Made in: indonesia (mean making by Indonesian ...
Tune O Matic Chevale (ring the morning ... What's not funny? Ok)
Channel Colle, fine enough for a telecaster, but not mini either ... Let's say medium ^ ^
2 microphones with Seymour Duncan P90.
2 volume, 2 tone (quite ugly in fact I've changed (finally) now it's a wonder)
A 3-position selector.
I'm already happy with this time of testing, because I wanted a guitar with a good finish with P90 with a set neck (yes sometimes we ben in the whims ...) So I hesitated with a Gibson Jr. (twice the price) For the story I tested (the Gibson) for several hours on different small tube amp (I took the AC4TV passage ^ ^) It sounded not ... But really bad ... I do not know if it's me ... m'enfin brief ... Pssons following

UTILIZATION

The handle:
I have a Greg Bennett FB3 changed the neck is fine (I tested a gibson les paul 80s I think that had the same kind of handle) So it seemed to me more difficult to access at first . on the other hand access to treble, nikel! (I have big hands ...) I still feel it's not a shred stick, my hands are bent on making the big blues rock on this round ...
Weight:
Compared to my FB3, it must weigh half as much! Really nice to note that it is more enjoyable to play than sitting upright.
Sound:
I wanted a big vintage sound, it is not so vintage it, but something is going on is that play in my favorite bar I always hear my guitar howling. The sound is class, now go test it should not be big metalheads ...

SOUNDS

Pop, rock, blues, blues rock, rock, rock pissed at ease ...
The P90, ahhh I dreamed of making big sounds to the Black Keys, ... I did ... And I also play many air since haha.
I played on the cube for a while and the bar on a mix amp lamps / transistors (in view of the nose) Good with a high output gain I think. Since I'm on Vox ACTV8 with a blues driver or Fuzz ridden by a friend ... I'm still hard (I'm young, do not be jealous)
Even the light is nice ^ ^
Now with this config, it should be clear that I not play 10 000 styles either, but I opted for a good config in my style rather than an average high school.

Otherwise I have translucent black ... For those reluctant to take a guitar, you really go see it and test it ... It's something especially for the price ..

The settings are nice and the knobs respond well

OVERALL OPINION

I have since I've seen on the Internet within 6 months now, I had plenty of time to test it. A very good guitar, especially for its price.
I had a lot of guitar before, especially crusts I knew what I was looking for and I fell in love.
... Again: she is beautiful!
... Again: my god that knobs are ugly!

Value for money: unbeatable in its class (I found it at 500 € ... In Angletterre)
I would do this choice, I hesitated with a Gibson Les Paul Jr. I was disappointed in the test. (Price does not seem justified (almost 1000 € difference between the 2 ...))

I put 9, it meets all expectations of what kind of guitar ... Ah yes ... Who's Jim Adkins?
