    Everything said about adj t CHARACTERISTICS.
    It's a Stratocaster-type guitar, HSS configuration with a pitch of 645mm long enough.
    CHARACTERISTICS therefore quite versatile.
    5-way switch, mechanical and low-end floating tremolo, no blocking of strings.
    You can not see if the body is in bits stuck moult, but the wood of the handle (with reinforcement plate screwed mtallique) is very well.
    The lacquer is trs good quality it is not easy to be a quail.
    For the price it is difficult to be more.

    UTILIZATION

    I find the handle very enjoyable, I have big hands.
    Even if it is not as fine as a Ibanez, the profile is neither round nor flat IDAL, and glides well polished.

    UTILIZATION

    I find the handle very enjoyable, I have big hands.
    Even if it is not as fine as a Ibanez, the profile is neither round nor flat IDAL, and glides well polished.
    Access in acute is average, the body is canker, but the assembly of the handle is thick and not profile.
    It is heavy but balance without a will result in a crazy sustain (shame).

    Its default:
    - No rglage factory: the vibrato and the pickups are not visss prs.
    On mine the string height (action) ranged from a 3 mm along the rope and place, the vibrato of silent throughout, and microphones in a roller coaster.
    But hey, everything is trial and error and APRS RULES (I'm not Luthier) I got a rsultat correct.
    Hsiter not support the back of vibrato on the table to stabilize it.
    The pots and jack Dessers quickly too.
    Ask your dealer to review (a is a regular 30min)
    - Yet it dsacorde quickly because there is no blockage of strings (even without using the vibrato)
    - The biggest is the default binding, it is not adjusted case by case, and therefore border on certain boxes. The do anything, the handle is straight, but can not really lower the action on pain of cooking pots. Should be adjusted by the frets enlvement of Contents, but I have not run my bones ...

    The TRS is bilant contrast: enjoyable to play, re-rglage quickly forgotten, but without the curls c'tait better ...

    SOUNDS

    Premire is my guitar, I play a Roland micro cube, or a lamp prampli headphone.
    The pickups are fairly cheap simple, double is doing not too bad, especially in the treble.
    The sound is pleasant plutt like "brilliant", without pushing too much gain.
    The average micro double distortion and high aprsrglage not sound bad, boys were at the cost of bte. Report this cot Q / P is good trs.
    The sound of the central trs flat, and the neck pickup only suffers from the hum.
    In short use I get sounds pretty good, but not as much versatility envisaged.
    After a few months I changed the strings for pulling harder.
    She cash trs good (3 springs in the vibrato) and the sound is more pchu.
    I think the MSM version deuxime Humbucker with the handle must be idalie.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for over a year now, I start my dbrouiller.
    I had not tried before a lot, and I wanted a guitar the least possible type and most flexible for beginners.
    Once Fully RULES trs is honorable for its price.
    Take the MSM version.
    J'changerais willingly floating tremolo useless against an adjustment of the frets.
    With a little more careful editing and a better fretting, she is the queen of the newbies.

    If c'tait again:
    - At 130 it is hard to beat.
    J'hsiterais with Ibanez GrG170 whose hoop looks better (I was afraid to get used to a handle end trs typ).
    In any case I have further n'achterais rgl correct action and the test cell by cell shrinking.
    - In fact I would put probably a little more money for an instrument with less compromise.
