This is a guitar whose body is mahogany topped with a table Rabl. The neck, mahogany too, is al possde and a rosewood fingerboard, and a net around it and another around the body. There are two humbuckers, two volume, two tone and three-position selector.

UTILIZATION

My copy is a round dot "rounded Lp 59" (the original). It is thick and requires time to adapt to modern music on guitars habitus. Nanmoins, it remains comfortable, even if Access in acute is okay. The big problem remains comfort. The instrument is played trs trs heavy and prolonged standing is a punishment (I did with the ball, I know what I mean). It is well balance, even if it looks a little ct box when playing seated. It regrets the lack of muzzle to the back of the instrument to push the belly of the guitar. Beware ct round button fastening belt is facing upward and has a tendency fcheuse drive belt. It is essential, given the weight, to invest in SRET buttons. I also found the finish a bit of tui "lgre" given the price that rating if the achte alone. I will not talk about the color of the coating indoor (pink) that recalls, at best, a coffin. It got the U.S. ....

SOUNDS

The sound makes you forget everything else. With a guitar like a, Reduces other in silence ds THE FIRST note. Ms. Marchall a JCM 900, a ring! The sound is harmonically rich, bold, long as a day without bread, full of punch and dlicatesse. On a Vox or Fender, it's up, I imagine that it is the same with other amps. By distortion, crunch or clear is the same happiness. In fact, this instrument is, unlike what is often thought, trs versatile. It can be used in rock or blues, but jazz and heavy (which is conceivable with a strat gure). In contrast, in the light rhythmic seem fast enough "overload" because of the wealth and the harsh sound. I had the chance to play a lot of time on The Paul (entry-level Gibson) without table stocky, but with Micor and split. Well is not worth a one standard.

OVERALL OPINION

The sound of this instrument is forgetting the vicissitudes of design time (weight, ergonomics ...) This is a fabulous guitar, the best I lctrique possde. I use it since 1995. In the era, I paid (new) the equivalent of 1400 Euros. When you think it's worth aujoud'hui prs of 2700 Euros, has left rveur. The price has almost doubled while the t current guitars are not twice as good as mine. When you think that the price of the standard strat amricaine remained more or less the same, there is a feeling that the scam. If I do not dj possdais this guitar, I bought it. But I would look for an opportunity to fatten exagrmment plutt that Mr. Gibson.
