Made in China
22 boxes
2 Ibanez humbuckers of fairly average quality (the round on the mic but a lack of serious DEFINITIONS, and treble is sorely lacking teeth)
Les Paul type bridge
2 volume pots
2 pots of tonalitbr /> Lutherie trs good, mechanical good quality profile of the handle excellent (even for incredible prices), body flamed maple bindings, gloss.
The guitar is beautiful trs.

UTILIZATION

The handle is simply excellent, the profile is fairly flat (type LP-60), rosewood fingerboard trs of good quality perfect finish, bindings throughout the key frets trs fine (this I liked that I had ds in hand).
Ergonomics is the same as ES335 guitar fairly large, moderately heavy.
The Chinese are passs mates in the art of building good trs musical instruments at a price drisoire. The luthier with whom I did replace the pickups also wonders how do they get such a price.
The pickups are trs means, however, lack of large DEFINITIONS, a fawn trsdsagrable Drool, and sorely lacking teeth on the microphone acute, it is unfortunate position intermdiaire benefitted because we lose the harmonics that give micro acute as charming position neck / bridge.

SOUNDS

Grading is taking into account the original pickups.
I did just replace the pickups with two Seymour Duncan: a PAF59 SH1 and SH2 in the neck Jazz bridge. I did not choose the SH4 not to "out" of the spirit of the guitar, and to avoid the feedback as it is when even a semi-hollow. And that's just wonderful! Roundness, its just a flute neck, in the gnaque bridge and full of harmonics. I am fulfilled. I urge the two microphones. The crunch position with a TS9 Tube intermdiaire SECAM and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe is splendid. In his clear, neck position, the sound of George Benson.
10/10 I put the replacement of the microphones (with covers to keep the beauty of the object), otherwise I would put 7 / 10. Replacement cot me 220 euros all inclusive.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month.
I rvais an ES335, I tried about twenty, old, of rcentes but it's really expensive, and finishes are not gniales, not on dco the button, the tables often ugly trs (the best are kept for custom MODELS), Gibson does not care really the mouth of the world. It's a shame.
And as I walked into town, past a window, my girlfriend pointed out to me, I try, buy, play and even in the evening concert. I'm happy as a kid, especially since the addition of Seymour. My guitar teacher friend just bought the same (the jackal ...).
I highly recommend the purchase of this beautiful instrument and a great price dfiant any competition.
