This guitar appears to have been assembled in Canada and the other parts were probably imports but I don't know for sure. You can tell it's Canadian from the Robinson screws.
Pickups are single single humbucker which can be split. 1 volume 2 tone. passive. No idea what kind of wood but it's just basically ply constructed. Strat shaped body.
There is a floyd rose brige but no lock nut.
average sized neck.

The sound of this guitar amazed me for the price. It has a very agressive tone and would be good for alt rock, punk, maybe even heavy metal. I tried it with a Tube Works amp. The only critizisms are that with an overdrive pedal and distortion on the neck pickup feeds back REALLY easily but the rest are fine. Also, the humbucker splitter is absolutely retarded. it sounds like crap in single coil mode and is absolutly useless.

No Opinion
I bought this guitar second hand so I can't really comment on it as I bought it from a bone head that treated it like shit. It can be fixed but I will just sell it to make a profit instead. I think the tuners might suck but I can be sure because there are other things throwing off the tuning.

Judging by the condition of it now, it's probably not that durable. But so long as you don't treat it rough like the moron I bought it from did, it should last till you want to buy a better guitar.

I've only had it 2 days and I plan to sell it and make some money off it. Overall, it's a great first guitar or beater guitar for practises etc.

If you want a lot price guitar I suggest "El Degas"! It's a very complete guitar with a lot of options (2 tone, 4 pickup, volume)...
The bridge is a Floyd Rose that goes very well. The body is solid... I Think tihs guitar is made in canada...

For this category I think El-degas loose points... All the the wetal is oxydize and the guitar mostly loose is tuning. The pickup selector make a lot of noise but the wood is really good...

For a hobby I'm sure that you will like this kind of guitar, because the price is very low for good quality and good sound. I hope that one day they will make a website and give information about their guitar. Simon www.geocities.com/simchose/ (for guitar tabs and music! ...in french)
