The features were once described moult, mine is 2010. But why Gibson does not it all his guitars at this level?

UTILIZATION

A good run 50's confusing for fans of shred, happiness for others, blithely passing by all the styles, treble have access "paulien the" well-known form.

Aesthetically it looks great in her gold dress beautiful; AC feels high quality, far from the Chinese or even American products at low prices. However fan notes from, the tuning has never appeared not to hold, and is even better than many guitars on the market (I've tested a lot and did a dozen ...)
The sound is full, crunchy to perfection if you will, too angry (without going to the metal all the same). This guitar is surprisingly versatile. For my part I have not found any sound does not correspond to my research: the blues? Huge heat, crunch and sustain wish. A good old Led Zeppelin? No problem. If my fingers followed she always comes. In the clear? Sublime heat without cruncher, not as a fender banging, especially telecaster but even on a transistor amp is warm and bright. This is the perfect for an LP 59: the latter is "better" for big sounds and old metal type metal (although, for playing Black Sabbath with my 56, it sure is severe!) &% & Chapter %&%&% develloped above. I would add that apart from a shredder / metalheads satisfied, we can all play with and I even tested more funky pieces that my usual style and frankly I was stuck. She knows almost everything (cf. made of metal / shred), and is doing so well, we forgive him because we did not buy that!

Already "empty", it vibrates, and it has only one desire: the plugger just to see and hear, especially if the song correpond plumage.
Plugged into an old lamp she issued her best even, and every nuance of attack is transcribed, each game is emotion, means .... I would almost say that this guitar "speaks", "lives".

Even on a transistor it is warmer than another, even at gibson. In this config with a small pedal that goes well, at random or at EHX SansAmp, a killing!



SOUNDS

Is my 11th and my 3rd guitar gibson, pleasure can not be denied, a play can not be loving to be less allergic to the brand or the sleeves of this type ( ibanez guitar players come from such will be confusing at first) For 20 years I have tried, bought and sold quite a few guitars and an old SG 70's, I never appreciated the guitar like that.
At prices from 2500 to 2700 Specials on average, it's expensive it's on, Gibson is happy with his custom shop (selling for high prices of the instruments he can make CLEVERLY 50 years .. .) but the price is worth it.

Choosing to do again without hesitation!

Despite everything I sell (see listing), the dollars not grow on my balcony and I have another project ... lol
