- Made in Asia

- 22 frets, two single-coil pickups and one humbucker

- XD (I don't know)

- Volume and tone knobs

- Slim neck

UTILIZATION

- The neck is perfectly shaped and I strongly recommend it to people with small hands because it's very slim

- Good access to the upper frets

- The guitar is very ergonomic and easy to play sitting down. It's very light (but I'm a boxer so everything seems light to me... and then I break everything XD)

- Great sound. I use mainly the single-coil pickups: the sound is very good and versatile. I can play Rammstein or Noir Desir and a friend of mine even plays reggae with it. I use a distortion pedal and the clean channel of my amp. It sounds great.

SOUNDS

- From rock to heavy metal and reggae, the guitar is very versatile. If you want to play death metal, choose another guitar.

- I play it with a 15 watt Yamaha amp and a FAB distortion pedal. The sound is perfect. I use the distortion of the pedal and the clean channel of the amp.

- The guitar sounds aggressive with strong highs when distorted (perfect for industrial metal) and its clean sound is smooth and articulated (wonderful for "Nothing else matters").

- I like smooth clean sounds and aggressive distortion sounds. I hate it when the clean sound is too aggressive and the distortion sound too fat and round. And this guitar perfectly matches my taste.

OVERALL OPINION

- Three weeks ago

- Pros: versatility, sound... Almost everything except its look, which is too basic

- I tested a Les Paul, a Cort and an ESP. This guitar didn't disappointed me because it's the most versatile one.

- Perfect value for money: I bought a pack that included the guitar, an amp, a cable, a gig bag, a guitar strap, a tuner, two string sets, three picks and care accessories... Everything from Yamaha!

- I won't hesitate to buy it again if mine gets broken.
