UTILIZATION

WARNING I just received this guitar and what follows are my first impressions.
In use the handle slips out without more, easy to play. Access to acute not bad, reasonable weight I expected heavier.
I find the strings too high, I'll probably try to drop a bit (not too frieze that already a little hard on low E)
Given the price / quality ratio it is worth 8
Small flat on the varnish, I have the version and BK Aie Aie Aie rayures.Rien the deep is hard but good out of the box after half an hour of play alone, it's already become a guitar OCCAZ.
Its level is not bad: No wind load, a very good sustain.
The neck pickup is very serious, the light goes well.
The bridge pickup farts big distal well (note I am afraid it is a bit nazillard anyway). At the same time I have not had time to make many adjustments to be confirmed
What is interresting with this guitar, except for a good violin, these are active pickups. Certainly they have nothing but their silence is exceptional will enjoy during breaks. More when the budget allows I would not mind a little zakk wilde kit to replace them. The battery compartment which houses the two AA's perfect for accepting a 9V battery
Guitar scalable.

SOUNDS

I think she is perfect for my style (my style) of music.
What I like: metal, but in fact I try to play a little tout.A use I would see the limitations of the beast
I play a Peavey Bandit 112 and a multi purpose Behringer VAMP2 and I am in constant search of "good" sound. For now I am not satisfied I expect this guitar to help me

OVERALL OPINION

I am what you might call a newbie with only one year of practice.
I started with the pack Behringer El Toro: guitar amp, but lay not so rotten as it sounds. Obviously it's crate, it goes out of tune but the neck is not bad for being the hand.
I tried Vig LS eruption style with EMG passive. Not bad but I was afraid of the brand is why I find the equivalent in Ibanez.
The price / quality ratio is unbeatable for me, For € 300 you can hardly expect better.
Moreover, I find the rating OCCAZ audiozanfine ridiculous!
Will explain
Too early to tell whether this choice I would do but it looks set
