Value For Money : Excellent
Made in Korea (like what they bossent getting better there ...)
Easel wood / metal replaced by Allparts USA.

The technical specifications have already been reported by other users.
Otherwise I would not try to match the prose of my comrades, it's perfect! Everything is there!

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable for those who like the old folk and other instruments that are played "way back in there" <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
Personally it suits me perfectly. The shape is very nice, the balance is good.
Ergonomics: the weight is just incredible, it's very nice to play on for hours without tiring. Access to acute is not great because we are quickly disturbed by the belt clip attachment + body-neck a bit thicker.
Above all: it sounds very easily. The knobs are effective, the microphones were just a buzz when Groos tendency to have spent close to a TV screen ... RAM flat screens!

SOUNDS

This guitar just "squeaking" is the perfect complement to a guitar sound thicker, Gibson type.
Me I double my lines with my disto and Danish models have the full sound spectrum of a guitar: the bold and sharp. The Danish transperse the mix without needing to match the power of a humbucker.
I also love the sounds it delivers clear, deep, warm and with more personality that a stratum.
Even before connecting, playing "dry", the sound is pleasant enough to use in your room. " The body is semi-hollow, do not forget. In any case it contains more air than a traditional solid body.
I plugged into a Marshall JCM 2000, during a Fender try to see if I get deeper still clean.
on the other hand, one thing is clear, even fine tuned, if you double it jumps another guitar to the ears: it sounds slightly wrong! A pronounced chorus effect is created between the two sounds. Whose fault is it? At the easel! No compensation can be separated with jumpers. That is why I bought an easel as those fitted to newer models. After setting it should. Personally mechanics do not bother me, she hold well. The nut can be cracked metallic harmonics everywhere, it sounds bright lipstick and hold the road even fuzz. I will try out a shield electronics still ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 or 4 years and I am always amazed adiction side of the instrument. When I just want to play I go often to her than to my dryer and my Gibson. The sound is very flattering and this little guitar just waiting to get better ...
I ordered just after the cessation of production of this particular model on the internet at a shop in south-west. I had tried one in Marseille and saw that all the 56 U2 are all strictly identical (for reasons of production methods and materials used), no surprises. This is one of the few instruments that can be ordered remotely without trying it. Not as a stratum or in the same range for the same price we found a board and a guitar infamous correct (eg series or even the Fender Mex).
The price / quality ratio is excellent, even unbeatable. The theory of "it's cheap because it is not good" does not apply here. From the moment we know their specialties and limitations, we can only be satisfied. It is well worth more than the price you pay! In hindsight, I not only welcome this purchase but I am ready to do it again as soon as possible! Considering the price of cars is very tempting!

I can not put a note (probably a bug) but I give it 9 / 10 for small flaws, but as someone said we attach to it too quickly, it's part of his personality <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />
