UTILIZATION

The handle is it enjoyable?
Very nice.

Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
No worries.

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Good ergonomics. A little heavy and unbalanced side handle.

Gets it easy to sound good?
If you put him right strings, if the rule correctly and that the branch on a good amp is known both set a priori no worries.

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?
Perfectly. I play rock, punk, stoner, noise ... it changes the endless Fender or Musicman.

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
With an Ampeg SVT-350H connected to a SVT 810AV. I only use the neck pickup Humbucker. I have a tube distortion and it sounds very fat. I use a 50-110 shooting but maybe I'll take an even bigger.

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold", ....)?
The clean sound has its own character, that of a humbucker body, a little fat and mini humbucker, that the bridge is slamming, it's because one is double and the other simply added to their positioning accentuates this report. I try not to put them together because the sound becomes a bit too rich and dispersed.

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
Since 2008.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Most: his look, do not hide the fact that a guitar is because the class is purchased! Fun to play with an interesting character! Bourine and it is not moving! almost, you really pull the strings to have to re-tune to the next song.
Cons: The accuracy of the handle a bit limited. Some cases, such as F # on the E string, are too high and it requires to grant depending on the tone of each piece. When I take you to see a luthier, I ask him what he can do about it.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I have a Rickenbacker 4001, it still sounds different.

How would you rate the quality / price?
Pretty good, it is found around 1000 € and this is the class to play with it!

With experience, you do again this choice?
Of course!
