Best value: Excellent
Nothing to add: especially not floyd, big fat humbukers, roots wok and woll attitude and physical flows.
I note though that mine is a SPECIAL EDITION! (???) It's good. Besides, if someone could explain what changes it would be very nice.

UTILIZATION

The handle is nickel: the frets glide like soap (but this is the SPECIAL EDITION playing ...). I almost never found better. Access to Acute = matter of habit, anyway we are not here to play the Vai.
Weight, you get used to, but the strap-locks are needed as soon as we move a little.
For sound, it's Gibson LP and less well: the need to tame, there is not anything you want with (same as the Gibson).
on the other hand, huge black spot: the LARSEN. It's simple: volume 5, distortion of the amplifier is hyperacute live as soon as no longer plays: the footswitch takes a beating. With a distortion pedal it manages, but it's still not the ecstasy. Need to change the pickups ... snif

SOUNDS

The sounds are fat distortion is the riff in a box. In his clear, there are many combinbaisons thanks to four knobs, almost jazz sometimes.
When you play a note on the cheek not half: the sound is supported, limit piano (I said "limit").
The microphone is a bit sharp one screaming. By combining the two microphones and moving tones there are some beautiful sounds.
In summary, I repeat: we do not all styles with it. The well-funk classic to avoid further such.

OVERALL OPINION

The sound has a nice personality, but P!!! of feedback ...
Excellent quality / price against it of course, the difference with a real Les Paul is not so obvious, except probably at the finish (a little false to the octave for example).
It's a great choice, but the microphones are changing from being pushed a little distortion ...
