    All t said above, except that mine is Black color, model Sonex 180 81. Oh there are some scratches left and right, but frankly gave him more cachet that all these gibson standard coming out of the chain at Gibson.

    USE

    The handle is thick like a gibson and little smoother. Basically if you are habitus play on a track like Ibanez takeoff, go your way. This is a handle typ gibson for big paws, a little slow, but very pleasant and comfortable to play. I love it.

    USE

    The handle is thick like a gibson and little smoother. Basically if you are habitus play on a track like Ibanez takeoff, go your way. This is a handle typ gibson for big paws, a little slow, but very pleasant and comfortable to play. I love it.
    Ergonomics are good and it has a label DPIT "economy" a great feeling, difficult to explain in words or technical specifications. It is therefore important to have a heavy brittle back, but the blows against it possde a truly enjoyable sustain, a genre still thundering drive. Although rgle is the rgal and including taking the comparison face much more dear scratch.
    On the branch and in anything and sounds great.

    SONORITS

    The comparison was made by connecting a ABY on a twin and the other side on a branch a special tl Southwestern (the hollow one I do not know the exact name).
    In short, Gibson sounds like a dad who smoke fags and sings like tom waits and fender sounded like a little puppy. Cute, but we know that is the shovel dad.
    I played on twin, jr blues, double mesa rec and each time, it sounds good, clear or distortion or trafiqus sounds of space. Guys who say it sounds like crap did that go and do rgler with their maker or discard. Mine sounds versatile and each time I tell myself that I made the right choice.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    4 years.
    I bought ochanumizu, the Tokyo District guitars telling me I was going to buy a fender jap or bunny or a Greek, but they all sounded way blah, treble pickups survolts not hyper imbalances, few feel and too polished, too well varnished, such as for you my oh sublime varnishes and my table in maple how pretty she is and besides i was in Japan, the country in essence o they love the pretty guitars, but except that when I have a guitar in his hands, I find the trick over if I want to let go or if I want to keep playing and if it has face. And overall, I think she has a face that others do not, and I think it is some co sries today released a Gibson equivalent price. When all the little guys who think it's ugly, "because it is co" and "it not sound good" because it is a joint guitar, did that ask 1 if it is rgle and 2 if they play the guitar just to say "did you see is the replica of the SG angus, great huh." See for yourself.

    Everything has been said above, except that mine is Black color model Sonex 180 81. Oh there are some scratches on the right and left, but frankly it gives it more style than these standard gibson out the chain from gibson.

    UTILIZATION

    The neck is thick like a gibson and somewhat smooth. Basically if you are used to playing on a runway Ibanez guy, go your way. This is a typical gibson handle for large paws, a little slow, but very comfortable and enjoyable to play. I love it.
    The ergonomics are good and it has a label in spite of "economy" a great feeling, hard to explain in words or technical characteristics. It is heavy so should not have a fragile back, but against the blows…

    The ergonomics are good and it has a label in spite of "economy" a great feeling, hard to explain in words or technical characteristics. It is heavy so should not have a fragile back, but against the blows it has really nice sustain, a kind of drive is always amazing. Properly adjusted, it's delicious and including taking the comparison face scratch more dear.
    One branch and anything and it sounds great.

    SOUNDS

    We did the comparison by connecting a ABY a twin and the other side was connected to a TV special Southwestern (a hollow there, I do not know the exact name).
    In short, the gibson sounds like a dad who smoked cigarettes and who sings like Tom Waits and fender sounded like a little puppy. Cute, but you know who is the father shovel.
    I played twin, blues jr, mesa dual rec and each time it sounds good, light or sound distortion or tampered space. The guys who say it sounds like crap simply have to go to the set with their maker or discard. Mine sounds versatile and each time I tell myself that I made the right choice.

    OVERALL OPINION

    4 years.
    I bought ochanumizu the neighborhood guitars Tokyo telling me that I was going to buy a fender jap or bunny or a Greek, but they all sounded way bof, microphones acute overexcited and not hyper balanced little feel, and too polished, too much varnish, you have to kind oh my nail and my sublime maple top as she is pretty and I was more in Japan, the country where they inherently love pretty guitars, but except when I have a guitar in my hands, I judge the thing over if I want to let go, or if I want to continue to play and if it has the mouth. And overall, I think she has a mouth that others do not and it is I think some eco series coming out today at a price equivalent to Gibson. When all the little guys who think she's ugly, "because it is eco" and "it sounds wrong" because it is an eco guitar, just have to wonder if one It is set and 2 if they play guitar just to say "you saw is the replica of the SG Angus, great huh." See for yourself.

    SOUNDS

    Then the children attention, the scratching sounds of a Manir Gibson should be ashamed. It is frankly no joy. Microphones hang the guitar vibrates faster and much sustain despite ridicule. Poverty harmonic extraordinary for the price which one els is in time. This gives your sound nasal trs medium. No articulation of sound in phrass els, made poor trs attack. Yet the pickups are not bad. I do like his little aps m ^ me if a dglingue sounds good as a field to the bottleneck. But it's really the glorious aps. especially al the poverty and sustain is amazing. You'd swear a scratch supermarkets.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I do not use it but a friend has one and I rgulirement mumuse above.
    What I like most is the look, Miss is terribly nice I think. What I like least is not any prs el rest.
    If I mail a notice as it has in ractino face charges for the sale of the instrument used. It's outright theft. One should ask aps dcemment over 250 euros for such a thing, much to put it on the wall.
    The price is rapprot quality sucks, insolently. A skyscraper sold for beginners aprcequ'elle a Gibson logo on the head but that is not even an epiphone copy as it sounds a little and does nothing to epiphone opportunity could bring . Really, do not buy if a 'nest to collect or do not mumuse. It is unreliable, fragile, not ring ...
    I put 2 because it's nice and in a collectino is a nice pice of plasique and a grate which Gibson plutt shame 'cest serves them right!

    I'll add that the original pickups are definitely not top but with real sound of thunder AC Micro (cf: see below)

    UTILIZATION

    Quick. Very enjoyable round. Here I use the 5 years that I scratch t given by my uncle and I find sincrement gnial. After we like it or not but it's nice to know tj how it is to play on a Sonex.

    Access in acute is easy and enjoyable.

    For audio, you just get it easily if they have fired a micro factory.

    5 years on the Sonex Bonnheure

    OVERALL OPINION

    As prcdement say, here is what I use 5 anne MODEL and I never dcu t by it. Its me its totally agree with me and my style of music. His style and his cot rtro fairly rare (the Sonex is making 81 to 84 and a deluxe 83-84) make a skyscraper has possd for lovers of guitar.
    For a skyscraper that will become a few years a real pice of a collection Entish RAPORT the quality price is really interesting I think. However prfr the deluxe to normal, better now finished, much more enjoyable.

    Now do I do it again the same choice?? Although recess, despite atlcaster fender, I can not forget a sweet note with my singing out soxex Deluxe, a must for me the low end (the taste and color ...)
