raphiki2 « The best in this price range! »

Value For Money :
Excellent
the neck has 22 frets, two humbuckers coils, four knobs, two volume two tone, one three position switch, flamed maple top, tune O Matic bridge, set neck.
The characteristics of a Les Paul what!
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice, maybe a little finer than gibson, the access to acute, I think is very good, but it takes time to get used to the form. We obtain easily a good sound.
The guitar is quite heavy, which is pretty good sign for a Les Paul that price!
The sustain is very good for the price, but by the cons you have to admit that we are still far gibson!
It holds tune very well, even better than my Gibson Flying V!
In fact I would say this guitar buried a bunch of guitars dearest.
SOUNDS
I usually play the Metal with a lot of distortion on a randall RG75g3 with a boss ME50. And since that time I have I still have the original pickups!
For all that is hardrock is right up there playing a little with guns n roses is fun! For all that is thrash metal (Metallica has I think especially Slayer Megadeth) ca goes quiet.
For the slightly heavier Metal: Amon Amarth, Gojira, for example, ca going very well.
In fact the level is good this guitar at all levels, the only flaw may be that the neck pickup is a little soft for big distos, the coup was still almost all the time on the bridge pickup in heavy distortion
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a bunch of time, bought new has about 450 € on the Internet has the time, I did not need to try several models: I had a Les Paul.
The pros:
The lutherie
The table in maple
All
ThE -:
The neck pickup wholesale distortion that has barely follow the bridge pickup
This guitar is probably the best value on the market in this price range! Change the pickups is not an obligation.
With experience, I could redo this choice, but it pressed to mount a kit Emg James hetfield or kit emg 81 & 60, and like that have a good guitar emg and not too expensive (and I'm sure ca beats LTD € 1000 lol), for the simple reason that for some occasions, this can be useful to have the emg, but on a high end guitar I'd rather have the Seymours or gibson pickups !
