Guitar made in Japan
21 frets
3 single-coil pickups
2 controls: tone and 5-way toggle switch

UTILIZATION

Very pleasant neck, the hand slides smoothly. I'm sorry but I don't now what wood it's made of.
The guitar is a bit heavy so you have to be young and strong to move freely with this guitar like a budding Jimi Hendrix. The guitar is ergonomic and you won't have any troubles getting to the upper frets.

SOUNDS

The sound allows you to play virtually any kind of music. Simply try the pickups combinations using the 5-way toggle switch. I like to play different music styles so it's the perfect guitar for me. If I win the national lottery I'll buy more guitars :D but this one is very satisfying as my main electric guitar.

Of course, some of you won't like that it has no humbucker. I personally love these single coils! With a good warm distortion effect you'll get a nice vintage screaming sound. The guitar has the typical Telecaster sound. The three pickups give you different possibilities but you'll still be able to recognize the Telecaster character with its typical twang.

This is only the modest opinion of a budding guitarist describing his second guitar. So I have an untrained ear.

OVERALL OPINION

This review is a bit peculiar. I posted it because I couldn't find information about my guitar anywhere.. So I decided to write this summary hoping other users with more knowledge and experience could help me find out more about my guitar.

I hope it does happen, and anyways I'm also glad I contributed to the existence of this guitar on this web site.

Thanks to all of you...
