Value For Money : Excellent
Guitar made in Korea, made of mahogany, it has (alone) 22 frets, the pickups are hambuckers AH1 and 2 (for beginners: it is the right microphone;)) a neck position and the other bridge position (logical)

The bridge is a Full tune II (same type as that of Lespaul, it is impossible to put a whammy bar)

there are also three position switch, one position to another neck pickup bridge pickup and the middle of a sample of each coil microphone. (so no way, unless I am mistaken, play like a single coil)
Then a volume and tone knob for each pickup (or 4 knobs in total)

As for the handle, it is maple with rosewood fingerboard, it is stuck, (and this is a pure marvel)

UTILIZATION

The handle is merveilleu, very slightly concave, he married literally shape your fingertips, access to acute could not be more easy (the shape of the guitar to understand)

The guitar is not abusive heavy (but my old skyscraper looks like a toy nearby). Never lean forward without taking your guitar (I got a few scares at the beginning) because the strap lock on the left is the guitar (so dangerous).
The shape is great but causes a slight imbalance, in fact, besides this, the guitar tends to nose dive when the loose, but it does not interfere with the game

Audiofanzine asks me - do you get a good sound easy? ... I answer: YES From the first notes (after changing the strings because these origins are never brilliant) found such a good sound system of a down (try to play Sugar, it looks like daron a mistake ... )

SOUNDS

Being musically Polyval, guitar suits me because it is too. But I've never been able to exploit its true potential because the amp that I play is a real $ £ * U /!. Anyway, I will soon buy a Marshall MG100 Dfx with a Zoom GFX-8 pedal. (And I think I would be able to tell you how much I love this scratching)

Thanks to my "superb" amp, I can not make any adjustments (even no knob to adjust bass, etc ...) but I can say that its clear the sound is beautiful and crystal (the proof is pleased my father) and saturated fat and it is very runny (but not too much ^ ^)

What I like is playing rammstein or system, the one really takes his foot! there is agreement in D and the bars are all alone, it is monstrous: D
What I like least is that the upper strings smack too much (but hey, a little adjustment at the bridge and you're done)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for the past 6 months;

What I like most: Its shape, and finishes his
What I like least: it is not able to play really well (I have a year and a half behind me scratching ^ ^)

Before buying it I have not really had the opportunity to try another model because I did that in the head, I was in the U.S., my parents had a fit of generosity, so veiled

The value for money is fabulous. I paid 500dollars all round and I am more than happy!

I think I will remake this choice without any hesitation because it is really a guitar at the best value that we can find (and not having deep pockets, it's all good)
