« Perfect guitar when modified »
Published on 02/08/12 at 08:38In which country was it made?
The woman is Korean.
What type of bridge?
Tune-O-Matic tailpiece stop bar
What kind of handle?
Mahogany set neck, rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets binding
Scale 24.75 "
What types of micro and their configuration?
2 Epiphone humbucking pickups
What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
2 volumes, 2 tones anda selector 3 positions
The body is alder and mahogany; the flamed maple top and bulging, with net cash edge
The tuners are Grover oil bath
UTILIZATION
The handle is it nice?
This is a log, and personally, unless you are masochistic, I find it comfortable to perfection, it's soft, it does not cramp the hands. Channel perfect!
Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
This is a Les Paul, so it's heavy compared to a Strat or other guitar in the genre. To play sitting, it is top, it is balanced, it does not take down. As for the game while standing, a good thick strap will do the trick I think. The weight is largely bearable, should not exaggerate as we hear often.
Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
So there is not one shred guitar designed for. Access after the 15th box is not easy but doable if you do not have a solo of 15 minutes to play between the 15th and 22nd fret.
Do you get a good sound easy?
Bah ... 4 knobs, a selector, and you be the judge.
SOUNDS
Are they adequate for your style of music?
I use it in various musical fields ranging from mild blues to the explosion of metal, and it provides pretty good. Note that here I want accounts perforances mics I'm installing (gibson 490R and 498T). With the original pickups, the sound lacked personality and was not very hot.
With what (s) amp (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I use it on a Bugera Tube (2 * 12 ") and Laney (head + cabinet 4 * 12"), sometimes with a MXR M-116 for a heavy distortion, and my sound is perfect regardless of the configuration .
What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
The sound of the mics handle is deep, round and warm, and that the bridge is incisive, sharp and more chad (yes!). Super versatile guitar with its own personality. There is no sound that I dislike about this guitar.
And when the sustain is not bad, keep good notes.
OVERALL OPINION
How long you use it?
Pil hair a year I think, and I do not get enough of this beauty.
Did you tried many other models before buying it?
I tested the Epiphones (much worse) and Gibson (the wood of the handle is more comfortable on Gibson). If not rich, I rabbatu on it, and it does its job properly.
What is so special that you love the most, least?
Likes: the form (yeah, Les Paul, this is legendary!), Color (the table is beautiful in the light), weight (at least you can feel it), ergonomics, and of course SOUND Finally, its price is really interesting (note that the finish is just perfect on mine, which is not always the case).
I do not like: the original pickups, solder (easy to do again) and mechanical.
How would you rate the quality / price?
Nothing to say, it's cheap and it was a good guitar that can upgrade later.
With experience, you do again this choice?
With experience, yes, I would do this choice without hesitation, with the money keeps flowing, I'd take a gibson les paul supreme (yeah, the legend comes at a price!).
PS: My opinion is based on all the changes I made on the guitar that is:
- The gibson pickups 490 and 498
- The mechanical schaller (same as on the Gibson models)
- The straplocks
- The jack came with locking system
- The knobs
- The selector
- All welds
- Bridge tonepro
Well, for less than € 1000, you have the equivalent of a Gibson in sound (deuce benchmarks are not the handle pearl! What will I do ...)
