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.
Finish is an entry-level (simple points pearlescent on the handle, etc. ...) but quality, the varnish is good.
UTILIZATION
The neck is fast and even more when we have to make some settings (string height). Highs are playable, nothing more. The overall balance is very good, the game is comfortable standing because the body is relatively light. The body is thin enough and the chamfer at the right forearm makes things more enjoyable. The form stratabound flate the eye at first but quickly becomes too classic for my taste, everything is still caught by a sober flawless, black suits him well: p.
The use of simple knobs, volume and tone can quickly explore the capabilities of the machine, but I develop this in the next section.
A fault that I must point out, on my guitar, the back plate is perforated to allow the strings to pass without having to remove the plaque. Unfortunately, the holes of the plate are not aligned with those of the vibrato! Therefore, unless you tinker a little, remove the plate every time.
Last thing, the mechanics are fickle sometimes.
SOUNDS
With this guitar, you can play everything. The resulting sounds are not necessarily of great quality, but they are indeed the. Blues, rock, heavy rock / metal anything goes, but reinforcement of good pedals (and receiver) all the same (I play on Marshall and Boss MD-2, nothing to hope with a little amp and a Zoom Jim Harley).
Extreme positions and stick easel give good sounds in general and this is actually the best game on the 2 pickups of this guitar, both doubles. They can either play the blues very warm and round rocks either angry or extreme.
The positions with the microphone just are noisy (the middle position and 2 intermediate), but a small shielding inside the guitar should fix this problem.
The sustain is not great, unless you completely block the tremolo. Sometimes there is really an outright collapse of the note.
Also, I'm not really managed to get a crunch worthy of the name.
I put all the same good average without hesitating, because for the price this guitar is in the stomach and provides a broad spectrum of sounds.
OVERALL OPINION
I started with this guitar, it has been 2 ½ years and I do not hide that it is high time for something more serious. This guitar is a good choice for the beginner due to its versatility (and price!), But when one begins to find his style, we want to spend any more personal.
I think this guitar provided a living wage to any beginner, and that is what we are asking him to be less a guitar burst onto scene.
