Manufacture Korea apparently.
-This is not a Gibson neck but it's still rather like steak beast x) for my part I did not find it very pleasant ...
-20 Frets (classic), 2 Alnico Humbucker Epiphone liabilities coil (1 tone knob and volume for each)

UTILIZATION

The handle is, to my taste, not very nice, it is not big and easy to play.
Access to acute is easy because here we have the specialty of the brand: the handle stuck. The sound that comes out is correct, it not break three-legged duck but that's okay.

SOUNDS

The sound comes out and relatively large (depending on the settings that are doing), maybe a little soft ... say it is okay overall, but I do not advise to funk (undeniably not enough treble in the sound).

OVERALL OPINION

That's been a little over a year since I've I do not play much with if you play with your fingers and you tend to attack your strings I advise against it, the string action is how to say. BALEZE.Je .. suggest you play with a pick this low fill that perhaps a little lack of original attack.
Anything satin varnish is really crappy (there's no other word), it comes off easily, it is just to move his finger by pressing it.
I do not agree with what the others said: it is heavy.
I finally at least one point where you can not complain about the body is maple that exchange Agatis rotten, but it is (much) heavier.

This is the final purpose of all these bad points we quickly understood why we see very little, I moved quickly to something else after this low, and (although this is far from being the lowest of the year see my gear) it struck me 15x better.
