UTILIZATION

Then we are in the high-end!
The handle is really a drop, end, fast. Of course we always blame the difficult access to the last frets but I do not think it's so horrible, I enjoy to do as Slash has completely put my guitar vertically.
The weight is quite high but not unbearable, it does not bother me at all, I compare with my gibson sg, okay you can see the difference but the less we feel this guitar!
The sound is really a drop I understand Mr. Page, Slash and many others that we adopt this guitar, the sustain is huge! play a harmonic, go make a sandwich, come back and have no finite harmonic ringing. The ceramic pickups have a really high output, the sound is mind-blowing distortion, a rather pretty clear without being the beautiful clear sound stratified or telecaster of our dear colleague fender.

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my styles of music: I am very blues, rock, hard rock and I can say that in these styles, she knows!
I use a Marshall vintage modern 50 watt all-tube, mixing the two make an explosive cocktail, a vintage sound the way I like.
kind of sounds like I said it's mostly vintage:
Clean it in a rather pretty clean and crystalline in the bridge position and very hot in the neck position.
In crunch and distortion is pure his gibson.
In short how to decide between all sounds as beautiful as each other!

OVERALL OPINION

To conclude this guitar is my baby, I pampered, I'm singing a quick bomb! I am a 400 percent satisfied with this guitar no fault!
