Published on 02/06/11 at 03:48No details on this guitar from the logo "Home" on the head.
After research, it is a Korean brand, I know no more.
As I wanted a 335-like, I found it by chance and test surprised me: the sound of approaching so the Gibson Les Paul from a friend (in full) and with such warm tones in its clear that I did not hesitate.
As khronegon said on 08/04/2009: Tune O Matic bridge type, 22 frets, 2 humbuckers each with volume and tone, 3-position selector. In short, no originality.
The handle also seems pretty close to a Les Paul. Relatively round, flat less than my Ibanez, but thinner.
Question wood, mahogany neck seems to be screwed to the body. The body is beautiful cons-plated (looks like Ash ...), a beam inside that seems to be a collage of mahogany and maple ..
UTILIZATION
The neck is quite nice, this is not a highway, and as he is painted bright, it does not really suit the speed. Perfect for what I did: blues, rock, punk, funk, reggae, ska ...
The balance is perfect, the weight reminds us that this is a 335! A good wide strap should be well good!
At any point, it is a good copy of 335 (except bolt-on neck).
His question: you plug it sounds.
SOUNDS
As mentioned earlier, I play several styles and this is my main guitar for the punk-rock in which it excels!
According to the amp, it sounds and expresses a personal stamp pronounced very similar to a 335 mark.
Clear sound: bluesy, creamy humbucker. On the bridge pickup, treble chatter and did not lose much in accuracy, on the neck pickup it is in jazz / blues. The intermediate position is immediately think of Fender.
Overdrive: incredible because we believe with a Les Paul in his hands. Apart from the intermediate position that loses definition and clarity, the other is accurate, punchy and fat in the sustain.
It accepts all the loadings of the metal crunch through all kinds of overdrive and distortion.
Good for metal, I mean ancient metal, stoner fashion, even with good big very heavy palm muting. I do not think it would stick with more modern stuff (that I know little, anyway).
In OD with the gain that goes well, we can play with cool larsens worthy of the grunge era of 90 '.
on the other hand, with a fuzz pedal, the sound is really too rough. I recommend it.
My usual config: Marshall Guv'nor OD or OD Marshall Jackhammer in a tube amp Carvin XV 100W or a Marshall JCM900 tube too.
In addition I add a Cry Baby wah, chorus, delay. All this is fine.
So nothing truly original, but nothing that's fundamentally enjoyable that sounds!
OVERALL OPINION
I play on it for over 2 years now and I had tried a Tele Thinline that I had not been satisfied, and an Epiphone Dot that I began to consider when buying I fell for this house. I also had a Jolana Ruby, very interesting, but that had nothing to do (while half box too).
Now I think I could do without. It must still assume the size, dimensions (reverse head and neck: a flight so huge!) Weight. But at the pleasure of playing any of my other guitars can match (Stratocaster, Ibanez Musician)
The worst I had to manage, it was a head fracture during a fall. She had already been reassembled, and now a 2nd time. I do not separate any more of his foot to prevent it happening again.
Before that, she suffered from a lack of armor that I corrected after rejoining his head. Now it's delicious!
I also encountered the problem of unwanted breakdown of rope fixed with some adjustments and weaknesses in the tuning, but I saw him suffer, nothing surprising about that!
As suggested in my title, for a guitar to 150 euros, I have never been better. The perception of a good copy of the summons, with a sound identical to the original!
This is my guitar before anything else, and I do not part with it, unless you need to buy me a really better (Gretch or Gibson or other?).
