UTILIZATION
In terms of use, the grip of this guitar is the most comfortable, simple and intuitive. The neck, very thin, is really nice, a highway! access to acute is super easy, the guitar is extremely light, nothing to say on that side. In contrast, a single knob (switchable, allowing, sensibly, to obtain a more "acoustic", this function do not like me passing not convinced, because, apart from a decrease in gain, I have not noticed significant change), I find it very limited, because you can not play the tones, I who am a manic sound and settings. Also, I'm not a fan of Pink Floyd, too much hassle to adjust when changing strings (which happens frequently anyway). Also note the presence of a blocking nut strings to avoid detuning the guitar for the use of vibrato;
SOUNDS
Sound level, I find it more versatile than you might think at first (hard rock guitar): clean sounds are very pleasing to the ear, accurate in all keys (with a big pulling strings, otherwise weaklings rather low for my taste) with distortion, it is even more to his advantage with a sound that is sharp and bold (with neck pickup). However, the bridge pickup (Bill Lawrence) me greatly disappointed a bit garish, lack of response .. I ended the exchange by a Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck model that has more to my expectations (the precise and warm with a better answer). However, the weak point of this guitar, corollary of its low weight and fineness, as well as limited as its settings reduced to a single knob, is the lack of sustain and fishing! When I had then my gibson les paul studio and a SG (already much less punchy than the les paul), this caught my eye since, playing successively on each of these guitars, I had increase the volume of the amp at least cran1 1 / 2, 2 notches for the same power (the amp in question was then a Marshall Valvestate 100) with N2.
OVERALL OPINION
I used this guitar for 5-6yrs (until j'acquiert my les paul studio actually), although I have sold in 2004 (so that I got it from hands from 1995 to 2004). It was my first guitar, which was a blessing because, due to its comfort, its limited settings (ie, its easy to find because no 50000 possibilities), it is ideal for beginners, especially that it was perfect for my style of the time (blues / hard rock). However, once I had the heaviest (gibson les paul studio and sg standard), it no longer makes the weight limitations emerging more Jewelry face two afore-mentioned. That said, the price / quality ratio, comfort and versatility make it much more than low-end guitar. It is mid-range, and I would strongly advise it for beginners or those who can not afford to invest in heavier.
