Made in Korea. 22 frets, 2 humbuckers, 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-position selector. Superb finishes, no complaints, it's clean and well done. There is concern for a sham "you've seen-it-brand-of-my-skyscraper," ESP has a logo on the back of the head. The hearing is the way jazz guitar great effect, even if it is (apparently) only decorative because it is not hollow across this guitar! It is still good solid and the atypical form of the head is pretty well found. There is a version with Bigsby I would have liked to find in France, but alas ... it will still go elsewhere!

UTILIZATION

Round black lacquer nice, very thick frets (you have to want to curl an agreement !!!!).
Rearranged in the form Lespaul ESP is super nice, but aficionados of ultra sharp solos will be a little embarrassed to reach the lower strings. As I am not one, so I find the game very easy. It is not too heavy, can be a little unbalanced (head and handle heavier), but honestly, that this embarrassment on?

SOUNDS

Sounds quite frank and thick, unlike the microphones hear is more clear than in his full, at least on an amp like mine (H & K Attax 80, super versatile). You really have to strain to hear noise, it's super clean. Little regret for the tone settings, because here we are not in the half tone is full blast or nothing at all, it's a shame not to be more specific in this setting. But she has a great advantage due to the handle stuck: it has a great sustain! For my part I play indie stuff pretty close with the sounds of Sigur Ros, Portishead, Buckley, so with lots of reverb, tremolo, delay, fuzz ... and it sounds great (especially for the Buckley).

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few weeks, I love his style, which worked a little dust off Lespaul shape with a hollow handle rearward and lower body asymmetric (type Jaguar), a head "wave" very pretty, good mother of pearl inlays, all with aspects of jazz guitar.

A small regret on setting the tone, that's all I had against him.

And not really expensive because I found it at 450 euros on a french site.

I would do this choice, but to beat a dead horse with Bigsby Degotte version is beautiful too.
