    1 3 selector knobs
    21 fret maple key screwed with vibrato bridge

    UTILIZATION

    This is the most pleasant handle all guitars (15 in total all set yet)
    This is its main feature

    SOUNDS

    the neck pickup is replaced by a humbucker home
    The sound is fat a wish

    OVERALL OPINION

    It is so nice that I easily forget all other except for the parade or concert I use 25 times more expensive guitars

    3 pickups, 2 volume and 1 tone knob, micro switch positions 5, 22 frets ... mine has to come from Tasmania and Adélie Land to sound like that.
    euuuuh! how to say it .... ugly and poorly made!

    UTILIZATION

    Channel horrible and unplayable, not something out of this gear
    Classical form and not particularly ugly or stupid: imitation fender (well. .. euuuh). I put in a ca, given the rest of the beast, they could do worse ...

    SOUNDS

    I think she is versatile in its kind with any effect, amp for any style of music, the result is crap.
    Ideal for those who like to play false.

    OVERALL OPINION

    First skyscraper electric ... voila! You're young, you think it's good and then we regret ... Mine is false since the purchase ... The guy who designed it was no good glasses

    Most:
    On OCCAZ, I think it's possible to have it for € 20 or in exchange for a jack or a book of subway ticket

    The -:
    Everything else.

    Just a sharp criticism completely subjective and some free (but my opinion is shared my impression) to render certain that you do like me even though in general it is not too novice specialists in hardware (or the masochists?) who are customers of Jim Harley, and I'm not sure whether the main readers of such advice. Too bad!
    Tip: DO NOT USE!

    Start imitation made in China, 22 frets, 3 single coil pickups, vibrato. Controls: 1 volume and 2 tone, 5-way switch.
    Fingerboard: Rosewood
    Neck: Maple
    Body: Alder

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is quite enjoyable handling, although I think it frieze too (I did not yet test all settings), access to the latest box is not difficult.
    The finish is on the whole damn well, even if the mcaniques and vibrato (not that I use) are frankly not terrible
    The shape of the stratum is still going to play standing or sitting, and the weight of the guitar (rather light) can not break your back.

    SOUNDS

    I play quite different styles zik, (Red Hot Nofx, through Oasis and many others ....) and I think frankly that this is more scratch east for clean sounds, or get (with a marshall amp transistor) sound quite right. on the other hand regarding saturated sounds is more difficult, even if the amp is not perfect from this point of view, I find that even when the sound is too metal (no pun intended: p )

    OVERALL OPINION

    In conclusion, I would just say that I find the comments already this Article Submitted too severe, even if I do not have much experience in the university of scratches, even when I rebel.
    It is clear that this guitar is far from exeptionnelle, but personally I got 145 (in left-handed model!) And that for that price I am not dcu! It is true that compared to a "Gibson" (to use the comparison made somebody I do not know o. ..) It has to laugh, but it's not good for the same budget, so I think we should compare what is comparable.

    Apart from its saturated vibrato and some a little ugly, this guitar is pretty good, with a ratio of price and quality finish correct.

    Bolt-on maple neck with maple key (or maple), which is not very well malheuresemnt consular I wanted to do (SCALOP of the key) but very enjoyable to play (much better than rosewood)

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is it nice?
    is not too bad quality, the finish is not bad (fret that does not scratch, no defect veris) only problem with the maple neck is the key (or maple), which is indeed, super comfortable, but misapplied Extremely (the layer is 0.5mm at the start of the race to finish a 5mm) ... balo SCALOP for the key that was my first goal with this guitar ...)

    Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
    as a stratovolcano, 21th frete accessible but more hardu make a bend on the 21th frete

    Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
    light enough (compared to my Ibanez), form home well enough to copy the fender (same cut, same pan for comfort)

    Do you get a good sound easy? ...
    Me, I found the original microphone mediocre early ===> I redid the electronics (wiring is the head Toin Toin) ramplacent in just the neck pickup of an old ibanez and the sound other micro became clear, slamming, and brilliant (better than my ibanez emg (clean sound))

    SOUNDS

    Are they suitable for your style of music?
    euuuhh ...

    With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
    Peavy ValveKing with grain was pushed back and a ds-1 for the hendrix is ​​terrible
    otherwise a zoom g2 pedal is good for the chorus delay ...

    What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
    any type of sound (quite versatile, although the metal goes better on my Ibanez)

    What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
    natural gain amplifier with a background (sometimes + ds-1) and that's it

    OVERALL OPINION

    For how long have you been using it?
    a week (bought used a leading cash for 40 €)

    What thing do you like most/least about it?
    the maple neck

    Did you try many other models before getting this one?
    well have fun aprem far corner of the stock music so I would say, yes (the display is passed)

    What is your opinion about the value for the price?
    exellent after small changes is that I did (and electronic control / microphone)

    Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

    fully for the price and the pleasure it brings
