Features
:
9
22 Jumbo frets. 2 alnico humbuckers The body is 2 pieces. Glossy finish on what is actually a great looking SG. It's got 2 volume knobs, 1 tone knobs and a three way selector. Tune o matic bridge.
Basswood body, maple neck (very cool)
chromed parts very cool looking, nice black glossy finish.
Looks like a superior category of guitar, at least like an epiphone, wich cost much more.
Sound
:
9
I play rock hard rock and my favourites are scorpions guns ac/dc aerosmith and stuff like that, i play in a group and what i need is versatility but always in the rock stuff..
used with a transistor cabinet and marshal JSM 800 combo (2 channels) no noise at all rich sound but noot bright expecially with the neck stock pickup wich is useless..too much muddy can't find a reasonable tone expecially on clean. bridge stock pickup does is work but it's not great , but i can say good for the price. anyway i can give 3 for the neck and 6,5 for the bridge stock picups, but you can't use that in a live situation, just at home.
Once i've replaced the pickups with Seymour duncan 59 at neck and JB at bridge..great this guitar has the tone! very aggressive and warm sound the new pickup really change the situation and made this a good guitar even to play live! i compared this with my gibson SG (also wit seymour duncans) and yes, it's not the same sound, the coxx had less tone and sound less than the gibson but was even more aggressive thanks to the JB in the bridge! i can say it very similar tone, more "light" than SG but perfect for hard rock.
the 9 is for the sound with the SD pickups

action really high when i firts tried the guitar, except for that everything looks good. set-up made by liuther, then a low action suitable for my style of play.
Reliability/Durability
:
8
seem to be real good for the price, the best thing is that can take really good intonation and tone. the tuners are really good considering the cost of the guitar they are almost close to grovers, not like that but not so far. it's hard find or impossible i think to find tuners like a cheap guitar. perfect for backup guitar once you have changet the pickups
