UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?

The neck is thinner than a Gibson, but compared to the neck of my Ibanez is going to say it's not comparable, but there is very nice with a good comfort. Oops level of polish that hangs a little to the right hand but nothing serious

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?

Les Paul model requires, the guitar is heavy but access is fairly easy to acute, after this is not a shred of skyscraper = P

Do you get a good sound easy?

They need a little tweak the knobs and height of the pickups to have a truly versatile sound and not put everything thoroughly to be confined only to the metal.

SOUNDS

They suitable for your style of music?

Yes, I play metal (well it was on was easier on my ibanez but hey, we put the knobs up and share nickel) I also play rock, hard rock etc and it is for its really great, like to play punk. I am occasionally a little bluesy improvisations and it's great.

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?

The sound is fat (the Paul forces) without much being that still leaves a margin for adjustment of the amp:)

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?

I use a Line 6 Spider III 15W and Vox VT50 (what fucking amp!)
On my line 6 guitar Fessant Guelle really, but with the vox she found her prince charming! :)

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

The micro acute distortion is really great, he is acutely have much less but still drinking. The micro serious lack of presence, for it comes out clean about the distortion but with the solo is not his.


OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?

I use it since November 2010

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

Yes especially at 3-4, but Epiphone Squier home, it really is as above Epiphone replicas, if you're not sure go ahead take the Custom 77! :)

What thing do you like most/least about it?

I love his warm, especially acute in his microphone distortion, but I like the least serious distortion microphone and microphone acute clean ...

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ..

The quality / price is very good:)
Yes I was referring to, perhaps in a different color but good ^ ^
(Trans black is dirty: P)
