<ul> WARNING: This guitar is made in Japan, NOT IN KOREA! ("Crafted in Japan" on the back of the heel)
Maple neck, rosewood fingerboard 22 frets. rather thin profile (standard I think).
2 micros simple: a standard tele bridge and 1 soapbar (type P90) to the handle.
Standard tele bridge (fixed rope through the body).
1 volume, 1 tone. </ul>

The guitar is as simple as possible, which is an advantage for me.
The finish is very good except for two small things: the type selector Les Paul crachotte and causes a buzz at the neck pickup (I'm not the only one who encountered this problem ...), so it must be replaced. In addition, the wiring was a bit sloppy: should contact and isolation of hazardous son.
Otherwise, it rolls nikel! It is a pleasure to watch!

UTILIZATION

The handle, as I said above must be the size of a standard tele handle ... fine enough but a bit difficult to control at the beginning ... He must learn to tame the beast!
Once used, the handle is very comfortable to play ... not addicted, and medium jumbo frets are there to ease things. on that side: RAS!

Same for access to acute, although the 22nd case is not out of control ... Enter Sandman can finish without problems;)

the guitar is light (probably because of the lime ...) and is therefore comfortable to play standing up (you can jump around like a madman !!!). The shape is not very exotic, since this is seen scratching for 50 years ... but this little makeover brings these new features (the Main ...).
At the sound, it smells good vieu dusty rock hehe! Of the clean pure distortion fully charged (or even the fuzz drooling) through the famous crunch lamp brings the twang of their dens, the corny hold on and defend rather VERY well!

SOUNDS

This scratch is very versatile: nervous and slap on the bridge pickup, soft and squeaky on the neck pickup ... a great program!

I love the huge neck pickup with the FUZZ! I can not help but play muse new born for every time I play!
Distortion in the neck pickup is very fat, very runny but not control, let me explain: the sound remains clear despite the aspet felted and surly it releases ...
The sound of the pickup? then there is what surprised me the most ... I have an American TV and try some Mexican tele, but the sound of the aircraft ... I'm in love: I like the feeling of playing on an old telecaster (at least that's the idea that I made the sound of a very old tv). I do not know if it is wood or micro or anything (in my imagination? Not .)... strange ... Yet while the sounds pass over without complaining: clear and crunches voxiens, fenderiens the GROWL style plexi Marshall Jcm, etc ... even metal sounds are still clear and precise (but beware, it's not and it's even EMG humbucker ace so it remains "soft" as the metal) ...

The middle position is my favorite crunch position (under the bridge you know?). I could go deaf so I love playing with this sound to Burn! Just fun!

I LOVE THIS SCRATCH!!

OVERALL OPINION

I have this from scratch in two years and I did not let go since. I fell in love! This is the first time a guitar impresses me so much ... And at this price ...

You just make a small turn at the guitar shop on the corner for a small switch to 11 euros, a rewiring rule for about 15/20 euros, and an adjustment to the octave (which was done in a hurry too, but hey, it's not the U.S. custom shop ...).
So for forty euros plus the guitar is a super Bécanne! it's not really dead when we see the result ...

I would do this choice today without any problems (unless I get very stupid ... which is not yet possible )
