UTILIZATION

The neck is super fun to play for the price of this skyscraper is a remarkable asset. Les Paul I have long tried to find it like before, I tried the Epiphone, but frankly the Cort arrived they did not hold a candle. It's a guitar, Les Paul shape so the access to high frequencies are difficult at the beginning but it very quickly and as a Les Paul, it is very heavy but good. The finishes are really beautiful, my guitar still shines even after a year of torture ;)... Only the knobs are a bit tacky to me. Otherwise the mechanical oil bath are good, it does not Disagree facillement lool.

Edit: more level guitar I admit the lack of ability to twist that is felt especially in the acute, not easy to make a good solo ... but it draws more than glory;)

SOUNDS

Ok, you plug the beast ... EH YEAHH, nan lol the sound is beautiful.
In the neck position, the sound is very warm, round ... sustain a good, fairly mild.
Middle position ... bof no change in egg.
In his position Chevallet a vintage type a crystal-clear coat.

To summarize the sounds are very good qualities but I think the pickups are a bit feeble (especially in the treble).

I play on an all-tube amp and a KMD cube15x.
With the microphones have obtained c sounds good enough to make the disto-HARD ROCK ^ ^
But despite the lack of microphones have what is fun in every style from the softer (folk, pop) than hard (metal, etc. ..)

OVERALL OPINION

It is now over 8 months since I played with and it did not blurry .. no problem in particular.
I like this guitar and I advise all small budget who can not afford a Gibson (arf). For less than € 300 it is really cool.

Edit: I always advise to start with this guitar
