Les Paul guitar shape with the possibility of split mics, here is the detailed description:

- Corps Acajou (thickness 45 mm) with flamed maple top (10 mm)
- Mahogany neck
- Touch wood composite benchmarks Pearl Blocks Hagstrom
- Setting spindle H-Expander
- 648 mm
- Mechanical Hagstrom oil bath
- 2 micros Hagstrom Custom 58, 3-position selector
- Tune O Matic Bridge with string Hagstrom block
- 2 volumes, 2 tones, mini micro switch for split

It costs about 570 €. I do not know where it was manufactured (China, Korea ...). Nothing to say yet on the finish. It is frankly nickel. The knobs, the mechanics and all hardware is of good quality.

UTILIZATION

The guitar is heavy but well balanced. The handle is comfortable thanks to the sidelines Resinator (composite made in Hagstrom). No problem to access the treble. This is not the easiest race to play than I have tried but that's to get everyone's opinion.

SOUNDS

I use this guitar on a Marshall Valvestate 100 and a Fender Champion 600. No need to break the head and just plug the guitar sounds great! The clean sound is beautiful. The bass is very present but the sound is well defined. This is particularly significant when using the bridge pickup with a good distortion.

My style of music: blues, rock, jazz. This guitar gives me satisfaction. It is really super versatile. The Split Micro further extends the possibilities. In short, I do not think there is a style of music this guitar can cover. Above all, there is no need to take this head so that the guitar sounds and being able to find the sound that interests me.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for over a year and I could not do without. The price / quality ratio is excellent.
I really like this guitar and I frankly find it flawless. Maybe I find if I could afford to buy a Gibson ;-)

For those who did not understand, I really recommend this guitar. Since this brand is not well known in France, you may be a little difficult to find one. However, it was not really hesitate to try it.
