UTILIZATION

The floyd is not easy to manage, especially since it is essential to raise the E string slightly serious frieze. If the handle is nice but nothing more, we note that it is quite large which makes it less obvious the barre chords but enhances game "pizzicato", so ideal for lengthy solos;)
Access to acute is done without any effort on contortion.
For me the vibrato is not bad, although I do not serve much.
The body of type "stratabound" makes it very pleasant to play both sitting and standing, and its weight is about right.

For sound is another story. The humbucker in bridge is correct, it provides much in the bass (too much perhaps) and the mediumx. The microphone is simply a nickel for his own clean, but no real personality and, again, the humbucker handle does nothing but sound a little muffled.

SOUNDS

I like to play everything and this guitar with the right amp settings can answer a lot of desires, though more oriented Rock and Metal.
The sounds that you get the best middles are beautiful crystalline solid harmonic, or a cold that his "slap" (two sounds that I prefer). When you spend the distortion, however, it is better to stay sober and not to seek a sound fat and crunch to avoid saturation of the microphones while for a heavier distortion and aggressive you will be served.

OVERALL OPINION

That's my only guitar, but I have tried other guitar and a mid-range has a very good price / quality ratio.
I think about to change the pickups for DiMarzio and finally have the sound I expect, because I'm used to the violin.

I think with the experience I picked up a guitar in its class (but with other pickups).
