UTILIZATION

The handle is trs end, a rgal VLOC for little fingers, it is quick and super comfortable. Guitar relatively lgre, trs good ergonomics of the body, acute dcoupe your checks to be perfect and well thought. Small hands may find the heel a little be pais, but hey, is seen.
Violin making of this instrument is excellent, empty and without plugging it dlivre lot of sustain, a guarantee of quality wood.

SOUNDS

The highlight of this guitar is its playability The grip is IMMEDIATE and ease of play dconcertante. You can do absolutely everything with whatever your style of play
If you play smooth and fast you will rgaler.
But as a excs amne in another, be aware that for the rest, not really. I found the sound of any microphone and really "made in Japan". No personality or plain, nor saturated. Cel is of course subjective and you can find everything that you got.
For my part I install three microphones Di Marzio Air Classic Neck / 2 HS / Air Classic Bridge and is the top.
For madmen, not you n'esprez dfouler the vibrato, he has a little trouble back in place. It must be said that the guitar
Premire is not a hand.
The Previous dtenteur this guitar to keep the original Gotoh mcaniques to replace them with Chinese-made PING. This means that they do absolutely Agreement ds abuses of vibrato. Difficult to comment objectively on this view, since I could not test it with the Gotoh.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for over a year. I bought it used for just over 400 euros. Given the quasi-mandatory appendices and transformations that I have couraging, it is certainly not the case.
First and on the advice of a luthier friend, I ask a Wilkinson tremolo and Sperzel and mcaniques.
Cot of opration: 160 euros as it took to manufacture the jig mcaniques + 110 euros. Then I replaced the original three microphones. I still transfer the push / pull switch and install three mini to replace the inverter 5 is dfectueux positions.
Only under the excellent stringed instrument of the DCID I make all these changes. It is clear that this investment is consquent, but I dsormais a scratch my hand and ringing.
Regarding the sound, the current configuration of microphones satisfies me, because I chose it based on my gaming CRITERIA I would not state either the sound quality of this guitar because the pickups do are the original ones. J'mettrais ultrieur a notice on the set of microphones that I install in another section.

Conclusion:

It's a good guitar trs condition to make some changes. Section block / vibrato / mcaniques review is totally unless You are not a fan or a tear of the utensil. As for pickups, it's really a matter of change and got foncirement is not an obligation.
J'enlve therefore a point for the vibrato and a second for the sound REALLY lack of personality. It's a shame because the violin is really Nippon quality.
