I bought this model from a friend in 1996, 3500 francs at the time (it is a red 1994 model). I was not satisfied with the original pickups (seymour SH1) so I upgraded them with a beefier Dimarzio Paf Pro in the neck position and Tone Zone in the bridge.
This configuration (which is very often found on high-end models of LAG) respects the sound of your guitar and still enables you to play various styles (from blues to heavy rock). I am not very attracted by Jazz though.
I reversed the pickup selector - Van Halen style to easily play tapping licks. This is a detail...

UTILIZATION

This guitar is very nice, the handle is not difficult, and generally is comparable to models GIBSON. (They are former workers who manufactures Gibson Legacy, and the guitars are handmade)
The thickness of the body and the weight is reduced compared to a Gibson but it comes close, however his side.
A small problem for the patent, very fragile (the side of a homemade the old) and once you've found it's stand! ie the one that suits him, do not change (the varnish does not like it and will let you know ...)

SOUNDS

Otherwise, with the change of pickups, it suits me perfectly. The overall sound has not changed yet, but just the output level. (Here we see the importance of a great violin!)
The sound is not aggressive but rather round.

OVERALL OPINION

You have the feeling of playing an intrument exceptional, too little known and unfairly spread. For nothing I would not trade against a Gibson ...
Current prices in nine, however, remain prohibitive.
And I keep a preference for my model rather than the brand new achievements.
