-Factory in China (Qing dao) in April 2005.
-22 Frets, 2 vintage alnico humbuckers without covers, black hardware, mechanical good-quality red tomatoes (do not laugh!).
-Laminated mahogany body (and not rolled as in the Saddle dot, period! I noticed this error in a lot of descriptions, so I compared with the dot "normal" my girlfriend utiliss and woods are not the same!), mahogany set neck gibson type, rosewood fingerboard with no inlays (but are still listed on the profile of Submitted sleeve!). A nice style!
-1 Volume, 1 Tone 1 slecteur 3 positions.

UTILIZATION

-The handle is enjoyable for the little that you are not allergic to sleeves typs gibson. A priori, no problem!
-L 'treble for CSTA is easy, easier than on my les paul in any case because of its shape symtrique!
It forms a gnreuses fairly bulky! It is a bit heavy too, but trs enjoyable play, and not uncomfortable at all!
I played on a Vox amp VR30r hybrid, and we go from rock n 'roll Berry classic pop of the Beatles without any problem! The hard rock seventies is also totally practical! I do not know what' it applies to the metal, perhaps someone can help me?
In any case, no frills, the 2 knobs allow you to change just the sound of that studio dot, but lesrglages complex and difficult prcis snt (the absence of the other 2 knobs!). However, I do not find this simplicity so disabling that

SOUNDS

The micro-Epiphonesouvent reviews and I agree with you often right (I changed those of my les paul custom pickups for a set of Seymour Duncan Hot Rod) trs work here! The output level of these microphones is a bit lower than that of my les paul duncan but suprieurs are those installed on the same les paul origin. Moreover, the output level of my dot studio is larger than the dot "standard" of my girlfriend! The sound is a signature diffrent, microphones andTHE wood utiliss diffrnts as (a slightly more fat and round may be ...). I do not know if the places of manufacture are for something, well qu'n say the benefit of the plant qing dao (EE on the n of SERIES).
-A more blues postion rhythm, slightly nasal in treble, trs trs cool in maisfranchement intermdiaire in clear channel, with the right amount of fat, sustain, sharp curves and trs ds satisfactory, not to mention the wealth of its own in the semi-boxes.

OVERALL OPINION

-Used for 2 months.
Colors available-just coming out of the ordinary, more "pop" as the classic cherry red or sunburst!
nb: red tomato I chose the default makes much better in person than on diffrent phtos I could find on the web! enjoyable surprise!
The quality-price ratio t for me the main reason for this purchase! 199 euros in new leadguitars on the web, colors available in this price leseul red tomato.
frankly, I think it's a big deal! The classic dot my opinion is no better than the studio but diffrent dot, a little guy, but a little less versatile. There are all the same which makes the charm for a price of 335 drisoire! Complment it comes to my cot paulcustom me four times cheravec change pickups, diff reference price which does not seem as justified!
-I srement remake that choice, since the 2nd guitar satisfies me almost as much as my 1st guitar is much more expensive and whose j'tais dj rev happy!
