Good working tool
Standout advantages:
- appearance (looks better in real life than in the photo)
- tremolo for fan frets and 7 strings, has several tuning options and stays in tune well
- universal pickups
- good materials (reliable and pleasant)
- good weight for 7 strings
Cons:
- not ideal build quality
- not an ideal tremolo system
- not the largest set of pickup combinations
About the build quality:
- My instrument came with grooves under the 2nd and 3rd strings at the 0th fret. Sometimes on bends you hear the sound of a string jumping out of the groove.
- Tremolo from a problem batch, in which the design of the tremolo arm holder can become loose and prevent the tremolo from working. Easily fixed with glue, but for a musical instrument in this price category it is unpleasant
- In my case, the tremolo arm mounting nut was not yet tightened to the required angle. Its corner did not fit into the recess in the tree.
- The tremolo itself has several configuration options: two options for the location of the rotation point and the ability to install the required number of springs. I wanted a flutter effect and a deep tremolo range. To do this, it was necessary to simultaneously shift the point of rotation and leave two springs. With standard springs it was not possible to achieve the desired effect (with the screws tightened to the maximum and the springs at an angle, the tremolo was not quite parallel to the body). I had to buy FU-Tone Purple springs - they coped with the task when placing the springs in parallel, as a bonus - they matched the color perfectly
As a result - a good musical instrument, a good working tool, an excellent set of modern technological solutions, but not perfect from the factory.
