UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable trs. I usually play a Start, I had a lightweight adaptation time, because it is still more pais. But now I prfere the handle of the as83 that my Mexican Start!
CHAC is relatively easy to acute .. may be not as much as a ibanez RG or a stratum, but these are the queens of Contents! No, that is + CSTA good all the same.
The guitar is like ES335, ie a body (beautiful) relatively large. But it still retains a good ergonomics. It is obvious that to you if you change your regular at stratodes forms.
Are obtained trs good sound, playing a bit with the knobs.

SOUNDS

This guitar is versatile trs, although its areas of prdilection are jazz, blues and rock.
I use a Flextone III.
Are obtained with the hot sounds trs micro serious, especially playing with the knob of Tone. The position is intermdiaire trs singing, and a grain spcial trs .. Ideal for playing Zappa! ;-) The micro acute may be worse, the sound is not hot enough, so finally, but compared to the micro serious is Different. However, it remains a good microphone. Personally, I think the customization of this little wonder can do a real bte! I replaced the microphone by a sharp original Seymour Duncan SH12 (MODL George Lynch) and the neck pickup by sh1 (59). The sound is great, it Arelle feel like a guitar amricaine hands ...

OVERALL OPINION

This will be a year since I use it. This guitar is special, it takes some time to learn, but now I can not do without! The report price is qu'intressant quality .. it's Ibanez ;-) Compared to a certain brand amricaine little democracies, including the top prizes easily reach 900 ...
With the same money I would do without this choice hsitation! This guitar is worth the DEIS!
