: a volume knob, one for the tonal and the pickup selector.

I play on a small 15 watt marshall amp, requires apartment. I had the opportunity to try it on a Roland Cube 20X, but I love this amp too, I think it makes a more "cold".

The humbucker is quite nice, especially with distortion. Nice for punk, mtal, rock, ...

The micro intermdiaire makes a more "bluesy", rather good but lacks a bit of potato.

I never tried the neck pickup.

In gnral, the sound is pretty good. It must s'amliorer sharply with a better quality amp.

OVERALL OPINION

Premire is my guitar, I bought it on occasion with the 150 amp and distortion pedals.
For guitar and Premire in this price range, I do not think we can do much better.
The handle is particulirement good, what a good thing to learn. The sound is pretty decent, the configuration S / S / H is nice because of the versatility offered. The only point of iow the guitar is, I think the bridge.

Good guitar for beginners, but we must admit that I am tired pretty quickly.

I put 8 / 10 for the report qualitprix.

Then:
It has 22 frets neck
Two simple micro-double
Potentiomtres-volume tone and a 5 position selector microphones
A vibrato-

UTILIZATION

The handle is, I think, por a guitar in this range Carment good, even bluffing (and having tried several stagg squier jpeux tell you that this leg of the cot bomb!). The headstock is not glue which is rather surprising for the price ... Access to acute is good enough. I like the style as a stratovolcano with horns sharper. It is quite heavy but it suporte.

SOUNDS

O Good will say that for the price range is reasonable trs, the stuff used on drinking no major problems (acute in some garish distos) but anyway for the beginning it's perfect! At the limoite going to change the pickups when you confirm the violin prck worth!

OVERALL OPINION

Well I think the price is quite tonant all ... for just over 200 euros was a guitar with a violin to sound quality with enough bones. The was a real guitar not a toy (but I am not making fun of stagg ...) I think cete is perfect beginner guitar I bought a year ago on the advice of a friend and I did not regret when I do not see meileure first small guitar while beginners will y! !!!!!!

Made-in china in my case

See below for other specifications.

UTILIZATION

It's an Ibanez, so it has a rather thin neck, not to be as worthy of an RG. Moreover, the handle is probably one of the greatest qualities of this guitar, ideal for beginners, although fine and just wide enough. The frets are not too big and not unduly n'acrochent, allowing a comfortable playing. Access to acute rather well, even if a large bead at the junction sleeve body makes the game less comfortable in the last frets.

Another, vibrato (which is not a floyd for that matter) is totally unusable. A quick and presto, you are granted a quarter tone above, it is pure torture for the ears. Your best bet is to store the bar and give up its delusions of screaming bomb. Or even totally block the bridge, it is beneficial

SOUNDS

There, it thickens. Frankly, this guitar has no sound and his personality is of course extreme, but hey I am very severe, the price is quite normal, nor is the quality of a Les Paul, or its price (or an Ibanez SV is). The microphone is most interesting is probably the humbucker, which is slightly less flat than the others. But we must say that I only use very rarely singles coils, as the buzz they generate is unbearable (that due to poor shielding fillage and a guitar of this price ca not worth the trouble do it again, or do it yourself (. As soon as I push a little tone, it still buzzes. So in the end, I have come to use only one setting and to play the sound only from my amp, a big Marshall still waiting for a good guitar sound to match his talent. So, in searching, you come to find something usable. And for the vibrato, both drop immediately.

OVERALL OPINION

It's really a great beginner guitar or very low price. Its two big advantages: it is not expensive and it's still a guitar. Otherwise, welcome the agreeableness of the handle, very good quality for the price, it's really his biggest quality.

My first electric guitar, which I now for two and a half years (and I'm about to change by the end of the year):

- A handle 22 boxes
- A micro double and two singles
- Vibrato
- A volume knob and one tone

In the following opinion I will oppose my views on the guitar in the hands of a beginner with the one I have now: Changing guitar is becoming increasingly urgent, because all his faults are being felt more and more with the level!

Otherwise the quality of wood I put a 2 / 10. This is a guitar that can go very quickly into pieces even if one takes care of:
- The metal ring in one of two wedge-rope on his head was too little, suddenly the rope vibrated, problem solved by adding a small washer for caller.
- People, by dint of pulling the plug is pulled the jack on the guitar, the wood was completely eaten problem half solved with wood glue
- The worst problem (appeared after a year and a half), the guitar is fast désacorde alone; My technique for the grant now is to make a bend on each string and recheck it does désacordée not, and that as the tuning is not good but I have a nasty surprise in the middle game a rope désacorde hugely (it must come from the mechanical).
- Last, the microphones: they suck, they suck ... With the distortion, there will always be an old nasty breath, but ... for a beginner is not so annoying in fact <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_confused.gif" alt="" />

The guitar still in mouth, a strat-style painted well, and a pointed head! (The clothes do not make the man ...)


UTILIZATION

The neck is fairly easy to ride for a beginner, even now I do not much reproaches him, it&#39;s just that I prefer the handle slightly round of Squier Affinity at the melody and solos.
! Warning! It&#39;s a guitar factory quickly packed, two months after buying it I realized (through a friend) that the shaft was slightly bent, and a luthier fixed it quickly made me well. Take advantage also to settle your easel by a luthier, it will avoid the strings that vibrate
Level shape, weight, it is correct. Access to the treble is fairly straightforward, cons sound (the last fret) is rotten, there&#39;s no other word (if there &#39;s finally moldy, terrible, ... it makes sense), but the beginner does not descend to treble anyway, and having tested other basic guitar squier affinity as I can tell you it&#39;s the same thing.

As for vibrato, it can quickly be interesting, but when one perceives with two Tremolo guitar is already désacordées, it is used more.


SOUNDS

That guitar is versatile in styles, in the sense that no one&#39;s best in style than in another. Let&#39;s say at the beginning when we start scratching it is made into agreements clean (clean on the humbucker is correct), or power chord with distortion ... But when we progress, we want to both play notes and chords, and even solo with the same settings, you will find the right gallery, is the setting Petera ears on the agreements but the notes will be beautiful or agreements shall be flat or ... And I said not even the massacre when there is too much distortion!
The first problem is the microphones: they are rotten, with an old wind in the background, but hey if we wanted to put the money to change it easily arrive at the price of the guitar (150 €) With distortion of breath &#39;s really meant a lot, he is also emphasized on the other end as the flange, or phaser.
Second problem: From the 15th box, the notes sound more real. You can put Clapton on the guitar and say &#39;go solo tone is between the 12th and 22th, "and there you will understand that the guitar really sound m * rde when you hear (it played well but less well to listen), I exaggerate, but having played on a guitar to 300 € for 20 minutes made me realize that my guitar slowed my progress. (I&#39;m not even talking about the joy I had on the telecaster to 800 €).

I try not to say that the guitar has no sound, but after a year of playing you will start to say "Phew what a rotten," and then after two years you start to get tired . But good 200 € the amp (which I quickly changed) + guitar + accessories, so that it lasts 3 years, it remains correct.



OVERALL OPINION

In conclusion, it is a very good guitar for a beginner, but I think that before buying you should try ... the problem is that you ca not try if we ever made guitar, but you can ask a friend to help us choose, playing tricks in store for beginners. This guitar is really contrast with the Squier Affinity, see Yahama.
Buy this guitar is a good choice, I had my little way above, until I reached its limits (soon I&#39;m gonna break soon ^ ^).
We&#39;ll say it&#39;s good value for money. <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />
In fact I am told, the beginner will not buy a guitar to 500 €, but it could put 300 € instead of 200 €, but in the end he will want to change it to 300 € in a few years. It may be quite this option, you put € 200 and it has everything, then when we reached a level that would merit a good guitar you pass the course!

The most positive of the guitar: A handle with good grip, access to all frets
The downside: The sound ... <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt="sad" />
