Sound Raiders « really énoooooooome »
Published on 02/14/14 at 05:51Made in FRANCE
Mine is Amber Shades and dated 2010 (color option if I understand) GORGEOUS!
Good everything has been said, see previous comments. Mine is equipped with Di Marzio (now with Seymour SH1 SH4, it seems). This was the point that made me hesitate before I start. I play covers of 60's 70's blues, rock, hard rock and I was afraid that the microphones are too modern and well: quenini! It's very musical.
I find it just a lack of progressivity on the tone knob but I quibble!
UTILIZATION
This guitar is a real pleasure. The handle is for me a real highway (well it is not an Ibanez course). I usually play on Strat and then slap: immediate grip, varnished handle that does not stick to your fingers (not like the SG 61 'reissue, quickly sold elsewhere), access to acute really well for a shovel size Les Paul. The instrument is well balanced, it sounds empty and we feel we do a good (very good) shovel. Once connected, the idea we have a guitar at this price point makes sense. It is full, the harmonics are beautiful, and say shit ah yeah still!
No doubt about the capabilities of this guitar to age.
SOUNDS
I play in a band of 70's covers and reviews the standards of the time: Hendrix Led Zep, of Floyds CCR, the Stones The Who, Steppenwolf etc. .. This shovel is tailored for the Rock. Here is my config:
Guit, Boss TU3, Wha, Red Muck, ISP Decimator, Throbak overdrive boost, Boss GE7, Strymon Lex (GPA)
In the loop (Strymon El Capistan, Strymon Bluesky, Hiwatt Tube Tremolo)
AMP (Egnater tweaker 40 + 2 HEAD 1X12 CAB) and repeated in club
Marshall JMP 4145 and Country Club in 1978 4X10 Celestion Rola for dates exterior.
This Lag sounds with my two config and I must admit that I am overwhelmed. It's hot, creamy, whether neck pickup or bridge. split micro done his job, but does not equal the crystal clear sound of a single microphone or Strat Tele. However, it is more than adequate and is very very musical and well defined.
Are extra crunch, and lead has a sustaaaaaaaaaaaaaain endless.
OVERALL OPINION
I got on (happy) exchange 3 weeks ago and yet I was not party to Lag.
I wanted a Les Paul at the base. This shovel was presented to me and I fell madly. Exemplary finish, color Amber Shades gives it a great side class all combined with a disconcerting playability.
I could not have me new offer. the previous owner had paid a little more than 2500 euros. But the price or I had was a real bargain!!
I had an SG 61 'REISSUE an artist signing Eric Clapton Strat, a Duesenberg Starplayer, a classic 60's Strat player and this is by far the best shovel I had in my hands. I've never had however Gibby Les Paul Standard, PRS Custom so I can not compare. Now to read the various comments on the quality of approximate Gibby produced in series (not custom shop models or supreme), I think I made the right choice and then shit: Cocorico!
this guitar made in France proves that has very good shops that can compete with the Americans Giants.
