UTILIZATION
Thick handle and round, getting used to if you play on a round end type Ibanez
access facilitated by the sharp cutaway
weight = excellent, lighter than the old LP and its still as punchy
SOUNDS
Guitar to do everything, all styles (I play metal), microphones in his round and hot, big potato on the rhythm game, held in perfect harmony.
a quality guitar that I use with a jack Monster Cable (60 euros) Plug in Line6 Flextone3 a combo, the sound is simply excellent, both in specific saturated clear that every note comes off even with LOTS of gain.
I played so far on an Ibanez Sabre SFM mounted EMG 81/85, I had to adapt to the neck and microphone, I have even more fun to play on this guitar.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it 2 months, I was amazed by the build quality and especially its nothing but empty! an investment and will improve over time as any Gibson. Guitar that I recommend to try to go all left still struggling to find a good instrument. For 1000 euros, go ahead, Gibson made an effort so that everyone can afford an instrument that you keep.
A word to the end, the guitar comes in a pouch inside Super White with certificate of authenticity and a small manual.
