UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable when trs rgl which is not the case at home!
Access in acute natural enough.
The guitar is trslgre, so much so that some gns by such maneuverability.
The form is fairly standard but trs well with a nice finish.
For cons, I spent hours and hours SETTING THE vibrato, chord height, tension, neck, etc. before getting her a drink.
A nightmare.
The factory rglages taient abominable (strings that border, etc.). And I deprecated this guitar beginners all,) not less than the take to be a luthier Ches RULES.
The vibrato is also trs poor quality, less down the bridge to fully use it only to lower the note.

SOUNDS

So this guitar is more oriented pop-rock, alternative rock, even mtal (but opt ​​for the SAS 32 FM with 2 humbuckers).
Sr what is it that the original pickups are almost dtestables, both at the neck humbucker (my Yamaha EG 112 150 has a better handle her!).
Only the micro middle might be kept ...
I mainly play with a Rat 2, a Fuzz Factory, a Phase 90, an Echo Park, a Cry Baby and a Whammy.
My amp is a H & K edition Blue 60.
I get beautiful clean tones with the micro environment, close to a folk guitar even!
But let the other microphones in DSIR clean, even the neck pickup, gnralement most slamming on guitar like this, which is soft desire ...
With the Rat, the sounds are quite aggressive on the humbucker, but they quickly reach their limits.
But I really like the grain that gives the simple micro environment, once again, even in saturated mode, a usable overdrive trs.
With the Fuzz, no need to dwell, it's awful, is drooling everywhere, regardless of the microphone.
I will hasten to acqurir a Seymour Duncan SH-5, I Espree, remdier this.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months, at least 1 hour a day.
I prfre from the SAS 32 FM silent because it red ... lol
But I really do not regret that choice because of its range obtained thanks to microphones in the middle is apprciable.
I dtest the bridge that the strings dsacorde trs quickly if surlev.
I also possde a Fender Deluxe 72 Reissue that has nothing to do but who ultimately has much more characters.
At this price and given the ordinary matrial (wooden bridge) and rglage dgueulasse factory, they could have put Duncan pickups of origin, as they do with Schecter for MODELS the same price!
I prfr a Schecter, but it's a mess to get these guitars because there are few retailers ...
