Best value:
Correct
The characteristics given below are good, not very useful to repeat ...
UTILIZATION
"The fact whether or not it fun to play is in everyone's tastes. Like the ES form and I love playing this guitar. Note that the game is not sitting very comfortable given the size of the guitar. It is true to a 335.
A note-holding agreement guitar, mine in any case: rather bad, it moves a lot in winter when there are variations in heat, where my guitar does not move Groover absolutely not (price range slightly higher). I am considering a change of mechanical medium term, assuming that the "problem" comes from there. It's not really bad, but hopefully a better guitar at 550 euros.
-The finish is very good. It's a very, very beautiful guitar. The model has a painted red translucent revealing the wood, all being really nice (the black model which I did not have this advantage, we can not see the wood underneath). In terms of aesthetics, it is my opinion more beautiful than a Sheraton, and is approaching the levels of color and shape of the Gibson 335.
SOUNDS
I play blues, rock and hard rock (not very bad though) with my Needles & Pins, it behaves very, very, very well. The sounds are good, it is undeniable, and here it is pretty much its price.
I played on a Studiotone Koch, an amp that is among others known for its excellent clean sound and honestly ... I find the clean sound excellent with N & P, contrary to the opinion expressed above. I think it deserves, and even that it "needs" of a quality tube amp. I have a little Vox DA5 also, and unsurprisingly it does not sound terrible to clean.
The pickups are correct. But contrary to what the Custom 77 suggests, they are not sick either microphones (sold 70 euros each on their website, I think it's worth it). In the longer term, I will change by a pair of Seymour Duncan SH55 (Seth Lover).
OVERALL OPINION
If we except the sound is a guitar that is quite appropriate in a price range 500-600 euros: nice, good finishes, comfort, all without reaching the high end.
Taking into account the sounds, then we can say that it is really, really prize. The half-boxes are among the guitars less easy to achieve, we are dealing with a Q / P is very interesting.
Before buying I tested and compared with the Sheraton II. It is a tad more expensive than the Epiphone, but I think it sounds better, and I find most beautiful.
I put my 7 / 10, which is a good rating (no, I'm not part of users trying to convince themselves that the product they just bought is great ... the average grade products should be 5 or 6, not 9.5 ...)
I recommend this guitar to any guitarist looking for a very nice half case without the desire or budget for a Gibson 335 4 times more expensive (I do not question the price Gibson, the 335 is clearly an excellent guitar)
In conclusion, N & P is clearly the coup: she has a mouth, it is nice to play it sounds.
