UTILIZATION

Handle quite nice although a thinner profile would have been more. However, having the habit of playing on a studio faded over so gross, I think the perfect varnish allow a drag.

The weight is the signature of gibson, I love ....
Access to acute freight is not necessarily easy given the positioning sleeve body and the thickness of the table. Live well kept, there arrives Bossant.

SOUNDS

Sound: there is the holy grail of Gibson, fat and grain of the standard are as good as clean or crunch that drive further.

However, it is best expressed on the crunch and drive thicker.
More, the push pull knobs for: in clean, quite recovers some slamming and shiny. I pull (pull) the microphone volume low or high and the micro single .... behaves more clarity and transparency, but also out of breath.

The burstbucket are excellent bills, a little "rough" sometimes imprecise, but nevertheless quality and character Gibson!! we do not ask them to do Fender (oh how perfect shot!!)

I use a marshall:

One channel to drive 5 of JCM 2000 or AFD 100.
8 = acute micro drive
Micro sleeve sweater 4 = crunch
I change the sound by changing the microphone: clean to drive ... very very practical

You can also live past the microphone without serious tone to the amp, allowing a more crude.

Guitar well tempered, we're on the Gibson and stays there.
But it allows very fine adjustments through a diversity significant, I would say a range of nuance ... gibson blues to rock to see hard rock, metal, not really ....

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months now, and frankly, I love this guitar, its color to its sound, its finish, the smell of varnish.

It's been 20 years I have dreamed of, and really, I'm not disappointed.
The eternal melancholy of "it was better before" or followers of models "Vintage" from gibson with microphone mounted models 57 and 57 were most certainly right, but the budget is definitely not the same.

I played on a bland studio mounted alnico slash gameplay side and frankly, it's another world.
I played washburn is much fatter
I tested a series lespaul vintage, it is almost quite similar gameplay side (minus his side with 57 of the vintage)
Played on an SG bland impression on the Les Paul really have a real guitar in his hands.
Sg is the Rock that rockabily

A buy if budget
