United States Gibson
Channel 60's profile
Carved Mahogany body
490R & 498T humbuckers
The guitar is somewhat along the lines of Goddess Gibon (lean, sleek, refined and carved box) which is to the female audience. But the playing comfort really suffers.
UTILIZATION
The guitar is really well balanced, not as a slight lag but not as heavy as a Les Paul for example.
The handle without a highway is really nice.
The varnish is very soft and it feels a little grain of wood underneath. It is not unpleasant, but it may confuse some. In terms of access to acute, it is a Les Paul, not obvious, but not impossible with minimal training.
For his part, it's easy to get a good sound when playing with the knobs. The bridge pickup has a tendency to easily cruncher (thank you output level) and is really great for rock slightly muscular (Thunderstruck is a treat to play on this skyscraper).
SOUNDS
This guitar is perfect for my style of music rather rock.
Unfortunately, former owner of an entry level guitar, I have to go with the amp (Fender GDEC) but to have tried this on a Gibson Marshall ValveState 65R I think falling in love with this lovely couple.
The clean sounds are really hot and round neck pickup and the overdrive is when you bite attack. The output levels of the microphones can have a clear sound even in OD (just lower the volume) and can play a lot of pictures.
The clean sounds are really excellent, despite the two humbuckers. Rummaging through the amp, you can get a nice clean crunch a little, or so well-rounded or polished, warm and really clear.
I even managed to play funk ...
I will modify this part once I bought a new amp, which will not be long.
[update]
For about a week I have in my possession a Marshall Valvestate 80V replacing my GDEC 15W.
Needless to say, the sound suffers. Except that the sounds are really clear ... more clear, I also note that pickups cashing superbly distortion.
Excellent dynamics, clarity of notes, and good resistance to attack.
The couple Marshall / Gibson is made to be together. I no longer have the same guitar!
OVERALL OPINION
It is now five months that I have this Les Paul Vixen and even if it is a little "cheap" compared to a Les Paul worthy of the name (forgot the keys pearly, the rectangular frames), it still has a nice electronic which has been proven in many high-end brand, a violin instead of good quality, very nice finish to the eye (I have version Ebony, matte black, and it's sublime ).
This guitar is almost € 800 on some sites, and honestly, we can give thanks that the Euro is stronger than the Dollar
In stores, I could try the Fender Joe Strummer Tele, a Les Paul Studio and a Gibson SG Faded.
My choice was definitely focused on the Vixen for versatility and price.
