«  A very good model Gibson ... »

Published on 06/29/11 at 07:57
Made in USA by the Custom Shop for the brand.
Wraparound Bridge Type (winding).
Channel Profile "Gibson's traditional rounded 50"
22 frets super well ajustes, although limes.
2 P90.
Usual Rglages volume and tonality.
Nitrocellulose lacquer.

The body is flat (not bomb solid mahogany and is formed from a single pice (which is rare nowadays in this price range).
There is no table adds to this model.

This is a VOS (Vintage Original Spec) and may be cited capacitors Bumble Bee, CTS pots or the mcaniques Vintage white buttons that team.

The neck is also mahogany and is al. It has the particularity of having a long pin extending into the body. This improves further sustain and tonality. It also presents a color crme said binding but rather pulling to yellow to me ... The slecteur Rhythm / treble of the same color.

The fingerboard is rosewood with repres traditional "dot".

There is a black pickguard spcifique spciale this release.

This is a guitar that is still symbolically combines TV Yellow finish since c'tait most "current" in this color.
As for me, I prefers white finish as the picture or red "faded cherry".
This is the latest version that I possde.

All this indicates that we are dealing with a rather traditional guitar appearance but fairly upscale because of the quality of the components of the body piece 1 pice of wood, the quality of fit and finish, etc ...

In short, it is the top range of sober, discreet ... The class what!

USE

For having an SG Suprme of the same brand with a round profile 60, I want prciser that I prefer by far my new profile Spciale 50. I find the more comfortable and it allows me to be more prcis in my game but it is true that I have big paws ...!

Ergonomics is substantially identical any other Les Paul brand nearly a nuance:
This model presents at the liaison body / neck a difference compared to other Les Paul.
The handle high E string ct comes not "flush" in line with the body and is recessed relative to the body about a small centimeter. Visually though this race we see comes totality fit into the body of a post Manire ... It's solid !!!
So, access the low E string from the band 16ME could perhaps GNER those with short fingers ....!

On the other hand, I can confirm that there is a sound quite diffrent between the handle and the bridge P90 P90. This gives us great tonal possibilities and dfinitive, we easily get the sounds that one seeks.

SONORITS

I play mostly in the registers Blues, pop and rock.
I can say that the P90 is comfortable in these registers. on the other hand, they are perhaps a little worse than my old classic'57 my OS in the Hard Rock, and vice versa, the P90 is downright better than 57 blues, blues / rock. For metal, do not talk.
Any fawn there are not really say excellent versatile guitars. You always have a choice, compromises for the best in a well prcis register. And then broaden its reach, there are ways such as small pedals ...!

I play on a combo Mesa LoneStar Special. You see where I'm coming from ...
P90 with a solid mahogany body, you get clear round until saturated, deep and warm sonorits sustain strong idales for blues and rock.
Assurs havoc ... especially in a Vintage register !!!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 4 months.

The I like / I do not like:

I love the high quality finish and assembly. Better than my SG Suprme prcdente.
I like the simple look and chic both its Class ct.
I like the profile 50 of the handle.
I like the power and tone of the P90.
I love the fat and warm sound it sends.

I do not like potentiometers tonalities of which are still not linear and prcis.
I do not like the 2 fixing screws galvanized white P90 should very black. Good, is discussed ...

This is a character of guitar that combines with a LoneStar Special, excels in my opinion in a register Blues / Rock.

Perfectly Matched!
