It is a les paul, everybody knows!
The pickups are pro burstbuckers are the replica of vintage microphones.
The handle is a 60's profile more than the end of standars before 2002.
All this is excellent but there are two or three things unacceptable, the nut, a filthy piece of plastic even though cut (the strings are at least 1 mm higher than what they should be if it was well earned ... )
Mechanics are pretty bad and do not correct the agreement.
The finish is not the height of the price (on mine the black paint from head sank on the side) it does not hinder the gameplay but that price is a bit much!
Count then a visit to the luthier directly after buying a well-cut bone nut and good mechanical, I do not even speak the adjustable action and is barely anything!
edit, and finally the mechanical hold well enough, you just make sure to tighten the strings during assembly and allow just the right number of turns around the mechanics.
Like that of the bend 2-tone 1 / 2 on the solo whole lotta love (in 10/52 ...) is no problem!
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice, the varnish "glue" a little but it fades very quickly, the sound is amazing!
It's hot, bold, slam, the attack is huge, very hoarse, very good sound of a les paul in fact!
Note that bustbucker are very good pickups, they sound really "old school", it is far from Seymour Duncan and more!
SOUNDS
It was exactly what I play, that is to say cantankerous blues and rock filthy.
I played on a fender concert II of 1983, a Sovtek head or a Mesa Boogie, every time the sound is excellent.
It really is the best (for me) its crunch, the microphones were not cut for metal but for the gibson, I'm crazy madly Led Zeppelin and I can tell you that I am filled with that shovel!
OVERALL OPINION
I dream of this wonder for at least ten years and I finally pay me, I am delighted!
I love her, she is very beautiful (although honeybust flamed) I'm crazy!
I tried a bunch and I know it's the guitar that suits me, each his own after ...
The pros: the look, sound, see the heads of kids that you watch out for the concert! (I have long been this kid!)
The - the price (between 2200 and 3000 € depending on location), finishes (nut, painting ...).
The value for money is ridiculous but it's also what makes the charm of this wonderful guitar, frankly if it was worth € 500 everyone would have the means to pay it and it would not have the same charm, this guitar is merit, patience!
I dream of buying another, black with a Bigsby for example, but that's another story ...
