UTILIZATION

The handle is comparable to Gibsons (I have a LP custom) ie round, rather large, very pleasant to play an exellent comfort, the handle is the strength of the brand I think.
This scratch is very (too?) light, it is rather well balanced for a skyscraper of this form, better than my jackson RX10 example.
at first sight, the guitar seems to be done to ease notament because of the configuration: a microphone a knob.
In short this guitar sounds with lightness, comfort, ease.

the only fault I could do, but it's very personal, is that I find it a little 'gadget' see plastic guitar, this is due to light weight.

SOUNDS

I played a peavey VK, the clean sound is very correct for a bridge position, but rather crystalline necessarily not very sweet.
distortion in the guitar behaves really well, you say normal, it is built for that, the micro EMG HZ, after much thought I was done, I was quite convinced, I found it very clean and accurate, not as much as a 81 TFW, but good all the same, I do not think what the change is mandatory!

So I found the sound of this guitar very clean, good quality but lacks personality, after all depends on the amp, may say that the sound is very common and not really scalable.

OVERALL OPINION

I find the price too high for the 1200th scraper (requires signature) but for those who seek a sound fairly trivial, a fan of the look etc. .. it will not be disappointed.
not versatile for a penny, this is super light scratches even I find too, we forget the one around the neck, but it is really comfortable and easy to play, shame about the price
