Value For Money : Excellent
The Chinese version of a MODEL of legends ... But we have known for a long time now that the Chinese are able to do good things, the evidence.
Two P90 pickups Epiphone, a three-position switch, 2 tone 2 volume standard.
22 frets, with a rather thick neck, the cot "buche" that has often criticized Gibby and Epi, well we like it or not I will come back later.
The wood and finish are superb, and I never tire of this look rtro scratches.
Finally, a big BMOL for mcaniques that are unworthy of a guitar of this price. The vintage look is a wish, the quality leaves compltement adsirer, and sometimes the tuning is fairly "Prilleux", which is heavily down my bill. We will review the changes these things when I say for the stuff mcaniques srieux

UTILIZATION

For usability, it is conventional for this type of guitar, we like it or not I love it. Assis, a real pleasure. Standing, I find it a bit "heavy round of" but it does not impede, and it is really comfortable.
Access in acute ... It's okay, but it is not the purpose of this guitar. Schredders speeders and other admirers of Vai / Satriani / Malsteem pass the road is not for you ... The handle is a "buche" thick and not at all done for solos nervous. But as I play blues rock rhythm rather in and support that fits me well ... trs I descend when the same note a 7 because the handle.
on the other hand with this guitar I want to talk about "feel" of games that I did not on others. This guitar vibrate thunder, and with the forearm against al though the body and the belly is the rear, you'll definitely "feel alive" feeling that you lose a little with the solid body ...
Small dtail I forget which is surprising to beginners: It's a quarter of a box without central beam, giving a strong tendency to rev on feedback from ... Ca feat but can be used:)

SOUNDS

For sound, well it seems made for the blues. The P90 are cruncher dlicieusement my Night Train without having to push the gain. In clean, no need to add reverb, the sound is quite nice to him even. Serious, warm, well Dfine. In crunch I love dj said. For large distos, I use not not believe ...
It is often criticize the Epiphone pickups, the P90 "dog ear" seem to me entirely convincing, and for once I do not want to change, even after a year of using this guitar

OVERALL OPINION

I last year, owns and I used a lot. It seems to me a good report quality price for a MODEL of what I call "mid-range". In short she really has a personality first, and although my complte my Start and PRS SE.
So I should not duplicate that choice, I would have the means to offer me an ES 335, but it is not tomorrow the day before:)
