- It's a pretty nice Chinese by Mr. Gibson. A "handmade in China" but also made with machines.
else adj t said many times on Previous notice.
The body and mahogany are good quality trs. Assemblies impeccable. As for the table in Saddle Flamm's just a sheet plate on the body ... Dixit my Luthier. Now it is mainly 3 / 4 mahogany and 1 / 4 Saddle which the sound of a "Paulette"! Grover Mcaniques excellent. Fillet or "Binding" is just paint. In short, despite the quality of the violin, if you look prsy Z'Y put a fresh coat of makeup (trs patent pais) ... to make it look real.

UTILIZATION

The handle is no pais no end, a good compromise between the 60 'and 50' at Gibson. the handling and banding are a bit rough to beginners, but eventually got used to it quickly because it is a guitar to play it right?
Overall a good scratch to mimine muscles, and to give expression, you can go is physics! To Access in acute must be crossed and the heel is dangerous mission, but not impossible, it is very similar cel its big sister, as the weight elsewhere.

SOUNDS

Nothing is more subjective than the one to call, if you feel like a terrace sipping a "Canada Dry" We got little to no real thrills.
The original pickups sounded light, I Mount of Seymour Duncan 59 '... and on my Fender Blues Junior branch o I also occasionally my old Gibson 335, I found presentations rather close: the sound is fatter with more depth and dynamics, opration SURGICAL done all of the same drive up the price by 30%. Having said that price level is still far from Gibson!

OVERALL OPINION

In short after six months, I try to be as objective as possible (not easy when you're like me, an old bluesman converted into family life and s'tait largest scratch for a few years ).
That said:
So much to say right now, and as in previous ones cit opinion, do not expect to have a clone of the Les Paul, it is dsormais stamped "Handmade in China" This mean that if the quality of finish is to go at the cost of industrialization grows up, you have a reliable guitar at all levels, but without much personality.
At least for two times cheaper than a Les Paul Studio REPRESENTATIVES that the entry-level Gibson was right even a scratch of equivalent quality. In short when you can not afford to accder rvant myth can finally afford the original ... and that's what I'll do my ds my finances permit.
