UTILIZATION

To believe that deliveries are not very consistent!
The first impression is good, I remember that guitar worth € 125! I think it was worth the money.
Second printing, we try to play and there is much less. The frets exceed (on mine it was like that!) I have them back to avoid leaving your fingers! Then its level, very good surprise, but not bad at all ... not long, the bridge pickup has to decide to stand by! Since I have some time during the hearing, it depends on the moment, very random.
Well it is not a concern as I expected him to graft the electronics of the Epiphone I bought at the same time, but for someone who thinks using gross stripping is frustrating.
In the end, it remains impressive for its price, but it is not worth three times the price, I experienced live with an Epiphone purchased together. At both finishes as the use we can see the difference, there is still a sense!

SOUNDS

I speak a little in the previous paragraph.
The sound is good, I do not see the need to change the microphone, they are perfectly at the height of the assembly. Compared to the sound of P90 godin (SD) is a little more dense but it's still very usable for fun.
The only complaint the general resonance when tapped from the twelfth fret of the low strings, there is not good at all .... but who will play up there? Still, this is a characteristic of good guitar, it sounds everywhere ...
Regarding the handle, I saw someone talking about a type 50, I got something that looks more like 60 ... finer than the Epiphone eg Epiphone standard plus pro.
FYI, I tested with the beautiful carvin preamp and amp Peavey QuadX fifty-fifty and a Line6 Vetta amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I did that for two or three weeks, not playing much as default microphone!
What I like the most, the price of course! Having a guitar at this price it's unexpected, it was anything but a plaything in the hands!
What I like least, the work to do it to make it reliable.
Other models before you buy, the Epiphones, the Godins, fender, yamaha ... but not Gibson!
Value, good as unparalleled miraculous but still not either, she gives a little more for the price, it looks like a guitar and not a toy.
