The top of the Chinese made entry level Universe series, this model is a Sire slayer: sounds great, plays smoothly, is versatile, looks beatiful and is about half the price at only 74000jpy new.
Pickups and preamp are Bacchus OEM and sound great, comparable to Sire.
The hardware is simple but functional with die cast nickel plated bridge, and cut and pressed nickel Music-Man style tuning pegs.
NOTE: recent universe series guitars are now fully setup and qc checked in Japan.
