Value For Money : Excellent
Guitar made (rather well for that matter) in the land of the rising sun: ESP version modernized LP (lighter, improved ergonomics)
exemplary finish
Mahogany body, flamed maple table beautiful translucent red finish the most beautiful effect classy white binding
22 frets, EMG 81/85 bridge tune o matic type mechanical self-locking Sperzel black
classy

otherwise, as the gibson: 2 volume 2 tone 3-position selector 1
not to split the pickups but who cares

Mahogany set neck rosewood fingerboard flag pearl inserts (true?) and ESP at 12th fret

shrink copy
box of quality provided
the detail that angry: € 1800 to shovel, no straplocks (I put it to 9)

UTILIZATION

Everything was smooth, ergonomic weight (enhanced LP) nothing to say handle most pleasant enough and narrow end nice and fast

sound good?? hihihi

SOUNDS

Sound: top class m ^ me if it is not very versatile (if I wanted the versatility, I took a Variax though ).......

85 in the handle is not bad at all and with the trunk of the guitar (it sounds very good vacuum) and even the 81 is doing well in the clear ..... Just set the receiver and volume tone knobs for a range of sounds rather rich and very satisfying ....

Plugged into an orange head engl, c a treat

But the chosen field, c the big killer distortion (the 81 was a HUGE fishing, more than 89 mounted on a scratch me another mahogany / maple much heavier)

To play the eighty's hard on the gun type ENGL's a treat ..... 70's hard on orange yum

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 days and I am more than satisfied ...... there a while I eye on it but the available left-handed repelled me (control + 6 months of waiting)

And then miracle, available in stores, I broke the piggy bank

I get out of a studio LP is not photo well

excellent value for money: € 1800 to c very expensive but the quality that much
especially compared to a standard LP (quasimment € 3000 in left-handed)

again this choice? and yes
