I will not return to the characteristics listed above by my fellow guitar players, I want to give my opinion because I did a lot of research before buying this Glinde, looking for an affordable Fender. I think could help a guitarist who hesitates as I did after some research. Mine's a triple jumpers "vintage" I do not think change for the moment, it goes out of tune so easily I think.
The three positions offer sounds interesting, for my part I only play on the position which gives access to the most acute and the rest I manage with my effects pedals.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, no worries at that level. Very good point, the weight of this Glinde is really great, it is very balanced in terms of access to acute, come in: when I went to fetch her to her former owner, I try, the string curl, the setting is disgusting, and I go down on the handle the more it rings false. But I take it anyway because we feel the potential of direct and beautiful even on a crappy amp (Marshall 15watts transistor made in china's expensive owner) This guitar seems recurrent in Lite Ash deserves an obligatory passage in the luthier The handle of mine began to twist (impossible to see with the naked eye during the test) because of its bird's eye maple, very light and tends to move. Finally, it is not the kind of guitar traumatizing ...
Adjustments made: a killing, no more no less. I put a 8 to that point because the fact that the handle is not very strong and moves a little disturbing. Mine is relatively new (2006 or 2007 I do not remember exactly) I expect to see over time if it will stabilize. It is mounted in 10/46

SOUNDS

I can say that I'm on your ass, micro Duncan is a terrible efficiency in its clear, and what surprised me most in distortion. I play in two groups, one song in a style of street and the other hard rock and oh surprise, it fits perfectly in both styles.
It was announced a vintage sound on some forums. Yeah but it must be the amp that goes to get closer to that sound. I played on a fender tube 15watts, indeed, we find this vintage side. On my Vox VTX, it sounds newer. Although I have not had time to use the guitar with the amp because the VTX offers a wide range of sounds. I think with the settings that go well, the type of amp, there's way to much fun on the punk hard rock or the good old 70s rock. I put a 10 because it's really the sound that I love and research. I find it much more versatile than most expected eventually. And that's good.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using less than a month, I have a Gibson Melody Maker Dual microphones that takes a hell of a beating next. Brian May I also think that I do not know fully exploited so I will not compare, it is a scratch guitar hero and it's far from me. I have a correct level and this guitar is a guitar beginner and intermediate between the high level I think. I've been playing for 7 years, I've seen guitars go and it is for its price, the best I've seen. As I said, extolling the virtues of this guitar in his clear, but the distortion blew me away. It is damn rock'n'roll. This is a guitar that is great in my old violin maker who finds that the price is a steal. My potos musicos feel the same way. I paid 300 euros, like new. When I see the shovel that I know I will keep for life. A true love at first sight, I swear.
In short, if you see one, do not miss it. You will regret it.
