- In which country was it made?
USA
- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
22 frets, it is equipped with a P90 in the neck and bridge in a Burstbucker 3
- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Tune-o-Matic
- What are the settings?
2 volumes, one tone, 3-position selector that is not in place of a standard Les Paul and a kill switch in place of the selector.
The kill switch is a disgrace to Gibson on this guitar because it provides an effect of "mass" very unpleasant.
- What type of race?
Channel Type 50

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?
so the handle is not a highway that have a habit of Jackson but is very pleasant and quite fast.
- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Well like all the Les Paul not great but not disastrous either.
- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
For it is OK on this side, the weight is reduced compared to a Les Paul standar
- Gets it easy to sound good?
Yes it is very versatile I think.

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?
I am playing a bit of everything from Jazz to Metal Close to spot and quite frankly it is at home in almost everything.
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
For now, I played on my Toneport but I tried it on the tube amp and it sends the naughty
- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
Well as I said it is versatile so we had to slam his fat or following the positions of the selector and adjustment knobs.
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
I like everything

OVERALL OPINION

Well then I must let out a rant because it strongly criticized badly and I do not think it's normal. It's basically a Les Paul that has been completely modified by Gibson to bring something new and it's successful, then those who say we do not find the sound of a Les Paul "normal" Bah the beans should not buy it because it is not the butts of the scratches!
I would definitely do it again this choice

Edit: After several months of use I am still very happy with my purchase, especially now that I have a tube amp. The sound is absolutely great, something bizard the switch makes no noise with this amp (Blackheart (I will not complain)). I associated with an MXR distortion III and it's really up to play everything (except extreme metal).
