UTILIZATION

Extensively tested in the store
Super comfortable as if I knew for a long time
Slim tapper neck, close enough, very easy
Light guitar that I play only on semi hollow heavy enough.
Format a + small + large and ES335 ES 339 a
Very comfortable, easy to handle
Black Richlite composite key, you do not feel or see the difference with ebony

SOUNDS

Sounds powerful, airy, dynamic sound "right",
not as an ES 335, not an LP, not a 339 apart. Unique in its kind
Perfect for blues, jazz and rock.
Versatile
All play guitar
In a tube amp, it sends wood

OVERALL OPINION

It is now my number one guitar.
I had lots of guitars for 10 years, including high-end
çi that, I have nothing to reproach him, and it did not cost a kidney
The design is perfect binding that covers the frets, very neat,
super beautiful deco diamond headstock with the burst,
atypical look, very good build quality.
My luthier was very surprised by the quality, the look, the price.
Excellent value for money. Do not miss it. Now hard to find in some color.
