UTILIZATION
The handle is very distinctive "Gibson", Big and round, it did not uncomfortable ride! The matt black varnish gives a good glide and gentle while moving the wrist really amazing! The 22 frets are very well fitted and finished, again, is well done! It's really good job! The key, though not the best in the world, is still very good. With regard to access to acute, the surprise is also good to meet you! The wrist goes smoothly, it will not be embarrassed, since the thickness of the credit union that is is still thinner than a Les Paul standard. Although it is not very conventional, screw the handle does not diminish, nor comfort, nor to the aesthetics of the instrument. The matte black finish with black hardware of the Junior is really nice, a hybrid between a classic and a modern finish! The mechanical manual lubrication is not bad, they keep well agreement after a series of energetic bend! That said ... It will see over time if their changes will not be necessary. But for now, it's been a month since it stays in place and with a little care they should take a long time!
With regard to the ergonomics of the guitar, it's the spitting image of Paul with a few exceptions ... It may well be lighter than a standard, it is still weight. While sitting upright with a strap like the LP Junior is balanced and comfortable to play! I note that the thinness of the body (42mm), involved sitting causes the same discomfort in the chest a telecaster, if it was cranky about something ... well done!
SOUNDS
Played without being connected, it gives off a small sound very promising! see a more trendy ... Go! I plugged into my head Vox AC without any pedals between the two. In his clear, it is snapping up highly in the midrange frequencies. The notes are well defined and playing with the tone knob you get to modulate the balance of the microphone. Phew ... sustain a clean sound is rather long. Usually fitted with a P90, this has the Humbucker Junior, who is predestined to see rock music ... So very rock on the way disto ... I turn the channel to drive the amp. The slamming the microphone appears less, but still remains present. Blues riff on some rock, slamming it becomes very useful when solo and notes are defined without slobbering. In agreement also blocked the full and we can say that the micro filled his role well! Without being either the best of its kind, it is still very usable and shows the same incisive! Brit pop, rock so Ash Power ... A very good point for him!
Now, to get an idea of its worth is in its' high gain "I am the branch with my EH Metal Muff pedal. The flapping is still present, you have to play with the tone knob to allow metal riffs . Again it's still usable though for the change of micro Metal become almost mandatory! rendering is too "fat" and too slamming ...
OVERALL OPINION
I bought this little guitar in Paris a month ago for the fun of owning an original instrument, and I do not regret my purchase! She is very beautiful, very fun to play. I'm used to higher-end instrument, but much like the ramp, the better it is more accomplished than some guitars that are worth double or triple. The value for money could not be more democratic (109 Euros). Since I mounted him an EMG 81 Humbucker active and my happiness is complete! Note: Manual mechanical grassage are still there after a month and it does not move!
The pros: The look, sound in blues and rock, build quality and finish. The great price
The -: The micro slamming home too, in a sitting position, the cash builds in the chest hurts (I'm quibbling here a lot lol)
Know that if you like scratches ... Hurry you to go try it! it is limited edition and to my knowledge I have seen in a shop in Paris!
