Zeble « Good Lord, what a killer guitar »
Published on 02/03/12 at 00:50Korean-made guitar.
3-saddle bridge that, contrary to what many people say, doesn't detune the guitar anymore than any other.
Magnificent neck in birdseye maple with a fingerboard of the same wood.
Relatively good Seymour Duncan pickups, the guitar has punch.
3 pickup selectors.
Awesome.
UTILIZATION
The neck is disconcertingly easy. It slides like butter, it bends like rubber, it borders perfection. It has nothing to envy high-end models.
The weight is very well balanced, the guitar isn't heavy.
Access to the upper frets is easy, too, you can go all the way to the top of the neck and do bendings without any problems.
Awesome.
SOUNDS
This is where it kicks serious ass: It suits almost all possible styles. I play essentially the clean channel, but I also like to use a good overdrive or distortion or wah-wah and it rocks. Very funky, it's great.
The lows are jaw-dropping, we once used it to replace the bass in a rehearsal with my band.
I never use a big amp, I only have a small Vox Amplug with speakers. But that doesn't stop it from sounding big, very big.
The middle channel is my favorite, but the other sound possibilities (even if I haven't tried everything) balance a good quality sound.
Awesome.
OVERALL OPINION
I love it. I bought it 4 days ago and I can't stay away from it. Its value for money is simply unbeatable, the price difference to get an American Standard isn't worth going broke. Excellent guitar, especially for $400. If you ever stumble into one, give it a try, you'll be seduced.
