Lfalex v1.1 Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Me no understandee guitaree... However... My mate with whom I was in a band for 3 years had a Korean one in Islington Blue (like a sort of Sonic Blue or Daphne Blue) We spent ages trying various instruments, and 6 of these! They all seemed pretty similar. Fretwork was universally good, as was the finish. My friend was quite slight, and only had small hands. At no point did he struggle with either the weight or the neck profile. The Marquee he had was tonally like a thicker, smoother sounding Strat, and had really good sustain. I don't know what strings he used, D'Addario, I think- certainly nothing exotic. In 3 years of rehearsal and gigging, it didn't let him down once. Actually, nor did any of my basses! Shame I can't say that for my various amplifiers... Hope that helps a bit. Have a look at the reviews on Harmony Central? Quote
