Drawing spider-shaped symbol of the COLD group, which I love, which is the guitarist Kelley Hayes (we see white, but in reality it is silver gray). Contrary to what one can say is far from shocking or flash, nothing to be stopped, quite the contrary. It's daring, but it's still sober.

UTILIZATION

Channel super nice, the satin finish is to die.
It is a form Les paul so do not expect access to acute as easy as on a Start but it's far from the obstacle course.
Top weight, no problem, you can play standing for hours (and we do not deny it).
The knobs are super effective.

SOUNDS

So here it kills all!
It seems that this guitar was invented in the cause of sustain. Whether at the set neck, rope traversing, or ebony fingerboard that propagates sound accurate and endless, everything has been done to take note that a quarter of an hour.
Originally it is mounted in EMG 81 for the metal is the TOP. It will depend on your gear, but these pickups are very good microphones, and despite what I hear, I maintain that clear sound, these pickups are not bad, however. Either way you can change to the Duncan or DiMarzio, the violin and aesthetics already justifies the purchase.
I play on a stack marshall TSL 100 that I use with an MXR DD11 Dime (also echohead and marshall regenerator, and PS-5 boss) and there are the peaks of plaisr within my reach.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months. Beautiful drawing, I love Cold Group, is far from generating a flash effect like "jme's farts, chuis too hard" is unusual, but it's still class. The violin is crying and alone justifies the purchase, the microphones, typed metal, however, can touch everything and the clean sound is not bad, far from it! Price / quality ratio -> It's expensive, but it's good. It is used to guard and LIFE. I would do this choice without the slightest shadow of doubt.
