22 frets, nice.
The combination of microphones, including a Duesenberg in version P90 neck pickup and a humbucker at the bridge, is efficient and very effective! 2potards (tone / volume) and a selector 3positions complement the technical side of the guitar.
As for the bridge is a tremolo "vintage" style Bigsby, very stable, which does not interfere with the tuning.
In short, a vintage style at both the aesthetic and technical.
UTILIZATION
Next round, the frets are not really disturbing and rather pleasant, however, the handle seems to me to be quite large, which can cause problems (I myself had trouble at first) but once used to, there is taste, and likes what it offers stable side.
The shape of the guitar is all that more mundane, a Les Paul, yes, but a semi-hollow Les Paul, yet the weight is a bit lighter than a Gibson, too bad ...
Access to acute is relatively easy, I consider it even easier than on a telecaster or a Gibson, despite his 22 boxes
SOUNDS
Regarding the sound, there is much to say: As soon as I plugged in (on Line 6, in other words not the top), I immediately understood the magnitude of sound. Now I play on a Vox AC30 and the sound is very very very good! It can range from a crystal clean but POWERFUL (bridge pickup) to a clean velvety, melodic, refined and soft (neck pickup), while maintaining consistency in the sound (in the sense that change is not micro shocking). Moreover, the output level of each micro shocks do not, the P90 does its job and "almost" the same sound level as acute microwave. It's a good point that has not found everywhere!
When I boost the vox, I have exactly what I was looking for: A sound that is bold, huge for the Blues very dirty, the sound that was edgy when you boost the cleans, but it is biensur too strident. I have many distortions and overdrive, I used more specifically to a RAT, a Big Muff and a J & H at Visual Sound. The guitar really takes these pedals! She really his own, between his side and his side Gibson vintage gretsch / telecaster (especially on the neck pickup), it is rare versatility, but in addition, it does really well. Blues rock gras incisive of Pop vintage and modern, to the Ala Queen of the stone age, it's simple, it does everything (apart Hard rock, and again ...)
In summary, one can have the vintage, we can expect what you want from this guitar, it will. In addition, versatile in all, it has its own character, which is not displeasing to us.
OVERALL OPINION
I play to the indie and rock (Libertines, Arcade Fire and Arctic Monkeys), but I happen to wander into other styles (funk, blues, rockabilly), and she follows or I will, remaining unique in its sound.
It's been two and a half years that I have, I had the opportunity to test some very good guitars, e the quality of its production and sound approaches a gretsch premium would be boosted.
In addition, the aesthetic, flashy but simple, elegant but eye-catching, is very good.
This is a guitar that I recommend to everyone, even if, by imposing his personality, it is good to try it before embarking on the purchase!
In short, 10/10
