    -The Access in acute is the only true, but small problem regarding my opinion.

    -The shape is visually enjoyable trs, unfortunately it is not very practical to play seated. It is not too heavy (3kg and bananas), but the handle always falls lgrement, not a real problem in itself. Also beautiful colors, black polished along the sleeve of the head and body, the pickguard is white particulirement Aesthetics, in short, is a copy of Gibson Flying-V you would tell me .

    It comes very easy-good sound, sustain trs is also stretched, but rather sound prfrer axes for metal / hard rock.

    SOUNDS

    Exactly the sound, as a fan of metal particulirement it suits me! Great for power chords, but do not count on playing too much treble.

    "I used just a basic amp modlisation, V-Tone GM108 Berhinger and it makes rather well with ...

    Despite its serious tone, and metal, we can still get the same russia a little jazz or rock rglant more or less the tone, volume and other distortions, a guitar that can accommodate some sounds if you have the hardware.

    -I do not tural preferences for sound of this guitar, they are all great!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I reu recently, great package, it comes in over 4 days. Great shape, sounds gniaux metal, a price that low, only 118, the only criticism possible is probably the lack of versatility in sound, but in any case, it remains a trs good guitar for its price!

    Made in China Distributed by Thomann.
    Guitar-22 frets, 2 humbuckers.
    Single-Bridge Tune-o-Matic.

    U-Channel type, screwed, rather flat with key rosewood
    box of good quality, correct pickguard
    we get a good sound settings menu after qques
    the wood of the instrument is surely exotic wood that is cheap but not disturbing
    The onboard electronics the 2 tone knobs, the volume pot volume, and the mechanical switch, it's lightweight, it feels "cheap", they will not take 10 years for sure!

    UTILIZATION


    violin more than correct
    U nice handle pretty well finished for an instrument of this price! (115 euros)
    the frets do not snag on your fingers the key is to be painted! I think because I had the fingers all brown at first use
    imprecise mechanical function by accoups (change in the short term)


    SOUNDS


    ToneLab LE connected to my low volume and a small amp to sound right
    in crunch and metal
    it sounds pretty much like my Epiphone LP Studio and customized by seymour SH4 P90
    the humbuckers are fairly accurate for a copy
    I have not tried it on my other amps



    OVERALL OPINION

    I've bought the home for fun (delivered in 3 days) and I was quite surprised because with all the talk about this brand, I expected worse, the look is successful,
    NB: we said the same about Squier (and still yet), there are twenty five years
    guitars with prices between 115 and 2400 euros
    I do not compare it to my TV 52 and Gibson SG is not the goal
    I must say that for the price, there's nothing to say
    especially since we must stop saying that all these are the harley benton stew!
    unless I found a good copy I know guitars 3-4 times more expensive not better (Epiph.. etc. ..)
    I would like to enter can be GIBSON 498T humbucker 498R AND
    but for now, it sounds a lot like that
    and is widely playable
    and she deserves better than being hung on the wall

    Test-even ESP MII (Sustain level is comparable.)

    "I like its shape, this originality, aesthetics and mechanical customing in anticipation!

    I start this purchase without a doubt.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it recently, I also in my possession the Hbr 450 BK Harley Benton.
    The report quality "top prize is a great value price, it's on;)

    A flying V as faithful to the original, for 115 euro is a great guitar.

    Change the most qualified plastic Harley Benton, and put a Gibson believe there ^ ^.

    Simply a great guitar;)
