«  beautiful finish »

made in Asia probably saw the price, but whether it is in China or Korea ... I could not tell.
As the name suggests it is very fine more than 335, a Sheraton, Riviera, ... the shape is slightly different but ultimately has a side by side, I prefer the Hofner.
the table also is a bit thinner than 1mm or 2mm and flamed maple is beautiful.
rotten fittings to change. Tune O Matic 4mm screws are then selected by a thread, yuck!

UTILIZATION

C-profile neck or too thick or too wide. good grip.
light weight, no shrink beyond, necessarily very accessible in the high ...
the wiring is especially I do not know how it is done but when you are in middle position and you cut the volume of a micro volume it cuts the other also. This is the only guitar that I like that works but it is not a problem.
progressive pots and easily dosable.
Although the mechanisms is slightly fuzzy, they take very good agreement, but personally I'll end up changing them for something nicer to live up to instrument making.

SOUNDS

resolutely indie guitar rock in my opinion. It comes off very well the other instruments thanks to its harmonics.
the micro bridge has a very good offense, like a 335. The neck pickup lacks a little mellow but coupled with the easel is a wonder. Even clear the bridge pickup is at the limit of saturation is very enjoyable to play.
Of course no one buys a "semi acoustic" without knowing what it starts (risk of feedback and lack of definition in some configs, ...)
It's really a very melodious guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall ... I love it. it's been a few days I have but five months of research I tested:
-Lots of all vintages alike sheraton
-A marathon
-Riviera
-Dot
Custom 77-Needles & Pins 2.0 (but then its super huge. Unfortunately finishes fair. 575euros but the damage to V1 are much better)
A.-Ibanez.
none of the latter are both finite. The only problem is the hardware.
Basically, I was looking for a Samick Sheraton plants but one finishes are not constant and two microphones are changing and three prices start to buckle.
Still hesitate to change the neck pickup for a slightly more bluesy sound, but I fear it does not fit as well with the bridge.
Sure I would do this choice
