Sorry for my bad english, but I think you will understand it. I want to improve my English, when you read this report please sent me an e-mail and rate it.
The guitar I'm writing about is a Vester "Charm Standard". I bought it in spring 2003 for 400 Euro. The instrument I bought is tuned with a "Motherbucker" (a 4-coil pickup in humbucker-size) in bridge position but I think the guitar seller did that, normally it should have two humbuckers.
The color is a beautiful red sunburst at the front and the flipside is a dark red. The neck is screwed, it has 22 frets and bird inlays, the mechanics are golden. The circuit is like a Les Paul (with a three-way selector) and I think that's the same as the model it's based on, the Paul Reed Smith Guitar. It has one volume and one tone poti. unfortunately it hasn't got a whammy bar.
Sound
:

The sound is roughly like a Les Paul. I never played on a real PRS but if I for example listen to Carlos Santana who playes a PRS I think the Charm Standard absolutely sounds like the PRS model. Not as balanced and briliant as its model but for its price all right.

Aside from the bridge with isn't well screwed the finish is well.
Reliability/Durability
:

I don't play on may guitar every day but about 4 to 10 hours a week and after one year I own it it's aside from some scratches as good as new.

As a semi-professional player without a lot of money I'm completly satified with this guitar.
