- In What Country was it made?
Japan
- How many frets, Pickup Type and Configuration?21 Fret, Dual-Coil Humbucker @ Neck & Bridge
- What type of Bridge(Floyd, Wilkinson...)?
Fixed Bridge
- What are the setting controls (volume, tone, pickup selector position)?Independant Pick-Up volume controls, Master Tone Control, 3-Way Selector Switch
- What type of neck?...Maple w.Rosewood Fretboard
UTILIZATION
- Does the neck have a nice feel?Solid feel, no snags or roughness, narrow enough for smaller hands
- Easy access to the top notes (last frets)?Somewhat strained, cut-outs not quite deep enough but manageable
- Is it's design ergonomic(in terms of the shape, weight...)?
Heavier than most 'Strat'-styles, but easily stays on your lap. Shape is contoured so that knobs & selector switch don't get knocked.
- Can one easily get a nice sound?...
One of the nicest "affordable off the rack" guitars seen lately. Good tone, pick-up response is good, no electric buzzing, action is medium with no fret-buzz even at the top frets, intonation was almost perfect.
SOUNDS
- Does it suit your style of music?
Should easily suit most needs
- With what amp(s) or effect(s) do you use it?
100watt Crate amp with Zoom effects box
- What kind of sounds do you get and with what settings(clean, distorted,...)?
No out of the ordinary sounds, strings ring clear with nice sustain in clean or distortion
- What are your favorite sounds and/or least favorite?
I prefer both Clean and Distortion with Chorus, Reverb, Delay
OVERALL OPINION
- For how long have you been using it?
Purchased the other day, can't put it down!
- What thing do you like most/least about it?
I actually prefer the extra weight as it won't wander in your lap or sway too much with a strap. There is very little I don't like about the guitar.
- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Tried lots of models within $200-350 range. Close second to this one would be a Godin.
- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Excellent value for your buck.
- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Definitely
