made in Indonesia but fortunately seems well made
LockTone Tune o matic bridge on the 6 strings and stopbar
handle D SlimTaper 60 medium jumbo cargo dug heel for small hands
22 frets, EMG 81 and 85 micro (active)
the settings volume and tone micro and 3 position selector, a clickable tone to cut its greenhouse

UTILIZATION

The handle is pleasant to the touch, good grip, the last boxes are available thanks to the hollow of the heel
It is well balanced, the straplocks provided maintiennes the beast in place, it is not very heavy
For sound, with emg, so this is very typical metal, but the 85 level up a little round, compared to 81 which is very sharp and cold, we'll be even a fairly diverse range of sound without either about actual heat, but luterie coupled with active pickup gives the set a certain balance. Adept big sound is a joy!
However, I put a 7 handle which can put off, and the microphone that may not be appropriate for everyone.

SOUNDS

For me sound quite appropriate for my style, we do not buy this kind of model without testing or inquire before.
level resulting sounds I mostly play the big greasy rhythm and some solo pinch harmonics come individually ^ ^ the difference between the different position and tone micro still allow some follies, it must be said even if it is far from the vintage sound, or other blues les paul, the electronic fault.
I play amp lamp blackstar ht, with a cry baby wah wah pedal and a Boss MD2 95Q ... the duo will him wonder is the distortion that makes the most of this guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

Shortly, two weeks. So in terms of models, I usually play on average, see entry level, I have two BC Rich and ex esp
Most to me is the active electronics, ergonomics les paul, I rediscovered the guitar ... Least, it might be not be released earlier
Value for money for a custom, equipped with emg I think it's honest, if we take for example the micro Zakk Wylde kit that costs 200 euros, so it gave us a good quality guitar aa roughly 300 euros without microphones which is not bad.
I would buy it again without hesitation
