Value For Money : Excellent
It seems like a Japanese, but as full of Epiphone are made in Korea ... In short: it&#39;s a baritone tune "short" (27 "against 29" 7 for Fender Bass VI and Danelectro&#39;s) It was set up which seems to be granted in "If" <span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS,Lucida Sans Unicode;">(BEADF?</span> B) C is the hardware of a Epiphone Les Paul Classic with a Tune-o-Matic and all the fuss. A special mention for: Mechanical grover well made. The quality seems good Plutt, at least mine that I bought used and has morfl svrement retains a holding of perfect agreement, the strings do not curl, etc.. Two Alnico V humbuckers with slecteur three positions and two volume knobs / Tone is not a versatile crazy but it&#39;s easy to change. My fellow specialist in micro you say she sounds better with real Gibson 490, I&#39;ll tell you when I have done. Besides playing the guitar is well finished, simple, straight and without embellishment. Well, she is beautiful, this guitar, especially in white and one I have, with the cross http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/2/4/4/275244.jpg APRS , must love the genre clich all hardware black, black back of the guitar, etc..

UTILIZATION

The handle is a good old big stick al mahogany Les Paul, I love forever. It is more "manageable" than other baritone that I tried because of his pitch is shorter and very comfortable Reveals open chords. A curiosity on my own, there is no repre touch on the handle but just on the ct does not hinder it&#39;s just amazing. Ergonomics ... Well, if you&#39;re a bodybuilder of 1m95 you find good. If you&#39;re a normal human, you will find it a bit heavy, the woman, but as they say sustain was not out of anything that says so mahogany box full PSE I said two tonnes. CASC to treble and everything else, how to say it&#39;s a big Les Paul is not a BC Rich Kerry King. About Sustain, I do not know where some are seeking alls that this guitar does not sustain: mine takes note of the hours is endless fun to play arpges tr s very very slowly above.

SOUNDS

And about her I do not share the opinion of any Tonioux below for clear sound. These are humbuckers, pickups, so obviously it&#39;s not very crystalline, cons by the clean sound is really excellent and thanks to sustain above-mentioned any rverbe spring gives its impressive size. And then ... At the risk of surprising you, I think the humbuckers pteux rang in his baritone on saturated, even if it&#39;s less true in the tuning of Si: so if you like fat, slow, sticky, drone / doom is okay, if you want something a bit more stoner / vintage, I advise you to ensure that the humbuckers are split-(or buy a Danelectro, cf. I think on Danelectro baritone). Finally, we may recall my grandma&#39;s advice: if the guitar too saturated lamps pramplification when you attack the strings really ... Ben simply lower the volume General for guitar <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" /> To summarize my astonishment and persistent, I hardly plays in his "bright" (read: non-saturated graaaaave, post rock, etc..) Baritone on this, I do a lot of arpges and open chords, and I think she sounds incredibly well with the hardware yet that seems not to be destiny AT ALL (Fender Champion 600, Spring Reverb Danelectro, Vox ToneLab). She did so well my Danelectro adjuncts that since I have both I do not touch my guitars never "normal." A word of large sounds is intended that metal I think this big guitar on the simulations I usually including Peavey Revalver, it sounds as serious and as sticky ncessaire ... But me I prefer the association drop D guitar / bass 5 string that I intended to baritone sounds especially clear case of taste.

OVERALL OPINION

On this guitar, I like his physical beauty, I know it&#39;s wrong but it does. I like the all black hardware and I am very surprised to love as much clean sounds that come out of this greasy guitar. I&#39;ve had LATEST week, I will change my opinion over time as I usually do. Given the price I paid (250 euros a share it on Ibaille lately) is an excellent report qualitprix particularly because of the quality of the hardware and the quality of the Violin . on the other hand, it heavier than a PSE does, which does not hinder me as I sat and I love playing the guitar heavy (in all senses). I think the final comparison will be made when I tried a Gretsch Electromatic Baritone, which is not quite in the same price range and will one day <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
