Made in Indonesia. Fixed bridge everything from classic, and it's just fine. Volume adjustment, tone adjustment and a 3 position switch. Very traditional too. The handle is screwed, very pleasant, neither too large nor too late. Like all 7-string (I tried anyway ...), it seems that it tends to "bite the neck", but nothing too serious and much less than many other guitars more expensive than I was fortunate to have in his hands. For a 7-string, it is rather "compact" and is easily in a bag 6 string classical (that is rare enough to be reported).

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, it was soon in hand (what fender ...). Access to acute is not difficult but there are only 22 frets ... The weight and ergonomics are quite acceptable, moyennne. I was pleasantly surprised her. I was expecting something "just" and it is well above his expectations for a guitar "made in indonesia" ... except for the 7th string (most serious), given at home in LA and I think sound a bit less accurate than others. But this may be a problem of pulling ... In short, in any event a pleasant surprise.

SOUNDS

I play metal, so thoroughly saturated, and it works well. For example, I have a Jackson Dinky D7 with Seymour Duncan and the result (the Squier ...) is just not as good in distortion, and even better in clean. I use a Rocktron Piranha and a Digitech Valve Fx, all on one PA Marshall 9000 series tube. The range of sounds is complete with a small problem for the chord of the grave (but I chipotte ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year. What I like most: space, ergonomics, simplicity. What I like least: its looks (I'm not very strat ...) I played with 7-string Ibanez and Jackson and is just a hair below, and again, changing the micro (the I will do when I have a few tunes, o)), I think she could compete with the much more expensive guitar yet.
Last little note: the mechanical. As soon as I got it in hand, I was a little confused by the mechanics as they respond really well, with great precision, so much so it took me a few days to get used to it.
