«  Les Paul type guitar high quality! »

Published on 07/28/12 at 10:00
Gibson Les Paul type, but this is not a copy!
Made in China I think.
Tun O Matic Bridge (so no vibrato)
Channel 22 cases with reference to a rectangle (to be ugly ... Ok well I go out!)
2 Humbucker from home I think Hagstrom
2 volume knobs, 2 tone knobs, 3-position selector ... And a split!
Perfect finish

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, difficult access to treble from the 17th box (the same time obliges Les Paul)
The weight? Well it weighs! Finally like all the guitars of Les Paul type ... Finally it is heavier than me your wife anyway! (I can come home? Not Always :-/ ^ ^) ...

SOUNDS

I play everything, I plug in a Roland Micro Cube.
The clear sound is excellent, it slams into bridge pickup and micro serious sound turns out to be mild.
With distortion, the guitar you orgasmic triggers a reaction (at the ears of course ...) that roar, it's bold, it's dirty, micro serious sound resembles more of his Les Paul that is very enjoyable!
But! The personal split does not serve me a lot, of course means that the micro is less "powerful" but that does not bring me much.
Finally, even if the particular quality of wiring worthy of the quality of play Marseille in 2012 (BORDEAUX! XD) This lack of care at the electronic level (which is apparently very present in Hagstrom) I asked a few problems:
This may explain the fact that the split does not hug me too, but especially the lack of difference between the intermediate position in its grave. And intermediate postion in the grave if I cut, I did more than simply its

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for over two years, this guitar a perfect finish stands out from the Les Paul, while retaining its legendary gear. One may regret the lack of care is on the electronics can be corrected easily with your favorite luthier.
For 500 euros, we will offer a little guitar "original" that can be taken to Jimmy Page, Slash, or it will break into piggy bank ...
