Construction quality Asian Industrial correct (7 / 10), 3 simple electronic knobs, a switch and a 3 slecteur positions.Du classic.
The matte black or "gothic black" is nice but takes fingerprints easily.
The neck is glued to a mahogany body says. This should be nato and may even be a plywood so it is lgre nato! But the sound is okay though.
The rest of the acastillage plutt is strong and I was not inspired by fear particulire.

UTILIZATION

The neck is playable. Certainly a little thick and a bit wide but not be dsagrable. This is not an Ibanez Wizard neck or typ Stratocaster, but I do not remember a beam either.

We go down pretty well, we go back quickly: the form V apprciable for it.
Ergonomics are good, despite a tendency nosedive, a form not sitting empty place to play (despite the gum on the horn ct thigh) and think it will play with a horn between legs when sitting. Not drink the sea.

The sound is good, even with the Epiphone pickups. But there is nothing gothic or mtallaode. It is not bad for dfend rock and blues, but the pickups do not have the precision nor the gain for hard rock. I think this guitar MRIT a change of pickups. Can not be Duncans or EMG, which would rate the price of the guitar, but the GFS or Bill Lawrence still affordable.

In the State, it will be him 6.

SOUNDS

- Appropriate are your style of music?
Yes. A condition not to apply heavy saturation edge.

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I used a combo of Flextone3 Line6.

- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
At the risk of rpter, the sound is fat its field. A little pteux, trs round. The clean liked me for plans with a nice note note rverb (simu Fender). The large distortion quickly becomes pteuse and few exploitable with the original Epiphone pickups.

- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?
The clean trs left me good memories.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I used a few months before I Spare to another range.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
I like the look enough moves away from its (paradoxical fun) and am under apprci the absence of cover ... and a cover for V-factor is not found in any shop.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Oh yes, and I had many other APRS.

- How do you report qualitprix?
I got it used in perfect state. For about 300 euros era. I found this price trs correct, the guitar is good quality and well worth the price to him nine attribute.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
In second or troisime guitar, with a stratode for slamming and plump for the LP, I think the V Gothic would ease. This is the kind of guitar that makes you happy, it is nice, not ugly and still a big impression those who have never seen a prs!
