UTILIZATION

The handle is a 50, I like. Good grip and feel lgret from a solid body.
Access in acute is correct (as Les Paul).
Sitting or standing, she breathes the balance.
About the sounds (see below), the range is wide, and microphones are DEFINITIONS approach to addressing many styles, without contone to jazz or blues, as suggested by the shape of the guitar .
One branch has rings.

SOUNDS

I am a regular Les Paul, and this is my Premire "half box".
The grip is natural. The weight seems to have t divided by 10.
I expected a round typ jazz, and when I plugged the guitar, I let myself go and play with fingers and then to an amp on mdiator lamps, clear sound, then the grement crunch. Until the image reflected the Ralite ...
In deuxime time I tried the unthinkable: It took me a boost and the distortion, the guitar seemed perfectly in lment I continuously increase the level of saturation. The beautiful does not s'meut and rpond like clockwork. I forget all my pictures of semi-hollow guitar wise and polishes, and I loose the big sound hard. I think she will cry for mercy, but instead, it returns its a bold and beautifully Dfine, with an extraordinary sustain .... I imagine playing with BB King Highway to Hell.
This is an es 137 Les Paul without the weight, and with and sustain DEFINITIONS madness.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for a year, and I do not regret m'tre of adventure on the uncharted territory of the semi-boxes.
In del clichés, it's a guitar rpond Submitted all situations.
It does not shred the look or size mannequin of some of his comrades, but it has sound and is carrment endearing.
Surprisingly Gibson, who hides his game
Premire Derrire its pace of the class, it is all ready-eccentricity, if you accptez his overweight (over a les paul, largely compensated by the loss of weight) its discrtion.
A scraper to play all through the night.
