Gibson custom shop -> United States
22 frets, neck, type 1959 with binding
- The pitch is 24.75
-2 Humbucking pickups Gibson 490R + 498T
-The bridge is a Tune-o-matic, the tailpiece is Stopbar
He is the bridge pickup volume knob and one tone, like the neck pickup. And there's a 3 position selector, to select the pickups.

UTILIZATION

So the stick-type is 1959, ie a sleeve Assé large (about 4.2 cm at the head / neck). Me what type of profile suits me perfectly, I find that the handle is very pleasant to RAPORT by many other guitar in the same price range.
So, access to acute depands on several factors: the first is already so we have long fingers over it tjrs fascile. 2nd factor is the height to which it is played (mostly standing). If it's two factors are optimal, then the access is fascil, but I agree that it is not always given me a whole monde.Pour RAS.
"It's a guitar relatively large but, oh surprise, when the door is rather small and great balance.
-Sounds ... ah sounds ...
I put 9 because access to acute is not given to everyone, although for me it's not disturbing.

SOUNDS

Jazz, Blues, Rock, Pop, where does you it? well I would say wherever you want, except for death metal. Good thing it's not my style, so she fits perfectly.
-I play a marshall transition, and ca MG100HDFX form is surprisingly good set, even if the tube amp this wait ...
I was saying that it is very versatile, with the neck pickup and a clear sound on the amp is obtained jazz sounds closer to its big sister, even if not yet the c legrand. with two microphones (selector center) was sound and even more blues rock already, and when we go on the bridge pickup is perfect for rock. That's basically ...
10 -> perfect.

OVERALL OPINION

-Ca is barely one month that I ais
-I like its shape, its handle very pleasant. I believe there is anything that displeases me on this instrument.
"I first tried the low-end model, I remember the models, but it was an Ibanez and a half box as Cort, and it is useless to say but it has nothing to see. Then I tried the new model of es-339, more than the first version, and I was on it. Then I came across it. I have not looked further.
- It's expensive, it is Gibson custom shop more. But the quality is at the appointment. I honestly looked for default, finishes rotten, the only one I found was dériere the shield: there a pe avai avai glue that sank below, I sanded, there is nothing voi .
-If I lose, I do it again this choice, but if I had venai buy a new guitar, I will still not the same ...
