See website for details Fender but what left me a little bitter taste is plastoc cache 'of micro switch which is very "cheap" especially when it is off and I had to return the flycase ( included with and is of course nikel) to find ... A point of glue and the problem is in the archives.

No problem with the volume switch, no noise / interference / clicks while we're going as a bully. For the tone knob, nice not to have too low invasive when cut but I prefer shades that binary settings.

Mechanical yet well-oiled, nothing moves, wood is not young, even with the weather which went from a mild late summer cold harbinger of winter, nothing-moves. Treat it well and it will reward you!

UTILIZATION

After 4-5 years on a 7 string to freight almost every day and jumbo frets for acoustic nylon, I thought playing on a ukulele the first time!

Touch is like touching a piece of art of a master carver, fingers agree to handle easily taking you along the frets nicely arranged from start to almost finish. Cutting a little deeper and my paws reach the end. It is light, a current of air and it flies when you play standing weight inspire you to undress for lightness.

SOUNDS

Versatile guitar well, although I reconnected my friendships with passive pickups, their dynamics and made hotter, it is not for all styles of music even if it defends well! Stands up very well especially in the midrange spectrum.

I use it with an Engl Invader 100W with 4x12 cabinet fitted with Celestion Vintage 30 is the result of too mediums because it is thought to set one schecter hellraiser c-7. on the other hand with my pod x3 live mics fish with too much distortion but this kind of grat is not to hide behind his sound too much distortion and other effects!

The sound is very clear, great set, good momentum, then it's a matter of taste, ear and color of your gear and made the room in which you play. TEST-LA because it is the only way to get to the bottom!

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 3 months, a small problem with the switch cover but quickly adjusted.
Past 3 years to find a twenty tried, extremely comfortable access to treble is very good, almost perfect. The price is a strong argument ... yes it has a price but the quality justifies material, trademark and know-how.
The wood used is not very well known, I do not know but this is not to say that is not suitable for the violin!

Leadmusic purchased from Geneva, very knowledgeable, selected version sunburst nicer in my opinion the black version ...

Good try.
