Made in the USA - depending on the serial number engraved on the handle, you know the exact place and date of manufacture - I bought new in December 1982 PARIS 14, at Gaïté Music (I think the store n longer exists, unfortunately). This is not really the color I wanted, but it was only this one promotion (20%) and I took it as a Marshall JMC 800 single body. Paid 8,800 francs (which corresponds to about 3000 euros today).

I tried a few times because I was immediately conquered by the sustain due to the weight of this guitar. It weighs its weight. The handle is extra thin, flat enough ... the strings are very low, but it does not frieze ... you can play it fast enough on the handle. I love it.

Plugged into a tube amp, you immediately recognize the sound of the Gibson Les Paul Custom ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice.
Easy access to acute and sublime.

SOUNDS

You can play everything with: Hard rock, funk, jazz, metal, but it may also be preferable to have active pickups ...

I love all the sounds as well pickup, neck pickup or mix of both.

OVERALL OPINION

I always handle is always the same, the sound too. Probably due to some scratches waistband and other buttons.
This was my second guitar after Aria Pro 2. I've had a Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster which is different but also excellent. By the same.

Although today it may be worth 3000 euros (I do not know) I think this guitar has nothing to do with the other great guitars Fender, Ibanez etc ...

Without hesitation I would do this choice.
