Guitar made in USA Mahogany body with acoustic chambers. Hardwood table Mahogany Ebony 2 magnetic pickups (3 positions): - a Burstbucker 3 (bridge) and a P-90 (round) with an additional magnet for suppressing background noise inherent in single coil, Gibson gives them the name of P-90h ... A programmable 4-band Equaliser piezo circuit New LP-Z - This feature is directly inherited from the certainty of Les Paul guitars that should be equipped with low-impedance microphone to achieve high definition sound. Specifically, the guitar has an ID and a multi-output jack that allows the guitarist to select the conventional circuit or high impedance to enable the low impedance circuit. Output jack / XLR Motorsports neutrick robotic ultra-fast finish of rather crude with its very thin nitrocellulose lacquer and matte Gibson made it big on this one. We found a Case MCKII RIP interface (for recording) and several free software (rather expensive) once the registration is on the manufacturer's website (guitar rig 4, ableton ...). Software dedicated to the creation of sound banks is also the game. (Which can be stored in memory on the guitar) it runs on batteries (good, fair to charge the 2 batteries supplied quiet instead of buying batteries 9V ...), plus a charger. Also provided a MIDI cable, a stereo cable, and the beautiful matching case with the guitar. (I would add that the factory setting of the neck, bridge is just perfect) Is that all ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is super fun, not too big, ultra-precise and hangs a little back. (Mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard) it really gets me going very well, if you like Gibson that will fit you, if not for the hardcore shredders who love the sleeves end type Esp, Parker, Jackson ... you will not find this aspect of "highway". Guitar super well balanced. It weighs his weight (a Gibson does not forget). Access to acute carefree. Is directly obtained a very good sound, even without simulations. In addition there is plenty to explore: create your own sound banks, assign a different effect on each string ... it boggles the mind. Whatever your use, you'll have to wear hand in one guitar.

SOUNDS

It is very versatile. It should toutafais the sound I wanted. 2 humbucker, piezo pickups, full simulations of other brand guitars (Les Paul 57 'ES 335 ...), and the natural sound of the guitar, which is great. By varying the volume knobs and tone it also happens to a lot of subtlety in particular on the beautiful vibrated. (Which is not true of all guitars) I've tested a lot of amps with digital technologies, with fewer lamps (only in store). I save a lot in the studio, there is no one type of sound I am not come to do with it. Yet I cast a wide net: Jazz, country, rock, metal, crystal clear sound for arpeggios playboy, simultaneous acoustic ... for me it excels in all, I am far more than satisfied.

OVERALL OPINION

Happy owner last week, I love it. I've owned lots of super guitars: Vigier, musicman, parker, jackson, ibanez ... and I finish with this Gibson I do not separate myself. I was looking for a guitar of high quality and ultra-versatile (all styles and for all conditions), so I tried Vigier Gv (fantastique!), the signature Musicman Steve Lukather, a Les Paul Goldtop 57 '... re is known about the tiger dusk charmed me with all these technological accessories, all its sounds, its unique look, and once tried, it's over, it was mad love. I love everything about this guitar, it sounds natural, woods, feel, versatility, technology really serves in everyday use (all types of tuning to be done in 5 seconds, and simulations of guitars legends in a flash it's fantastic), the fact that there are only 1000 copies. worldwide, its looks (which may displease some, I admit it ...), but assumed its futuristic side that respects tradition. 3000 euros ok, it's expensive, but given the quality of stringed instruments, microphones, the piezo technology provided, and opportunities at all, I think it's well worth. I remake that choice without any hesitation. If ever you find one to try, you may dream of the night after ...
