- It is a model with a US delicate finish that ok but nothing special.

- Acastillage chrom => cool because the more constant use from the dor (I force Svere skating on my LP Custom for something quite dg ...)

- Two humbuckers with Micos easel rlevbr />
- Fixed bridge Gibson => damage a Floyd Rose Original version of silent would cool.

- 2 volumes and 1 Tone => Evil lments prohibit certain places these techniques without taking risks gors. It also lacks a 2nd Tone button to be perfect.

- 1 = 3 positions slecteur> Same super poor position to change sounds during a song.

- D handle, glues and varnishes => RAS

- Jumbo frets mdium => interesting for lgato and everything going on and tapping sounds nickel.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is enjoyable for those who are fond of forms known as "D" is to say plutt round. It offers a veneer of the same bill as the table which makes dmanchages sometimes a bit difficult if the hand is sweaty ... IDAL is in fact a Flying used as the coating of the handle was a little polite. Overall enjoyable but not more so "fast" because of its shape.

- CHAC in acute is an adventure for the scratch inexpriment and over time a formalized fun. Indeed, from the 17me case, dial with the thickness of the body making it impossible position "classic" of the left hand. This particular feature is not really a big problem because it is quick to take a adquate and adds to the charm of the instrument.

- Ergonomics is satisfactory although perfectible because of the positioning of buttons and slecteur. Nanmoins even when you can play in bringing the sounds (the image of Jeff Beck) with the volume knob with a little practice. The only regret is the lack of a second button Tone.

- The games sitting is an exercise in style but still possible without too much problem. Dbout rgal because it is a wonderfully instrulent is equilibrated.

SOUNDS

- Clean sounds too much slamming the mic bridge regardless of the chosen type of legalization (limit pnible for that matter). I for my part prfre use the microphone to handle this type of use. With two microphones (at the same time) or only one of the handle and a change in tonality wise, we arrive trs sounds convincing when particulirement crasis the mdiums. The sound is warm but still flexible trs.

- The distortion is a logical intrument trs ease. Micro sleeve was ACCS sounds trs imprcis fat (especially by lowering the compltement Tone), a range of fuzz sounds typs is possible. On the micro easel is another world. The distortions are sharp and with a grain prcise trs Fidler's legalization. The use of intermdiaire two microphones at the same time adding value does not Submitted in contrast to its clear.

OVERALL OPINION

In short, it is a more versatile guitar as it sounds with the sounds naturally a saturated prdisposition trs ease in record power-pop, rock, hard, mtal and blues. Touours not easy to play if you have little exprience.

Ct ratio quality / price was a guitar case fairly equitable, good violin and good finish. Attention to it once may have taken for special occasions. A purchase that I can not regret it but I think not suit a musician too used an instrument "classic" (Start or Les Paul type for example). Flying is a play on some exprience DCAL, dsoriente but so exhilarating!
