Value For Money : Excellent
To summarize:

Guitar manufactured in Asia.
22 frets, pickups basic configuration MSM.
Classical vibrato bridge (Fender type) to block preferably.
1 master volume, 1 tone generally a 5-way switching.
Bolt, thin enough, maybe too much for big hands.

UTILIZATION

The neck is very thin and fast. Enjoyable to play.

The interface is efficient, no surprises. This is not upscale, but has for its money by finding the usual rigors of the mark.

Access to acute is easy (as HC).

Regarding the sound, this guitar has the defects of a versatile instrument. The sound is not too distinctive. Again, that is to link with the price. It is a good tool to start and get an idea of ​​what we look later in another instrument.

SOUNDS

I play a lot of things, so the versatility of this guitar suits me. The neck pickup gives great sounds good and saturated fat. You can use the bridge pickup sounds to have more crystalline. The single microphone in the center allows for lighter sounds, light or sound.

Since learning is my guitar, I also took amps versatile: the Micro Cube and cube 20x (a treat in sounds "clean").

Negatives: the game in the vibrato, even if the agreement is good and the lack of sustain (again, considering the price ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months, I tested three or four models before buying.

Pros:
- Versatility
- Solid construction (except the switch, replace)
- Sounds "fat"
- Ergonomics

Cons:
- Vibrato (which I am now in the left hand)
- Sustain a little weak

I do it again this election if I still need a versatile guitar. It's good to learn and progress, but by containing in particular styles, we seek a more distinctive.
