Objective description:
Alder guitar with flamed maple top, Washburn pickups and Floyd Rose tremolo.
Subjective description:
Nice-looking guitar with a good finish.
(8) It seems ok.
UTILIZATION
The neck is simple but it has no character. The frets are well manufactured, the Floyd Rose tremolo is very bad and it doesn't stay in tune. It's not possible to block the strings for a long period of time. The knobs don't work progressively and the pickups have a lousy sound. It's difficult to get a good sound. Access to the upper frets is good.
(3) Not good, just ok.
SOUNDS
The sound has no character, nothing special. However, unplugged it sounds pretty good. The high-end is very present and it is really inviting to keep on playing. Once you plug the guitar, the clean tone is ok but the 6th string generates noise and the distortion sound is very inaccurate. Don't use the Floyd Rose tremolo if you want the guitar to stay in tune.
(3) Compared with other guitars in this price range the result is very poor. If I were to compare it with all possible competitors it would be pathetic.
OVERALL OPINION
I used it a few weeks and then I sold it to a guy who found it very good. I think you must be a fan to like it but it's just an average guitar to me.
