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" />
