Value For Money : Correct
In which country was it made? Korea
What type of bridge? Floyd
What kind of handle? Neck-three pieces, as in "u"
How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration? 24 jumbo frets, EMG 81 bridge pickup, neck pickup EMG 60
What are the settings? volume, tone, 3 way selector micro

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice? Yes
Ergonomics is good? Yes, I like guitars that weigh a bit and it's nice for a "strat"
Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy? Yes
Do you get a good sound easy? Yes but so few "living"

SOUNDS

Are they adequate for your style of music? No, I prefer the sounds fatter and less sharp
What types of sounds you get and with what settings? Rather crystalline, sharp and defined.
With what (s) amp (s) or effect (s) do you play? Peavey Valveking and Blackstar HT-DISTX
What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
Clean in the bridge pickup is so and so, in neck pickup is pretty nice for this type of guitar you buy but not so much as a scratch sounds for cleans.
In distortion, it is a great guitar for shredders and all Hammett, Vai, Satriani in herbs but for rhythm I find the sound "too clean".

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it? Less than a year
Did you tried many other models before buying it? Yes
What is so special that you love the most, least? The build quality is top, I like less personal form
How would you rate the quality / price? Correct, at its cost there are tons of guitar very well made (Jackson, Tokai, PRS)
With experience, you do again this choice? No, not because of the quality of the guitar, it just does not suit my game (or my game does not suit him ;-))
