Value For Money : Excellent
Guitar made to my knowledge in Indonesia.
22 frets, two humbucker and a single microphone.
5-way switch, adjustable tone and volume.
The neck is maple, screwed, the key is also maple.
Alder body. Presence of a vibrato.

UTILIZATION

The handle is comfortable to play, maple is smoother and softer than rosewood for example. Aesthetic level is pretty but it's a matter of taste.
It is not too wide or thick so it was a pretty cool playing comfort.

Access is fairly easy to acute (form requires stratocaster).
The guitar is not too heavy, although it arises on the thigh when playing seated.
Standing for the game I have not tested. The shape is classic is that of a stratum.

I mostly use the neck pickup and bridge pickup (humbucker). The sound of the neck pickup is not bad at all for blues solos, clean sounds, accompaniments, possibly with a little crunch, reverb or chorus. You can get a snapping sound to be very smooth and soft ... we can afford many things.

The bridge pickup can take his first steps into the world of the distortion is enough to play classic heavy metal, hard rock, punk, metal ... Now we must admit that this guitar is a cheap quality microphone that is correct but do not expect great precision.

Overall you should see your account if you're new, or if you have a limited budget is a very versatile configuration.

SOUNDS

The guitar is best suited to blues, rock, reggae, it is quite versatile.
She can play some metal or trash etc ... but I would say it is not specifically to do that.

I tested it with a Vox Valvetronix it sounded very good with a pocket pod as well.
The crunch is clear and nickel. The distortion is acceptable but not great strength focement should consider changing the neck pickup if you want more quality.

We just get crystal clear sound on the neck pickup, or a good crunch ... enough to play pop, rock, reggae and blues / jazz. The distortion goes well with a good set, but again this is not the specialty of this configuration.

Overall again a versatile guitar with a very positive point for clean sounds and crunchy ... a small point improvement for large distos why not with a change in the humbucker ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year.
I like the shape Stratocaster, the neck and maple fingerboard, the presence of simple and humbucker pickups.

I like less vibrato that is not necessarily terrible, and the settings in the bridge that are not of high quality.

I tried many guitars in the same price range (Lag, ibanez, epiphone, squier) and that is my favorite. For me the best value for a beginner (e) or someone looking for a nice guitar without breaking the bank.

Again excellent value for money, changing the humbucker and adding a bone nut ... it could do serious.

Experience with this choice I would do without hesitation, I made the rounds of forums, sites, everyone can just recommend it to forge a style at their own pace and do what is waiting to have a guitar
