OVERALL OPINION

I've been there a short time, I honestly knew lespaul but disappointed the models in store I pulled over a metait ESP Eclipse has a default lespaul make me vibrate.

As luck would have it, a guitar rare (500 copies produced), a pearl in all areas. They are found at an affordable price for the time around 2000 to 2500 euros but for models with electronic era are becoming increasingly scarce ...

crack its portfolio so it will reward you a thousand, you're going to try the guitars in the store at 2000 euros and then you will understand what a guitar personalitée! you do not so easily tamed!
