Best value:
Excellent
- In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
Guitar Made in Japan
- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
22 frets Mahogany body, Mahogany neck, maple table (mine is very nice), 2 microphones Designed by Gibson
- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
A bridge Stop bar tailpiece and Tune o Matic, Grover oil bath
- What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
2 volume, 2 tone, 3-position selector
- What type of race?
A log that is good in the hand of the woodsman
UTILIZATION
- The handle is it fun?
Destabilizing the beginning for those who do not know. I had a lot of guitars (Lag Roxanne, Kopo Neptune 2, Start, Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor ...) is the biggest race in which I played. Provided it is pleasant enough, once past the first impression
- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Past the 20th fret it becomes sport, forget the shred of the treble
- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Ergonomics is detestable: heavy, unbalanced, no muzzle ... that's why we love
- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
Nope and that's what is good. Have to get a little guitar into a corner. It's not a guitar that fits your game, you have to adapt to the guitar
SOUNDS
- They are suitable to your style of music?
The same versatility: the Blues suits him perfectly, playing a little on the volume, we get to go from light to crunch to saturated without touching the amp.
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I played with a Flextone 3 in a Carvin VT50, a Mesa 50 Caliber +, and sometimes a small all-tube Marshall JCM a friend
- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
The sound of the pickups is drier and less warm than the Gibson. It was a more cold, a little metal type. The microphone is it very serious Bluesy, it sounds great in clear and crunch. The middle position is nice in the clear, saturated and then putting the serious tone of the microphone 0 and slightly lowering the volume of the grave, there is a phase out of its way a little talk box is the best effect
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
To avoid the grave on a large micro or micro acute saturation only one of its clear
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
I kept it for over a year, but I have tried a lot before I decide. In my opinion, the quality of the violin is excellent and except for playing on a Gibson and touch the myth of the finger (which some may find, I do not see the point of going to Gibson.
- What is so special that you like most and least?
I liked the Standard Plus is done in left-handed, with a sunburst finish Honey ...
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I compared with Duesenberg, the classic Epiphone, Tokai, and of which I confess that I enjoyed most. In addition to delivery in the case said that little pill that makes you touch Gibson's finger. It seems that Gibson IEA also decided to stop production because it was the shadow of their production in their own name. A future collector?
- How would you rate the quality / price?
€ 700 for the U.S. on Ebay, great value for money. I think for the price of nine, I preferred a Carvin
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes, but then delivered by UPS. The post office really sucks ...
