UTILIZATION

Asymmetric handle: it's not as big as a handle 50 and handle 60 as fine as it is a mix of both, comfort? I have not really felt more is good but not transcendent, it's not a Wizard neck with Ibanez
The room-tone sen knows how to make the guitar lighter, like I have not felt it to be lighter than a Traditional, you can not pass from one to two
The mechanical self-locking are no utilities were always the famous de-tuning on the G string, the nut is to be revised
The Neutrik locking jack, without interest, it's more a gimmick than anything else

SOUNDS

The room tone gives a little something after one likes or dislikes, I remain puzzled, empty the guitar sounds good but once connected it's a little disappointment, surely ought to Burstbucker Pro? being a regular on the Les Paul Classic 90 (full room) and Tradional (hole room) I prefer the widely Tradional 50 or 60 equipped with the Classic 57 and 57 +, the Standard of his aptly named it ' is very standard we do not feel the stuff that makes you get into the shoes of Jimmy Page, Kravitz, Joe Perry ... this bluesy rock aggressiveness this vintage dusty depths of his bourbon and Tennessee with the side that stains like greasy cheeseburger bills, it's happening everywhere very versatile, it lacks character as Babybel or Laughing Cow nothing to do with good old Rock-Fort
It remains none the wiser, as the group looks gentle way of life: it's not spit but it's not the same ...

OVERALL OPINION

as they come out in 2012 found the Standard model from 2008 to 1800 € instead of € 2200 is too expensive for what it is ... I had my Traditional for less than that
Other surprises electronics, microphones are plug jack on the whole in a printed circuit changed for mics or knobs it's a pain ... must be found the bases, just like the change not hurt anyone else or for more crados ago ear cleft (wired connection) so, I abandoned the idea of ​​the switch Burstbucker 2 & 3, at risk of becoming unsaleable in time given the number of changes
I took out of the 2012 for me to take this guitar, in the end a new experience rather brief since I sold it, I prefer the Traditional 50/60 and Classic 90
