UTILIZATION

- Channel D trs varnish enjoyable, pais (I love), APRS is like it or not.
- Accs difficult to acute (it's a Les Paul), especially beginners, APRS used to it.
- The weight I have no problem, at least you can feel the prsence the guitar! And gives an impression of strength.
- This gives the sound you want easily.

SOUNDS

- I play a little bit of everything (Hard rock, Blues, Varita Mtal, Punk ...) and it sounds much astonishment! She's really versatile.
- I play at home on a Marshall and 15CDR rpt 'on a Fender FM65R, we immediately see the diffrence in sound! His desire saturated on the first and prcis clear and warm on the Fender. Can I also use a Cry Baby, able now!
- With 5 BASS, CONTOUR / 6 MIDDLE, TREBLE, 7, 9 OVERDRIVE, you get a sound mtal close to Metallica (even if the Les Paul does not excel in this field), then 4 BASS, CONTOUR / 8 MIDDLE, TREBLE 8, 7 and OVERDRIVE knob position pickup, it has a punk sound, sharp desire (for a, she is doing well trs)
- I have a weakness for his sharp sound in the treble, the sound perfect for bold style Santana solos (but blah for the rhythm), clear sound impeccable, round, warm and prcis.

Last day 23/03/2009:
I have changed in recent months amp (a Line 6 Spider Valve 112 lamp), which replaced my Fender FM65R and did not see anything!
The real grain of the guitar compltement spring. Since the amp mule several major brands, we can have a glimpse of all the possible sounds of the instrument. The old Fender Deluxe 50's, to Vox AC30 and Marshall, and ending on the Mesa Boogie, and it provides good! J'apprhendais dernire especially this brand for its incredible distortions, where it is necessary to ensure the microphones. No problem, even the drive back. So I add "can do aisment of Metal".

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it since March 2007
- I like its shape, its versatility, but not worth a Gibson, even if it is close trs!
- I bought it on the internet for the price lower than shop, but I have not tried other models before it was acquired.
- Trs qualitprix good value, has made all of good quality stringed guitar legendary, drisoire price (409 for me ).... what more?
- I do it again this choice without hsiter
