Made in USA.
No vibrato of course.
Micro switch 2 positions.

Beautiful brown / red musty vintage (it was originally what color? Lol)
The body looks exactly like any other ringtone maker I have ever seen.
It would be closest to a HOFNER colorama both its form and easels.

UTILIZATION

The handle has melted in my car during a heatwave on the way to a ball.
The neck is very flexible and slides are simple to perform because the strips are very thin.
Guitar platform that does not follow the lower abdomen, but not unpleasant.
Mics blow a little, but the sound is powerful and very fat.

SOUNDS

It's fine for rock (rhythm, chords) and the musette (dry).
Less good for solo (or so it's my foot?)
Used with an amp Roland JazzChorus 70s.
The sound could be better but powerful distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

My first electric guitar inherited from my father who was bartered against his SG that had the handle broken.
At the time, it cost 4000 or 5000 francs which is already a bit expensive.
It is a model I like a lot because I never found the same or even online encyclopedias on guitars / gibson, in my view it is unique.
It takes a little to the MM62 and 64 both double cut, with a color SG ...
In short, it's vintage fashion!

I do not play it, I will send maybe in the workshop to have it refinished Gibson because the handle grip viciously, and rusting machinery a little.
