unknown provenance, I suppose Asia, for the price.
WARNING! the distributed model in France is different from the photo site, there is no mechanical head with pierced but a flat head but nicely dessinnée with Kluson type mechanisms, to my surprise. Similarly, the knobs are different, they are gray and knobs gibson type noirs.Je find it more successful than the model of the site. this is what looks like the version distributed

The body is Honduras mahogany, quite surprising for an instrument at this price, but it is very nice and we do not see any flaws in the finish for my model at all cas.de more it is not painted but receives a very nice patina
Pearloid button in effect gives a very retro and succeeded.
Another good surprise, the model is equipped with a 16/56 string factory outlet which is nice to open the console type g for example, we keep the voltage
Too bad, no cover, but for the price ... normal.
If I had to look for a default, can be the bridge that scratches a little, nothing bad really.


UTILIZATION

Well, we stopped to contemplate it and put it on the knees.
it is quite wide and long compared to a lot of lap steel, giving it a good ergonomics.

SOUNDS

branch, first in a Pignose, and the P90 is therefore much fucking, before receiving it I already saw the change, but I think the left, on a Pignose background, we are at Ben Harper Ground On Down ....
right after the clean sound, you have to play the Pignose knob on and the volume of the guitar, you get a clean and honorable, but ideal for this lap steel is the crunch.
Clean my laney vc15, a little reverb and there, the clean is not bad at all.



OVERALL OPINION

Recommend to anyone looking for a lap steel for a reasonable price, I have friends who still do not believe it cost me € 149 ...
Well above the current gretsch lap steel that cost much more expensive.
I think that's not going to leave my collection any time soon ...
