xride « A lot of flaws, but sounds pretty good ... »
Published on 02/23/11 at 07:03See below for terms of features.
I want to say that all the defects I will list over that comment, are in no way blame.
For 85 € I will not allow myself to some criticism that it is ...
So I got the beast this morning, immediately unpacked, inspected immediately!
The failures are numerous:
- The mechanics do not take up and are not aligned, I immediately had a stroke screwdriver and 10mm wrench!
There are small cracks on the head, below the 2 mechanical washers home.
The lifts are not oil baths in the light of the first test (it will bring out the Hulk in you, if you place it in big anchors)
- The hardware is not very heavy and looks very fragile
- The finishes (although this guitar, I do not know if we can call finishes) are virtually nonexistent ... ...
There are places that are painted, others not; ditto for the varnish, which, in this place is so that it forms bumps.
There are jets of white paintings spread over the entire guitar, including neck (it should be the worker next door who was a Start!), Micro-scratches and splinters everywhere
- The housing nut is poorly dug, it will not fit properly in it, there is no glue at this location
- The holes for the key markers are irregular and a diameter greater than the benchmark key itself, so we have a space between the hole and the mark
- The key seems to have undergone any treatment is really a rough wooden board under the fingers
I have not checked the mail (as long as it works ... touch wood ... or the key of this guitar!).
UTILIZATION
The handle is quite comfortable to hold in hand, access to acute is relatively easy.
The action is basic and extremely high (80 mm at the 12th fret), but a few laps later allen key, you reach for something a little more drinkable.
It is when one focuses on the key as it goes bad ... as explained above, I've never had an unpleasant sensation on a guitar.
When you bend the rope literally scrape the wood to such a degree that I almost came to tell me that if it continues like this, I would have a handle scaloppé a few times (I exaggerate only, I saw dust on the fingers ...)
SOUNDS
It's a little surprise of this instrument, despite the physical and technical scrap more than was here a sound that n is not gross., well obviously that's not the sound of an SG, we should not kid ourselves either, but it sounds appropriately.
The pots are doing their job and really change the sound (the guitar I started with a first prize that day Jackson could not be said ...).
She does not agree very well, but I've seen worse, and then, I have not taken time to adjust the harmonics ...
OVERALL OPINION
I've bought only one purpose: to have an extra guitar tunings for exotic wholesale nag (including myself in my spare time)!
I am a teacher and has 3 guitars, 2 with Floyd, it was a nightmare when he had to disagree for a course and re-tuning as standard time according ... impossible to have held agree suitable ...
I am more than fulfilled, I save time, my favorite guitars is quietly granted as standard, and I use the Harley more than point to the use of its own now!
We'll see how it will stand the time, but I am under no illusion too, at that price ...
I would not advise in any case this guitar for a beginner (the goal of the maneuver is to make him love the instrument, not the trauma), as add a little more to its base budget in order to obtain a product that takes actually the road (especially the finish, the big black spot on this guitar).
In conclusion, it has for its 85 € and that's it.
