WoodchiPublished on 03/26/05 at 00:53 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Little noticed by the repoort previous comment, the prod of the craft began in 1993. In any case, my own date of that year. The violin is finished. I remain skeptical about the use of ear on the head (small rods placed on the edge of the head that simulates a reversed headstock ...).
When I bought it at the time, the cap selector was orange! I replaced it with a chrome, as well as the truss rod plate. It is quieter and more harmonious.
The ABR-1 bridge to the old is no better than the new bridge. He respects the most flamed maple since the holes are smaller Maisen terms of stability, new more efficient I think.

Put notes on features, it's weird anyway. 10/10 for those who like to play while LES PAUL. 0 / 10 for those who do not understand this enthusiasm LP. 7 / 10 for me because for the price, the little details like that need not be neglected.
UTILIZATION
The handle is nice, the frets may seem a bit high, however. For sound, I do not understand why, without being stronger, can you hear to make you free points.
SOUNDS
Jazz, rock, metal variety. Yep, it works well in all cases. Play it the same on a Start on one LP, or at least not the same. Still, she has a life of its own and it looks like it guides the way you play very significantly. When I play, I have the impression of being two.
OVERALL OPINION
12 years of use. The table is aging very well, and the varnish patina brings out even more waves (perpendicular to the axis) and veins (parallel to the axis). I have good shoulders now. But it's wood, real good, very heavy which makes the sound.
I find the price delusional exaggeration. In 1993 it was worth 11,700 francs (€ 1,700), the friend says that in 1998 it was worth more than € 3000, and now the argus the coast between 4000 and 5000 €. Uh ... it's still the same. I think the ratio Q / P is very bad. This is the price of a guitar luthier, or even more when it is mass produced with machines already available, waste wood important for cutting and shaping of the handle of the head. At that price today, I'd rather see a luthier who can do this to me again and pretty much cost. Must not be fooled by all the pseudo legend around there gibson. With experience, even for 2000 euros, I'll see a luthier.See less20
