Made in US, MODEL launched beginners of the 90s in response to multiple requests to return to Gibson sleeves thinner profiles (type 60s MODELS)
Body and handle all mahogany table in rosewood Saddle ond touch with old trapzoides taken the most beautiful effect. Aesthetics honeyburt finish is beautiful: the type of object you want to display in your living room day and night ...
2 humbuckers originally Cramique 496 R and 500 T, 2 volume pots, 2 tone, 3-position switch 1 ... what a classic ...
Gibson Heavy Duty Case, a taste pouvantable (fur pink "Barbie Coffin" The indoor) but ... some Manir, it's part of the myth Gibson ...

UTILIZATION

Channel fabulous, it is the opposite type of blocks sleeves 50 'a majority of Arequipa Les Paul Standard or Studio. Little hands will have no worries!
Access in more than adequate acute
Guitar quite heavy, but it's still bearable (especially to think of straplocks!)
In between, the sound is l. .. Even if the microphones can be changed (I did) the original ones are correct, however they lack the usual velvety Gibson; These microphones are cramique sharper than usually Arequipa alnico Gibson, one gains in output level but loses DEFINITIONS and roundness. It will rev well for those seeking a particularly hard rock "muscle"
But it is not my case, so I opt for a micro Gibson 57 Classic neck and a cot Dirty Fingers (also Gibson) in acute l. .. and it's killing total. It does not touch the myth, we are in the thick of it: that is oriented at ds blues / rock / jazz / pop. This is the top in terms of heat clear roundness, smoothness in severe heat and EHJV in acute ...

SOUNDS

IDAL is for styles that are mine (evokes above):
but not only. It is quite funky play (position intrmdiaire, jazzy in serious, etc ...
I use it with a "small" LANEY lamps (CV 15) with an additional speaker VOX 212 (2 of 15 bowls! ") With effect in a Marshall Regenerator (chorus / flanger / phaser / leslie) and pedals Schaller tremolo (no need for overdrive crunch the quality of the channel of my Laney VC15 combo)
The whole gives a rsultat roll over!

But be careful, changing microphones seems to me fundamental to approach the top, ca determines everything I just evokes above, in which case you will have the hands a Les Paul Custom, with a handle much easier!

I put in 10 of 10 microphones Reserved changes that I did or I would have been 7 to the original configuration.

OVERALL OPINION

I have to purchase US 2 years ago, it dates from 1995. I paid 1300 euros (shipping and customs included)
I have my 4th guitar (Squier Telecaster, PESP Aria, Gibson ES 135). This time it's good! I do not spare! With microphones changes made, that is a marvel!
