22 frets
Gibson pickups (I have changed xD): a classic 57 '(stick) and a classic 57' + (bridge)
Set neck
2 volume and 2 tone
1 3 position selector
USE
The handle is fine by me; it is not very big and fast enough (although the Start 'remains one master)
Being a Les Paul, the shape of the table does not favor access to acute (compared to the PRS Hollowbody I MacCarty (my favorite of all the guitars)). However, I rarely play solos after box 19 so it fits me like that.
Weight level is satisfactory (3h rehearsal (so standing) and no shoulder pain)
To get the sound you want, not need to be a pro grat '. Sound for rhythm you put the switch in rhythm or 2 and for good distortion and solos, selector treble (and it does I think)
SOUNDS
I play mostly pop / rock with my microphone so it suits me very well. This is a very clean and very powerful.
I plugged into a Marshall avt50 (I got cheap, I would have liked a DSL201). It is a hybrid amp (preamp lamp, the rest in transistors) so it sounds good without impurities (of course with a mesa that would be the total hearts)
I play 90% on the easel microphones (classic 57 '+ so) and many dosing gain and Bass / Middle / Treble amp I can approach the desired sound.
I added an effects pedal (Delay, Tremolo, Chorus, Phaser ...) and it's true that it improves the sound well.
NOTICE GLOBAL
I bought it in August 2005 and aged well
I first chose for its shape (Les Paul) and his rock sound
Quality / good price well what is lost value (but I do not intend to get rid of)
This is my first grat power so when I bought it I did not have a huge budget and my knowledge was not huge. Faced with a gibson I do not find it at all ridiculous so I surely do it again this choice.
