- Guitar made in Korea (in fact built in China and assemble finished in Korea).
- Mahogany body and maple neck bolted
- Vibrato wilkinson
- 1 Micro Kent Armstrong "Motherbucker" double stack with a stack for each volume, 1 tone, 3 position switch and split each stack.

UTILIZATION

What surprises with this guitar is the thickness and the hit "fat" of satin varnish. Without being disagreeable, that gum a little sensation. We feel that they were free with the gun.
Access to acute is pretty good for a handle screwed to the lack of a cutting plate and the heel rather successful. profiling of the rounded table allows a comfortable, especially since the guitar is pretty light.
Question her, you end up with one of the most advanced micro-market and a gaggle of settings: quad coil (or rather two microphones hotrail assembled format type humbucker), each stack can be used separately or together and splitter each stack, or 8 possible combinations. For a single mic, not bad.
In use, the only config useful are:
- The stack serious split in its clear or not
- The stack acute saturation
- The two stacks in saturation
The rest is in my opinion not usable.

SOUNDS

Well, no need to procrastinate, this guitar is made for heavy metal graouh as funk and pop sweetness. However the handle rather well rounded go to big but not too riffeurs to Schumacher's solo supersonic.
We climb the 11-52, there is agreement in D, plug the marshall tube and there is no bin in surprise. Like all microphones in Asia, the motherbucker is quite powerful but with a grain too neutral and a lack of precision. Ca severe drooling. Confirming that this guitar is made for rhythm and for solos. Then we feel that the varnish is too thick choking wood in these attacks as in sustain.
Finally a guitar a little too impersonal.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 1 year. She serves as troubleshooting.
But a few months ago I broke down. I started by replacing the microphone with a Di Marzio Tone Zone. That's it, I accuracy and a tad of character. But it's not that.
Since I sanded the neck and the back and sides of the body (you still keep the screen). The finding was worse than thought, a good varnish mm over a huge fondur. I just kept a little on the handle fondur polishing and I put the bare wood on the body with four thin layers of cellulose black.
That's it! I have all wood vibrations, harmonics and sustain devastating forget that the handle screw. In addition to the mixture mahogany body and maple neck gives a savage inttendue and welcome.
In conclusion, a good violin marred by an excessive plastification at the opening, as too often. So unless a furious sanding and refinishing stateless souls, do that. There are plenty of guitars that sound as good for less.
