it is a two-year okaz a little knocked.
USA apparently, but the varnish hardly sticks to the legs unlike almost all of the high-gloss guitar brand that I could touch.
Barrel price for this level of equipment and finishing (well-posed frets filed down, no cosmetic defect, real knobs maousses and everything is welded beefy).
The pickups are spotless, the Burstbuckers.
The handle is thinner than my epiphone lp sg400pro and hair. It is just perfect to play, pass without thinking.

UTILIZATION

Reasonable weight, access ozégu childish, very balanced standing as sitting.
It is a flat-top, which changes the game level of comfort left arm too tight against the edge of the guitar (it cuts off circulation to strength), just find me a armrest with Gretsch ...
Pressing the thigh near the bridge which unhinged guitar much like a sg, so we found two boxes too high automatically. Solution play standing ...

Its vacuum very homogeneous and transparent, good sustain, and slap. Really awesome.

SOUNDS

So plugged it this very fluid character / a hit in the mix, it sounds authoritative! Deadly accuracy.
Too slamming / present for me, so I changed the pickups komdab (I had in my box has surprises) for softer (Epiphone I believe and split, gold) and bingo it's my grail, I keep clarity and airy side while having a velvety to fall on the serious split. The bridge is completely transcended by him punch the guitar and shines saturax.
A good marriage, stock is too direct for me.

OVERALL OPINION

I changed all the hardware for the gold (the sunburst goes wrong with the coldness of chrome) and it is superb. This allowed me to really listen beast in every angle and frankly there's nothing to complain it's very well built.
In short, a good plan for those who want to be heard as a group and get the look. Also no feedback problem to report.
For 900 euros it costs to nine it's amazing actually, who knows what the law really requires us to aposer claw made in usa ..
Grover, original Gibson pickups, extra finish, quality hardware, set neck, it starts to make a lot right?
