Features : 5
No idea what year it was made in but it comes from Korea apparently.21 fret with two tone controls and a volume and a 3-way selector switch. S/S/S pickups which have stacked pole pieces but no idea what they are. Basswood body methinks with maple neck and rosewood f'board. It's in a kinda Fender Jaguar style body but with Strat style controls and electronics. Creamy coloured body with tobacco swirl scratchplate which is kinda cool.

Sound : 7
I've got a grungy/alternative style and it works pretty well for this as i can thrash at the strings. I use it with a Marshall Valvestate and it works fine although the tone is hard to control due to the fiddly controls and so it sounds a bit muddy sometimes. There is quite a lot of variation between the sounds of each pickup and with the right settings this guitar can produce a good, hard sound,

Action, Fit, & Finish : 3
The guitar was set up really badly when i bought it and so i had to spend a lot of time setting the intonation,action and pickups to my satisfaction. The finish on the guitar is badly chipped and scratched but everything else is fine.

Reliability/Durability : 4
I've used this guitar once live but only for a few songs as the guitar doesn't tune very well but the hardware and the finish seem like they could stand up to a lot of torture(seems like they already had when i bought it!)As this is my backup guitar i wouldn't depend on it but in an emergency i reckon i could cope.

Customer Support : No Opinion
N/A never dealt with them.

Overall Rating : 6
I've been playing for 4 years and i regualy gig and so i needed a backup guitar to compliment my Strat. I wouldn't be too bothered if it were nicked but it is a pretty cool guitar and i've never seen another like it.
