UTILIZATION

After some modifications, this guitar is a dream.
While the handle is not worthy of a Fender U.S. but for the price no complaints, the finishing is very neat.
The mechanics are not moving, the tuner is a big plus, a push-pull on the volume knob mutes and displays the note using small LEDs.
The fixed bridge is also significant to my level no-brainer with the string change noted that the strings through the body
The mods I've done pretty quickly:
change a lot of micro seymour duncan Air Norton / Tone Zone
A push-pull knob for the pickups split single
A mechanism for the Hipshot Drop-D (I'm not completely satisfied, but nothing to do with the guitar).

SOUNDS

So I currently play with a head Blackheart 15w and my pedalboard (see my profile for more details). Well, I'm happy with the sound, this is not yet the Son but change my amp will probably reach the Grail. After difficult to talk about the sound of the guitar itself knowing that the rest of the gear is also very much but for my style (pop / rock or metal) it suits me very well and it is still quite versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is my # 1 (not at the same time a large collection) and I am very pleased considering the price. So yes it's not a great guitar, but in view of the finish, the playing comfort and price I can only put a 9/10.
If I had the choice again I will not hesitate
