lucas.guillaneux « Simple, beautiful, archi effective! »
Published on 07/01/13 at 13:03If I'm not mistaken this is a reissue of the legendary Les Paul Double Cut, which always makes me dream ... Beautiful comes from America, Gibson USA obviously.
22 frets
Wraparound bridge
A very pleasant and comfortable handle that will appeal to many without a doubt guitarists.
One P-90 microphone with a volume knob and a tone.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice, the guitar is a faded model therefore unglazed, which makes it very comfortable to handle my taste. So much so that it is on this guitar I play the most right now.
The guitar is very light, ideal if you're not a beefy big as me and the scene if you have a set of very active scene.
The shape is a matter of taste, I bought this guitar because I am absolutely crazy about Junior DC. If this is the guitar that makes you dream like me and you do not have 2000 euros to make, go for it! She is beautiful, the wood is beautiful you can see the veins, it is a beautiful red color and is much more beautiful in person than in photos.
Because of the "double-cut" access to the treble is very easy, so if you're furious soloist at heart and that you are enough 22 frets this guitar can also be for you.
Easily get a good sound, in fact it just plug into an amp worthy of the name. Already empty guitar sounds good and sustain quite correct.
SOUNDS
I bought this guitar to play punk rock in two different groups, and yes it is quite suitable for this use. As singer, and if in addition you have to jump around I do not have much time to worry about the settings and this is what suits me. One branch, we put the knobs to bottom and left the bim! (Well not always I admit, playing with tone can be interesting). And I do not expect versatility from this wonder but it turns out that I also used to play jazz or funk, and even sounds! Very pleasantly surprised.
Its really a very response as a function of the guitarist and the attack. I found the micro P-90 very expressive and the clean sounds gloss wish (if you have the amp that follows), very strong slap if you attack. I love the saturation when we go inside to clean, to ska and reggae really good.
Crunch sounds are biting at will, really amazing lamps on a Marshall crunch. Amateur big distortions I saw my judgment after tasting such flavors. Really a guitar with character, when pushing the gain you get in an electric thunder with a monstrous potato! No, really, the first time I used rehearsing a Marshall I was hallucinating by this really crazy sound!
Large distortions are however not his chosen field, and other metalhead purists go your way because the "buzz" of the P-90 large saturation will not be appreciated and desired precision cutting and will not be waiting for you.
OVERALL OPINION
I've always tried to have a Junior DC but galley galley, as reissues like this model from 2006 are no longer for sale. Fortunately there is occas' because I could not wait until Gibson decided to redo a series.
What I like most about this guitar is his personality, because she has so! I played a lot of guitars "soulless" and with sound that gave me almost no sensation but now it lives! There is something I can not say anything, completely in love. For the price it really is a killer, I do not know how much it cost new, but for 600 euros I got out of my pocket very satisfied.
I have this guitar since 3 months and I use it all the time, maybe it will me but I think I have acquired a guitar to accompany me throughout my life it will always be a place of choice for other. So yes I do it again this choice without hesitation if the need were.
