Published on 06/27/12 at 03:06description on the website but beware the lag, mine dates from 2007 (bought new for € 370 in store), it does not have the EMG lag but micro alnico humbucker.
Head: Design Roxane, flamed maple
- Mechanical: High precision
- Head Nut: Graphite
- Setting spindle: Two way
- Neck: Maple (Hard Maple), glued
- Fingerboard: Rosewood
- Frets: 22, Silver-Nickel, Jumbo
- Benchmarks: Pearl
- Body: Flamed Maple top on solid mahogany body (Book-matched)
- Pickups: 2 dual-coil EMG HZ (SA-1 neck, TB-1 bridge) / / NOT FOR ME
- Bridge: Stop Tailpiece + Tunomatic
- Electronics: Volume 2 independent with Push-Pull (Split) + 1 master tone, pickup selector 3 positions
- Finish: Gloss / / FRAGILE! > Show global view
- Strings: D'Addario / / string with Elixir sold at the time
The finish has delivered more than adequate, not fret over that, handle set by the maker of the store.
UTILIZATION
handle: hyper pleasant, but not too late, it is far from sleeves typed Gibson (wood log) but halfway between a c-type handle and a handle type strat ibanez (end) ... brief perfect for my small hands, access to acute is greatly facilitated in the set neck.
the varnish of the handle gives the impression of playing on butter ... it slide alone!
When empty, the guitar sounds but lacks a little sustain, this is mainly due to the low wood density: very light.
Indeed, this guitar is a featherweight! to say, it shows up when playing, the guitar tends to bite the neck since it must represent almost 60% of total weight, which therefore creates a slight imbalance in the guitar (body / sleeve).
Personally I like its light weight, you can play with your feet for six hours without feeling any back pain! it's enjoyable!
SOUNDS
When I bought it, I mostly played punk rock.
The two twin confers a heat lespaulienne in the idea that's undeniable, even if in the long run, these microphones may lack potato (a little).
I play this one a little of everything, having left my group as I use it in compositions blending progressive rock, electro sound, at times bordering on trip hop, some jazz ...
And I think in my humble opinion that this is the guitar that reveals all its potential: it is a guitar that can be given in any style, playing with the knobs and micro splittable 7 configurations are obtained micro as possible!
Well even though simple, was not sound as bright with a stratum (or Danny: D), this may do the trick by playing with the amp settings.
The bridge pickup really brings the power and the definition needed for rock, it can even indulge in some metalhead riff.
the neck pickup it is rather to bring the warmth and softness to her, there is no problem here feel the blues or any style that calls for heat.
For me this has sometimes I use a bit throughout the configuration of the micro lag, even though I never much use of the bridge position.
I have always played with a 100 watt amp valvestates without distortion effect with the amp suits me perfectly.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 5 years I have been waiting to put my opinion on this guitar.
I tried for an impressive model.
What I like about this guitar, it's first appearance: she throws it and mm after 5 years together (not like some relationship shall we say: p), I wanted to find the time an alternative is not too expensive gibson and fender without falling into either sub-brands is not in imitations ... then lag, it's French!
(Ok manufactured in Asia but of French nationality anyway ...: p)
I also like the versatility that can flirt with lots of sound.
Moreover, after five years, the guitar aged well at the neck, frets still no freeze, no more and no frets.
What I like least, this is his first patent: it is extremely fragile. and when I say very I mean it ... drop any object above it, and bim an impact ...
So yes it's true that after a 30 ene together it leaves marks, and at first I was extremely careful with this guitar, but even with that, after a year, she had some fart ... tan for the worse could use some varnish ... :/
ultimately, this guitar is a good springboard to a line above, its versatility allows us to better identify our future needs ...
I am currently looking for a new guitar in the high end, I have tried many, (gibson, fender, among others) and I can not find a guitar that totally upsets me, I even think either has to wait a little by changing the pickups of this lag, or take his big sister, the lag RS500 (or any other occas ... may be) even if I have a view on 72 telecaster deluxe.
So for the price, I would do without hesitation that choice!
