UTILIZATION

Firstly it is a les paul, so heavy. In addition, she is 90 years at the time the mahogany body were not drilled. It's better for her, less well for the back ;)

The handle is huge, very thick. I think it's even bigger than that of a PRS Santana. It is not made for little hands. Against it is really enjoyable to play. Access to acute as a les paul :)

SOUNDS

The fact that the handle is enormous gives more body heat and sustain the sound. This is a guitar that vacuum is very melodious and more potato than custom. A vacuum it seems it is already plugged into the amp :) The violin is perfect.


Its side, it sounds like a standard with each side a little custom in the sound. Its very warm clear whether micro or severe acute. Besides the acute fared very well in the clear. Not aggressive and chantant.Le bridge pickup is also a success. We can play funk jazz blues on it without problem.

In overdrive she is doing very well, very bluesy.

Side saturation, it happens very easily get the sounds of Joe Perry Walk This Way (rhythm and solos). This is the only skyscraper, which since I played, I brought this sound.

The demo of my guitar is here to get a better idea:


OVERALL OPINION

I've had one week. I was looking for a les paul for 90 years because they have better wood than current. I was looking for a standard of those years having lived a little. I stumbled upon it and really I am fulfilled. It sounds really, and plus she has a great look.
