Value For Money :
Excellent
Guitar made in Nashville, United States, in the purest tradition Gibson.
It has a big fat mahogany set neck one piece, a rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, vintage mechanical stamped "Gibson Deluxe".
The body is mahogany, flamed maple top quality AAA (the best!).
For the rest, bah is a Les Paul: 3-position selector, 2 Gibson 490R and 498T pickups (read R for "rhythm" and T for "treble"), a volume / tone micro, Stop Bar tailpiece, Tune -O-Matic. Gold hardware and nitrocellulose varnish (like old) applied to the buffer.
I put the polish to 9 "sticky", as in most Gibson and the case pourrave. Apart from that, the finishes are top.
UTILIZATION
The neck is quite wide and not for the shredders, so. Moreover, access to acute is far from fantastic ... for fans stratospheric notes, eyeing more on the side of Les Paul DC in the same price range! I find it rather light for a Les Paul.
I heard she was ringing with any amp. Start with an American side, I find it rather capricious. It needs fine tuning, limiting the effects given the microphones ... and it is in a tube amp it unveils its full potential.
SOUNDS
So there ... we are spoiled! As I said, the pickups are very typical. The output level is impressive. We can consider that it is versatile in that it can be fun in many styles: hard rock, punk, vintage and modern rock, country, blues, funk, jazz, bossa ... but all with a strong personality.
The sounds are thick, heavy and fat, it is far more crystalline sound of the surf rock style Start.
Clearly, crunch or saturated, everything goes.
A good place to rich and mellow sounds of neck pickup simply sublime blues and jazz very nice, and the intermediate position.
OVERALL OPINION
I am overall very pleased.
Only real downside: the case is a real shit. The finishes are disgusting (plasticky coating off in places not connected or ...) when you consider the price of the guitar.
I bought new € 1475 Thomann, even if the guitar is beautiful and sounds superb, I find the price excessive. And say that leaving it cost no less than € 2500! it's certainly not the best quality / price ratio, but the price to pay for themselves the myth guitar.
