UTILIZATION

Handle quite thick but very comfortable associated with its radius 7.25 if you like playing with your thumb over the low E for hooping. Happiness for riffs and punchy phrases. Access to acute is not great, especially since the action is not super low on this type of guitar.
I had problems with friezes after 3 months back Fender made me a better adjustment to the level of the action .... but even more friezes on the ropes and half .... Heureusment, problem solved by putting a tad of the bridge these two strings ... and suddenly the action takes a hit!
For a guitar of this price, it's just outrageous. I also think that there is no left Fender, suddenly settings must be made guitars left over leg (left)
Sinoin as noted by all the owners, nail glue the handle in the first months ...

SOUNDS

THE real plus of this guitar is the SOUND. nothing to do with the Squier classic vibes (I have one) or with MIM Tele or american standard (I've tried before cracking for 52). It's hot, it's alive, it sounds anything!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in June 2013, I tried Les paul (my intial wish) that did not sound and MIM telecaster or amreican standard, also as AV 64 reissue with its rosewood fingerboard that kills all the slamming of a maple key.

The BIG drawback is the fragility of the nail, which Pete plates slightest shock or friction (even the friction of the belt). It is still not normal at this price.
So except for the sound and the comfort of the handle else is unworthy of a guitar of this price!
