Manufactures in the United States in 2000. SERIES N: 02300307.
22 jumbo frets, 2 doubles Gibson 490R 497 T.
+ Bridge tailpiece Tune o 'matic.
2 volume, 2 tone.
Acastillage chrom an eye-catching quality.
Mahogany neck, mahogany body, table Saddle A.
Note that The models manufactured in 2000 are the last have a handle standard (before sparation in 2 MODELS 50 'and 60'), and they are covered with a translucent varnish beautiful, well relatively slow (but hey, it does not speed metal on a Les Paul, unless we MRIT, with a level adquate).
The finish is EX-EMP-Lair! It is well above the MODELS Studio, and more gnralement a galaxy beyond all that is done, even on the PRS mid-range.
UTILIZATION
The handle, trs round, and wide enough for comfort is "rustic", and represents the spirit of the guitar: authentic, and the old. The varnish is far from being fast, but it increases the sensation of contact with the guitar.
CHAC is the acute "Gibsonian," that it is better to have big hands, if not, beware the gym from the 18th box.
The weight is consquent, and it is better to invest in a good strap, and especially in solid strap-locks.
When the sound ... ahhhhh the sound ...
Full, round, singing is the sound of rock, blues! A warm and velvety on the micro serious module that well with the volume gradually, ideal for the blues. A full and muscular with sharp micro, can be softened with the volume up to become frle, and flexible sound of flute and a more soft rock with the Tone is a marvel 'efficiency.
With a little practice, you can do anything with this guitar: jazz, blues, funk, pop, rock, metal ... Micro, aids with good volume and tone trs effective, can apprhender all styles, except everything that is base speed: trash, speed and the whole shebang, unless have a level adquate!
SOUNDS
Nirvana (paradise, not the group ...)
What can he find default, except that it does not sound Stratocaster??
Some great pickups, volume and tone trs effective (this is rare), sustain a crazy, impossible dsacorder (even with bends in two-tone) ...
With a Marshall, a face in all directions, with a Mesa, you lose bagguy with a Fender hallucinates it (its a big Fender, if-if there was ...). All amps are wonderful.
So of course, we regret the lack of sensitivity in his clear, or only the position of intermdiaire slecteur CASC provides softer sounds, but it's good, knowing that any time we can extract the music! So, I put that 9.
OVERALL OPINION
I have since 2001, not only is it more beautiful (the varnish patina), but also it sounds better and better!
I also have a Start and a Custom Dean, and even when it's something ...
So of course, according to the tastes of everyone, it will not please everyone: the weight, lack of flexibility (albeit with volume and tone, you can do anything), style (we can not love), the lack of fast and especially the price!
Say that I almost bought it a few years ago MODEL Epiphone, PRS, or a low-end! Fortunately, I knew to be patient, and believe me, you can not regret that choice, at least not wanting this type of guitar (because it is not either a Start or an Ibanez ...)
