LTD PS-1

Made in Indonesia - suddenly I have no Chinese made guitar
2 HB, 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-position switch 1
So classic
rather end bolt-on neck or very late in thickness, but standard width
very nice finish
2 small flaws: at the laying of the saddle a bit hard and the key junction / case, but that is only seen by the person who plays
unlike the front and back with all the finishes are nickel (hearing, binding, varnish, stain, handle) - no complaints
the color is gorgeous, the shape a bit special is beautiful
a guitar that is immediately noticed among the other

UTILIZATION

the handle is very easy to play, anything goes
the junction body / neck is particularly successful with a small heel and a cut through the body that provides great access to acute
as semi-hollow guitar particularly light
for her, this is classic, so easy to handle

SOUNDS

carved guitar for rock and blues-rock with a good big sound
the pickups are good, high output, so it pulls in the crunch soon tube amps
sounds pulling down medium with a neck pickup even in very low
this is not high end, so it quickly becomes rough with a lot of gain, but they do their job if they do not ask them more
I personally like it because it's very different from what I already
for funk, go your way

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one month, so I will refine my opinion over time
I tried a lot before choosing to complete my arsenal (ie: PRS SE Custom 24 with SD SH2 and SH4 - Tele Thinline - Fender Mustang Pawnshop)
Most:
- The weight (very important to me)
- The mouth and finishing
- The very rock sound
- Playability and ergonomics
- Fun
- Price
Cons:
- Some small insignificant details of finishes for me
- Lack of finesse in the sound, but for that I have other guitars
- In a small room in high volume and repeat -> feedback (logical given the semi-hollow) -> to avoid (but no worries in a large room or on stage yet)
- We envy me: D

for the price, it is really bluffing
to see how it ages, but it is hanging on the wall in a well ventilated and heated and I'm pretty careful

Made in Korea. 22 frets, 2 humbuckers, 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-position selector. Superb finishes, no complaints, it's clean and well done. There is concern for a sham "you've seen-it-brand-of-my-skyscraper," ESP has a logo on the back of the head. The hearing is the way jazz guitar great effect, even if it is (apparently) only decorative because it is not hollow across this guitar! It is still good solid and the atypical form of the head is pretty well found. There is a version with Bigsby I would have liked to find in France, but alas ... it will still go elsewhere!

UTILIZATION

Round black lacquer nice, very thick frets (you have to want to curl an agreement !!!!).
Rearranged in the form Lespaul ESP is super nice, but aficionados of ultra sharp solos will be a little embarrassed to reach the lower strings. As I am not one, so I find the game very easy. It is not too heavy, can be a little unbalanced (head and handle heavier), but honestly, that this embarrassment on?

SOUNDS

Sounds quite frank and thick, unlike the microphones hear is more clear than in his full, at least on an amp like mine (H & K Attax 80, super versatile). You really have to strain to hear noise, it's super clean. Little regret for the tone settings, because here we are not in the half tone is full blast or nothing at all, it's a shame not to be more specific in this setting. But she has a great advantage due to the handle stuck: it has a great sustain! For my part I play indie stuff pretty close with the sounds of Sigur Ros, Portishead, Buckley, so with lots of reverb, tremolo, delay, fuzz ... and it sounds great (especially for the Buckley).

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few weeks, I love his style, which worked a little dust off Lespaul shape with a hollow handle rearward and lower body asymmetric (type Jaguar), a head "wave" very pretty, good mother of pearl inlays, all with aspects of jazz guitar.

A small regret on setting the tone, that's all I had against him.

And not really expensive because I found it at 450 euros on a french site.

I would do this choice, but to beat a dead horse with Bigsby Degotte version is beautiful too.
