UTILIZATION

A guitar is easy to use. A little heavy, but not if we play three hours standing on it going. In addition it is properly balanced.
Comfortable, easy access to more acute.
The swicth provides a good sound easily. Setting the tone is somewhat limited.
The holding of the agreement is moderate, especially when played with vibrato.

SOUNDS

I play a little bit of all, metal, rock, blues and some jazz.
The range of sounds is limited but we found a sound good enough to have fun.
The amp used is a VT120 + vox. Admittedly, it does help to offset the shortcomings of the guitar. I had the opportunity to play longer on a small peavey rage 12 Watt and it sounded the same.
However I find this too easy serious and unpleasant.

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year. For all that I have been told when my old guitar is dead. It would not have had my first choice, but I must admit it is quite effective. It lacks many of personalities and sound qualities, it's still easy to use. Perfect for a beginner on a budget confirmed.
I would not make that choice, but only because my next guitar will be more to the Euro 1500 and it allowed me to sit my choice.
