UTILIZATION

Ergonomics is excelente for the violin, very easy to handle, perfect for all hands pitch close to a Fender. the body, slight, is very pleasant as playing sitting and standing. The mechanisms are not very accurate. the pickups are not very powerful. all seems still quite fragile and cheap.

SOUNDS

If you do not believe in miracles try a Danelectro. Saint Dano pray for us! This guitar is amazing, his bill has everything to displease but it has a unique charm.
plugged into a Marshall or Fender (tube, of course) and it's magic, a little reverb and Daniel Lanois has just hit your shoulder. For the saturation I use a BB preamp Toxic, an open tuning, a phaser, and en route to Kashmir.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is irreplaceable, I paid the equivalent of less than 200 euro new, but even much more expensive I will take the same, probably by changing the mechanical. It is in open G or D it sounds best for me. Try it with a bottleneck if you find more, I think the production is stopped. I tried his ancestor of 1960, but it was much damaged. I hope it lasts.
