    - In what country was it made? China

    - How many frets, what kind of pickups and what's the pickups configuration? 22 frets, 3 single-coil pickups

    - Controls (volume, tone, pickup selector...): 5-way toggle switch, 1 volume and 2 tone controls

    UTILIZATION

    - Does the neck feel pleasant?

    Very pleasant neck, the string action is set very low by default. So you can easily play almost anything.

    - Are the upper frets readily accessible?

    Yes

    Very pleasant neck, the string action is set very low by default. So you can easily play almost anything.

    - Are the upper frets readily accessible?

    Yes

    - Is the instrument ergonomic (body shaping, weight...)?

    Strat-like shape. Not too heavy, good balance.

    - Is it easy to get the right sound?

    I play with a small 15-watt Marshall amp. Very good clean sound. It becomes a bit muddy with heavy distortion. But that may be due to my amp.

    SOUNDS

    - Do they fit your music style?

    I like heavy metal (Metallica, Dream Theater, ...). The guitar is a bit limited for this music style. But it is perfect for punk rock and crunch sounds.

    - Which amp(s) or effect(s) do you use with it?

    15-watt Marshall

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you been using it?

    One year.

    - Which feature do you like the most / the least?

    ++ Clean sound, easy settings, pleasant neck

    -- Muddy and inaccurate heavy distortion sound

    - Did you try any other models before buying it?

    It was a present so no, I didn't test other instruments before.

    - Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?

    Perhaps... I learned a lot with this guitar and it is easy to play with. But I would rather have humbucker pickups because they suit my music style much better.
