Made in Korea
24 frets, Seymour Duncan (SH5) custom and custom (SH1) '59 reissue, set neck, string through-
rosewood body and mahogany neck, maple table Spotted.
Mechanical groove system with a Buzz Feiten tuning fair.

UTILIZATION

Handle very pleasant one which suggests a mixed strat between the handle and the handle ibanez.
Very easy access to acute thanks to the form.
Guitar light enough no back pain after more than 3 hours of play up, it remains perfectly balanced position.
The knobs and switches are well placed rather it will not touch them without meaning to.
You just change the strings because they are provided as razors.

SOUNDS

The neck pickup comes a warm, round characteristic of SH1.
The highlight is probably the neck pickup is very vintage type with a pronounced grain resulting in distortion of the wonders.
I play on randall RG50TC, mainly rock, hard rock and metal.
The microphone is not very accurate but it suits me perfectly for what I know has played a good disto greasy with a grain that is similar to that of Mr Zakk Wylde.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months.
Bought 610 Euro in Pigalle.

I liked:
_ The strings that make through-gain sustain
_ The bridge pickup very vintage
_ The Easy adjustment with mechanical do not move a muscle.
_ The shape reminiscent of the Stratocaster but more aggressive.

I did not like:
_ The strings that come with.
_ The attitude of the seller (I had to negotiate too ^_^).
_ The neck pickup that sends too serious.

I would do probably the choice if I could because for that price I think it limit flight to compete ...
