-Made in Korea
-24 Frets, rosewood fingerboard, 2 humbuckers Lag
Strings-through body
Volume -1, a 3 position switch

Ample, the only negative is manufacturing Korean, but at the same time with this value for money ...

Careful there (like the earlier opinions) the old models of AK100, lag now emerged in this range with a single coil pickup in addition to two doubles and a 5-way switch. This is not the model that I will speak, but the old one.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, as in shred agreements.

Access to acute is relative, you do it, but you have to play this sitting position or with a guitar relatively high, we are not faced with a gibson sg!

The weight is a must for this guitar, it is lightweight! Amateur theatrical demonstrations like me (game behind the head and other ^ ^) this guitar will not cause you any problems.

The sound is easily obtained, and for good reason: volume up, and there's more to choose one of three positions of the selector (neck pickup / pickup / both)

SOUNDS

The neck pickup delivers a more jazz, and pretty ... serious (amazing is not it?:-p), while the bridge pickup is nickel for distos (although with this guitar all positions are suitable distortion, just as a matter of taste).

I personally use the intermediate position for all my clean sounds, I play a lot of funk and it's happening, although it is far not enough, there was not a strato either. Anyway the sound is nice, though not comparable with a configuration of single coils. As for distos, there's no hard to say this guitar, with its greasy and harmonics that look good, and there are all viable positions: pickup / both for a good heavy distortion, neck pickup for all distos heavy.

Be careful, it's still a guitar "entry level" (at least entry-level quality), it was not a stratovolcano or a gibson is a good guitar sound, but not enough after a certain level.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 3 / 4 years, although it is still a nickel or two small pets of the varnish.

The sounds are in this price range very comprehensive, it is one of best on the market at that level. If the characteristics are always the same with the microphone and more simple, it really adds to the versatility of this guitar, and there's no hesitation for a beginner or even an average player looking to buy a good guitar reasonable price.

With the experience I would do certainnement this choice unless my purse was higher, in which case I would go for a good or model strato US Arkane Master in lag (the version of the Made In France AK100, with wood and microphones far better ... and also a higher price ^ ^)
