Guitar "Crafted In Japan" (it&#39;s more class ...)
22 frets, two pickups with simple selectors "on-off-off phase", one volume and one tone for both.
The bridge is a "Fender Dynamic Vibrato". I want to emphasize that if we do not resolve properly, the vibrato guitar Disagree so monstrous ...
The handle is rather short (I have more in tune with the size of the head), rather thin and slightly rounded, but mostly fun! This is happiness for people who do not have long fingers!
Well, obviously it&#39;s anything but a guitar schredder ...
The body is small enough, and it is light ... légèèère! A joy to play up.
Mine is all black, it&#39;s more class.

UTILIZATION

As mentioned above, the handle is extremely pleasant, not heavy for a sub, it&#39;s pure joy ...
Access to acute ... It is not impossible but the last are quite frets raprochées, better to have the fingers for ... Finally with this type of guitar, it has nothing to do here! It&#39;s not his land!
Ergonomics standard is happiness: like any small, thin, stable, it is very enjoyable to play.
The sound is good even unplugged it makes it great!
on the other hand, watch out the vibrato, it&#39;s a real crap: Disagree to avoid all the time, you have to shake to death against his plate to catch the low strings, is the only way to make it take the agreement ... It&#39;s not death if you do not fart a rope every two days, especially since the strings are still acute changeable. I also screwed the aluminum tape around the feet of the bridge to make it more stable, for that matter ... Anyway now I can fully vibration-er I stay well tuned! Least one point for this fault, anyway.
(Incidentally, I also shielded, because it buzzit lot at the base, now it is not noiseless but it&#39;s really more annoying ...)

SOUNDS

I play more or less Alernative rock, grunge, that kind of stuff ... Period 90&#39;s. It&#39;s perfect ... Although I would add it may be a Jeff Beck Junior side easel, it lacks a bit of potato at times.
The pickups are made very small, it can be annoying sometimes ... It&#39;s tame, but be warned as much.
I play a Roland Cube 30 in my room and on a Mesa / Boogie Studio Preamp to repeat, sometimes I spend a Chubster Rivera 40. I use a lot of different distortion pedals in my mood (Big Muff, Shred Master, SansAmp ...) with a Polychorus to EHX and delay Ibanez vintage: the guitar is quite distorted, but still shows its character , namely a clear sound very beautiful, very fluid, lens ... It could be the right word.
This guitar is versatile, we will not Start, she listed a "nihilistic madness girl" I love a real fire ...
It&#39;s a horror to look how to ring with a distortion, but once it&#39;s found is happiness!
I do not hate any sound, they are all really good ... I am fully satisfied!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months now, I think I almost made the rounds ...
This is a guitar with a character, it is uncommon at the look as sound.
If you play rock as a young nihilist who washes your hair, it is for you ... If you play things very clear in his slamming, it can also do it without problem. You just have to remember that this guitar will never be versatile and it is they who will tell you how struck, and not vice versa. In short, I&#39;m in love.
Before, I was on an Epiphone, a Les Paul it was a nice guitar but there&#39;s still another level, for a price not much higher ...
I ordered it in Japan, you can call it a big whim, I wanted a guitar, I had the money, I had just seen a play group with a scratch on a Music Master all black, j &#39;was in love, hop pack is weighed. I still spent nights at the reviews positive and negative ... Well, when we head idiot!
The quality / price ratio is positively good, € 350 for the guitar, with shipping and taxes it came back to just under 600 ... For a guitar of this quality it&#39;s worth.
The only thing that pains me a little is that painting is like "solid plastic," the sudden she will not look good vintage, bah too bad! At least she still has a unique color ...
In the same situation, I would do without hesitation that choice or not. I&#39;m really happy with this guitar and I do not feel the need to change is a real communion, something quite incredible. If me or steal it ended in a fire at the bottom of a lake or something like that, I would buy another one, sure, but for now, great!
