«  A great LP, what class! »

This is a "made in China" but we'll see on this one, they made strong.
Regarding features, everything is found in a Les Paul, and for my part, do not worry with acute, very nice handle, weight, and everything that is the charm of an LP.
A volume knob and a tone knob for each pickup.
Here, 10/10 without hesitation, because it takes a LP knowingly, not to complain after the difficulty of playing in the treble or weight.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, the paint will not stick. Not too big, we immediately took to the game as well as rhythmic solos.
And then request access to acute admittedly a bit more effort than a SG or a Stratocaster, but it is far from insurmountable. Mainly a matter of habit.
Regarding the sound. Already, we obtain a very good vacuum resonance, so that you can have fun with without necessarily connect.
On an amp now, and the little amp is also your height, and what is divine.
Remember that this LP is originally equipped with Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro of II. So I do not based on the fact that it is the pickups 'Slash' but that these mics are both powerful and hot.
And it is not necessarily that big sound for. Linger on a little blues, a good move on AC / DC and then on the big saturation every time you give so much pleasure.
I play on a RIVERA and an old Marshall JCM 900, plugged directly into the amp or a pedal, and although each time, this guitar argued his personality.
I do not want to upset the pure Gibsonniens here but quite frankly, it is well above input ranges from Gibson.
Would that the quality of the violin that appears here, order of finish, because mine is perfect in every way. I'm looking in all the corners, I do not see any default, including at the frets (I could make a setting with relatively low action and it does not plank at all).
All this to say that we actually get a very good sound. But I repeat, the amp is usually the part of things and this is true for all guitars.
Many sustain, but also is a guitar that can play very easily to volume knob, both electronic and above quality microphones are quality.
Here also, I put 10 because, besides the fact that this guitar is very comfortable to play, it was more an instrument well finished, and especially can not remain indifferent to the general aesthetic (table AAA level still !).

SOUNDS

I generally like all kinds of music, but everything is electric blues, hard rock, and everything is well paced to say.
With this guitar is powerful on the micro bridge and neck pickup is divine. And if we add all opportunities and more when you play with the tone controls, it makes a wide range of sounds. But every time it rings, it does not bleed, always clean.
When I said that the guitar sounds very empty without amp, it feels like when you plug the guitar, because it delivers a good dose of aggression when it requests it.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently started using. I started playing guitar in the 80s. And among others, I've always loved Epiphone LP 90s. They do not cheat, that sounds good right now.
I must say that the AFD Slash (2010), has all my esteem, and when I say that, it comes from the heart. What personality!
While this is true, you take an old Epiphone LP and you ride him and two Seymour Duncan is already a treat.
But having already made all like that, plus the style and finish this. And again, this is not being a 'Slash'. It is a great instrument.
I would put 10/10 everywhere without any hesitation.
If you have the chance of getting this "Slash AFD 2010" for sale, go for it.
