Made in the USA is marked so I guess it's not for nothing

Tune-O-Matic, stop tailpiece and bar, it's good stuff

I expected a real handle lumberjack, a crazy thing, but in fact it is very comfortable, it was well in hand (sympa. ..) and can shred even without speed limits will remain in the ca domain of the quite possible

22 frets, 2 humbuckers I do not know the name but couillus, 2 volumes (1 per microphone) a general tone and a 3 position switch

I put 10 because the arrangement of settings is really + classes on the new Flying V, and separated from the jack plate is more cool 8)

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, well rounded but very comfortable, we walk by forgetting what made it so good!

The weight! ouch! it is heavy even when the guy, but as it is well balanced it is ok. Even predict when a strap wide enough to not suffer during the concerts of 2:30!

And negative for the holding of agreement is common on Gibson this problem, it's boring sometimes.

Access to super sharp, saw cutting of the body

Pickups couillus with hair around, must prepare!

SOUNDS

I used it for my old band pop-rock, just for my group of hard-rock, and even for my rockabilly trio!

She is doing bcp in style (clean sounds are not its strong point given the power of microphones), the sound is rather large because the mids stand out a bit less with the microphones, so sounds brilliant, not so much, but it ' is not what you asked!
It is rather a Hardos scratches, but it does its job excellently well in the blues, rockabilly and even in the (ac missing hair dany brilliant but it works well)!

I play on an Ashdown Fallen Angel 60DSP, no effects, and AC out very well!

For rockab ', put 2 microphones and a very light crunch with a lot of sharp =)

OVERALL OPINION

It's been almost 2 years that I have, and it is not a wrinkle, except the bridge which loses a little color gold because of the right hand ^ ^

I tried bcp guitar, I even hesitated between this one and a double neck SG, but this one was a lil piece of dream
What I like most is the form class too! And the least, holding agreement obliges Gibson

I would say it is expensive anyway, new to 2000 €, maybe it could lose a bit in price, but it is a limited edition anyway! And it sounds! And lagueule!

JREF this choice certainly.
