. Agathis body
. Bolt maple / rosewood fingerboard 22 frets, C-Shape
. Vibrato standard Synchronous
. 3 Alnico pickups simple
. Mechanical oil bath
. Chrome hardware
. Colours: Walnut Satin, made in China in 2003/2004 for mine.
The rest is known: a 5-way switch, 1 volume knob and 2 tone knobs.

I must say that the finish is really bleuffante for that price ... The materials used are good, the frets and the neck fitting.

UTILIZATION

The highlight of this guitar is its playability!

The neck is super nice. All settings of the guitar are very easy to perform: run, vibrato, string action, harmonic and microphones. This is very important to me because it gives a guitar perfectly suited to his game and his style of music.

In short, a real treat!

SOUNDS

I play blues / rock / pop, so it is perfect for that. In addition, it is quite versatile.

I play on a Marshall MG amp 15CDR and the result is very good. I think soon add effects to expand the possibilities.

Specific sounds are good Fender style. You do not buy this guitar for metal anyway.

The pickups are okay. On this type of guitar is the weak point (as all guitars of this price range for that matter).

OVERALL OPINION

I repeat, we must consider this guitar with respect to its price (320 € in France and € 230 elsewhere ...).
And for once, the quality / price / pleasure is excellent!
I really recommend you, it takes a lot of fun with.

But on this guitar is not for seasoned pros (not the first guitar at least!), But rather demanding for beginners, casual players or those who do not want (can) not to put € 1 200 Fender American Deluxe one worthy of the name.
