Lâg Roxane Standard R100ST

basswood body, maple top 3 +3, maple neck bolted Form C, 22 jumbo frets, bridge Tunomatic, made in PRC.
2 humbucker mounting series, 2 volume, 1 tone, a 3-position switch.

my note? - 7 -: The value for money is good, but you can find better.

UTILIZATION

the neck of the beast is easy, very easy to see the satin finish does not interfere with the movements of the hand. mass is low (lime) which limit fatigue when standing.
the heel of the guitar is fairly inconvenient for access to acute, but it is not a guitar with a set neck ... can do better on this point. LP as DC is not the best there is to play sitting
Note: - 8 -

SOUNDS

the sound with the original pickups is not unusual with a small amp, enough draft in its saturated. clean sound it's own without being fantastic.
on a modeling amp (VOX DA20), it is possible to get a clean sound, but the sound definition is clearly the pick.
on the JCM800 it goes a little better, blues crunch sound or usable, big sound drooling beyond ...
Note the original config: - 5 -

changing the pickups is another world, for a total price of around € 450 (€ 250 + guitar pickups € 160 + € 40 knobs, labor included) (2 Dimarzio D-Activator + 2 pushpull 500k + tone + 1MB capacity .22 uF)
Note custom config: - 9 - (perfection is not of this world)

OVERALL OPINION

follow me this guitar for 3 years is a good choice to start, even if it is not perfect: the finish is that of a guitar at 250 €, no more ... the varnish is of good quality, the color is beautiful (Blue Shadow) the hardware is okay, but the bridge fades a little fault of palm-mute frequent ...
good value for money.
my rating: - 7 -

Not bad for START
Asia manufacturing china but it certainly is not specified on the back of the head as often ...
fixed bridge-type stop bar similar to Gibson lespaul
24 frets of memory
adjustment lespaul typical way, microphones separated or in common control with separate volume

UTILIZATION

handle it pleasant but not slide masses I tested better
good ergonomics but the guitar is somewhat heavy indeed
Acute attack is his thing too aps it is more on rhythm guitar as a solo / shred

SOUNDS

Yes to rock / pop so it's ideal policy or heavy metal sound pq not feasible ...
I had no amp

OVERALL OPINION

I had two years before selling it because I did not play more
what I liked least by far is its weight that weighs even when
I had the time to pay the 200 € and for the price / quality ratio to be exercise and / or start that's fine.
The pickups are not extras it deserves an exchange but otherwise I was happy and had a good time love

Rs100
nothing to say
she is pretty
info attention to the pictures give the impression that the body is blue in the center and black around the edges ... in fact it is turquoise blue in the center to the edges for the royal blue version

UTILIZATION

The handle:
the handle is very pleasant, quick to play, I personally come from a fender mexico and I vraient feels more comfortable than the fender.l 'access to acute and did not always easy, especially after the 18th case .
the sound is really not bad at all for the taking I know much more expensive guitars that are not better ...

SOUNDS

The RS100 ensured well in all styles at least with my digitech pedalboard GNX1 art preamp and I have never had a better sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week and every day
it's a guitar for the price (about € 300) worth every penny.
only negative lag and constantly exceed the demand then it is not uncommon to wait a recevoir.si me before I do it again takes a ofSuite Besides, I think my next guitar will be a lag arkan

guitar design in Asia.

UTILIZATION

At the very beginning I found the handle surprisingly late compared to my old Les Paul DEVOID imitation brand. Then you get used to, and then pressure is less important to hold a bar chord, which is an advantage in his left hand tired.

With regard to access to acute, it is perfect until the 17th fret. In addition, we arrive at the junction sleeve / body, so the thumb is a little less comfortable, hand nothing prevents access to the last fret.

The ergonomics are good and the weight just fine. No problem to play in a prolonged standing.

SOUNDS

I'm more oriented to Nofx punk, but I play ska, a bit of hardcore (David TMX for those who know). The dual microphone behind suitable for good saturation plump. Obviously, for a guitar at this price point, the sound is not to "fall on your ass", but nevertheless I am satisfied.

I play on a Marshall MG 100 dfx, since I was my Lag, I totally rediscovered.
I admit from time to time in C # and it still sounds good (pulling used is .011 -. 049, with the extra light I doubt that such a tuning can get out any own .. .)

The sound of this guitar is low in a Les Paul bass.
As for the nut, it seems to me vrément lower than the normal attention to frisouillages then, but with some adjustments, we obtain a good compromise height of strings / sound without frieze.
We must not forget that it is a entry level guitar .... on a budget, its consequent ...

OVERALL OPINION

- Purchase Date (New): 04/04/2006
- What I like most: his look, the handle end
- What I like least: the mechanical
I try an Ibanez RG in the same price range, I can not tell you the model ... In any case, it did look good simpa: 2 double microphone, a switch 5 positions for split the double simple ... but if I remember correctly, it had a floyd rose and it was too much detail ...
- Value for money: rather good
- I do not think I will make the same choice the next time I will put in more for better quality and better sound
