<strong>Objective approach:</strong>
The detail of this guitar is available on the internet for the lazy and those still struggling with the Internet, it is a guitar:
- With two body parts with a mahogany table in 2 parts maple AA
- Made in the USA ... maybe.
- With two Alnico V humbuckers
- A dial tone and volume by microwave
- A handle carved in one piece bonded, certified a rosewood fingerboard
- List price: more than EUR 2'000 .00
- New Price paid: EUR 1'086 .00

<strong>Subjective approach:</strong>
The guitar is very pretty, very rounded and smooth in its forms. The faded finish adds a little something nice for. The instrument seems fragile, would not only because of the part that links the head to the handle, unbalanced, or inclination of the stick rather marked. I would have the balls to hook her strong ties. I also note that the junction neck / body is not organic.
Big BOUUUUUH ... for woodwork are moderate and reflect what one might find on a good guitar mij Korean or mid-range (beautiful greenish tinge to the wood table, which emerged as particularly lighting, but not too photo). The coating is affixed in a hurry, we relayed especially near the cut to his hand or we discover a wooden squarely pitted (badly sanded if you prefer), the nets are finished in a hurry (Tramble in laying along the handle), I found the chip in some gaps on the guitar, it frieze at the handle from the 11th fret. For more than 2,000 euros, that's not very serious. !
Last point which surprised me. I had always heard that Gibson's body had a room, I tried to date or Custom Zakk Wylde signature and it is indeed a big surprise that the body is in two parts. Please note, this does not diminish the sound capabilities of the instrument.
<strong>[3]</strong> no splits and timber means for the price.
UTILIZATION
Ergonomics is gibsonnienne. I am very surprised to cash the weight of the beast, even on long gigs, but the weight remains unsuitable for a frail teenager. The handle in D, profile 60's is well lets take charge and allows a fast game, frets are well polished on the edge but the finishing work is irregular (nes see previous chapter on the "crimping"). However, we quickly found his bearings for a multitude of styles. Access to treble is poor in comparison with what is on the market. The lack of split is unfortunate.
It is very easy to get good sound with this instrument.
<strong>[6]</strong> efficient sound ergonomics of yesterday and asked for certain concessions.
SOUNDS
The scope of this guitar is interesting. When empty, there is a sharp singing, a medium and a serious inflated resonant with a very good sustain overall, this is confirmed by plugging the device into an amp.
The sound of the Alnico V is unique and changes the sound of 498T and other character more vintage mics I've tried.
With a nice clean, like a guitar being used in books rock, pop and blues. To a gain on 7 / 8, she is efficient and well documented. Beyond that point, I find the sound too forced and less pleasant. Note also that the sound is very "mushy" in hot position, which may be a characteristic sought by some. Sounds with the tone knob on bright are beautiful, all intermediate positions bring something. Nothing is thrown away.
It will be a good tool for fans of fusion and crossover styles who want to have several sounds in one instrument. It is also very nice for use in a pop record with its clean sound clear. I also found interesting uses for jazz and blues.
<strong>[9]</strong> very interesting from a sound
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for three weeks. I planned to sell it for more than what I had purchased, and eventually I'll keep a while. I like his sound and his side "Swiss army knife of sound." By-cons, its list price is ridiculously high and nothing justifies it. If I look at it, the price / quality ratio is very bad and it is not advisable. Note that the ergonomics are questionable and that the beautiful seems fragile to travel with professional use in cargo compartments of aircraft.
If you find it for 1,000 euros and a few that I paid is a fair price for an instrument that will provide good sound performance.
<strong>[2]</strong> price / performance ratio in net disadvantage, the market offers more advisable for this award. For those who want a Les Paul and want quality, you can turn to manufacturers such as Tokai, Jet, Dean (with his Evo premium) or Xavier Petit and get away with reporting perf / price more convincing.
