Value For Money : Excellent
Guitar made in Indonesia or somewhere there. Quality is average but still correct (the plate screw selector turn by themselves ....).
22 frets, but the last box does not sound good to check the neck pickup is too pointed. Fixed bridge with 6 saddles. A typical remote switch 3 positions (= neck pickup alone, bridge + neck, bridge only) 1 volume and tone.
Channel C U see quite narrow (40 mm for me, weird ...) and rather thick on my guitar at least as compared to another in the handle was different. Well, even if no one would top it.

UTILIZATION

Channel "usable", as said above, it always surprises me a little by his narrow but well used to it and then it's an electric guitar so the neck is always different (I am used to classical guitar) . Access to acute is not too bad but the 22 ° box does not ring for the e and b string.
Neither heavy nor light (for me) and good balance: it not sting the nose and can be repeated without problems for 3 hours.

SOUNDS

For sounds, well, there are three:
The microphone is super aggressive acute (a little too even acute) and for the blues-rock is terrible (as clear as saturated).
Both sets are good for a rhythm that you want less aggressive.
The microphone is serious (for me): smooth, round, warm, velvety ... But there is a kind of "halo" around the draft especially saturated (I clear? ...), It's not a real Fender this microphone.
But for metal / hard it is a fair bit so I put a hot rails in place of micro fever and it rocks but it loses its "TV" micro acute .. (see my post it here -> hotrails K. Armstrong). Good for the price is pretty decent, with 8 hot-rails.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two years since I use it and no complaints except that the pots and jack are tired. The bridges are slightly oxidized but nothing serious.
value for money (€ 319) is quite good and even if it is not perfect it was a pretty good guitar in his hands. If you want more information do not hesitate!

Addition of 4/6/2006: To the jack that can be unscrewed by itself a tip, go buy a socket for jack 6.35 (€ 0.80) and get you tighten the nut in place of one that loosens the plug jack of your guitar and tighten it good with a wrench for me now there is no problem on that side.
