2009 (chambered) Color Honey Burst

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice but a little déroutant.En effect the appearance slightly rougher finish because it takes some getting used. After that slide very well;).
Side weight, mine is chambered so slightly from the Les Paul. For access to acute Gibson is so if you put the guitar below the belt as Slash, is a bit harder to access;). For audio, you must try it already and there is no amp pleasant surprise: It sounds very good, very resonant.

SOUNDS

When I purchased the guitar, it had the original pickups (Burstbucker Pro). It sounded good in clean although a little crunchy, but with distortion, with a bit of distortion it quickly becomes a mess. In short the microphones do not value quality acoustic guitar. So I replaced it all and set up a Jimmy Page wiring (that's what I get on all my LP). Here it sounds very good. My group was unanimous: all guitars that I brought (Gibson, PRS, Ibanez Custom Shop) bah this is the one that sounds the best:) So I know I can be lucky but c It's true it sounds.
So to the sounds (after modification)
Sounds clear sound with its warm crystalline LP
Overdrive: Sounds very good good medium
Boost: beautiful bump in the medium
Out of phase: one of the finest I've heard out of phase

I play country, rock, jazz in the group and the scratching is a real Swiss Army knife (even country). After in hard metal and it provides too;)

OVERALL OPINION

I scratched the last three weeks. I was looking for a cheap LP with a nice look and sound that bring tears to be able to live without fear of me being shot or to take bread. Mission accomplished.

So for the models I tried (several LP standard, traditionnal Plus, PRS Custom 513 E. Santana strata of Ibanez) I find it a good scratch (good gameplay, its very dynamic).

What I like most about the scratch (after modification) is its Polyval LP with the character. What I like least is the mechanical (when pete rope in concert and they brought no scratches in it is better to backup the mechanical locking).
