UTILIZATION

HANDLE
The handle is very enjoyable for a Les Paul type U
It is very comfortable is does not catch. An adjustment period is necessary only if you play or handle type strat Super Start (ibanez etc ...) but over time you realize the value of a good large round, thick to sustain the good but not So too fast.
CHAC is easy to treble up box 21 ... even to the 24 th fret (with large hands like mine)!

ERGONOMICS
The ergonomics are great! It has many bevels comfort! (Stomach, hand)
I love the shape of the head which gives it a unique charm.
It weighs his weight, and it is rather good for the future ... an LP that weighs nothing ca aging badly it seems.

COMFORT PLAYING
Very very nice to play sitting or standing! It does not look (too) a cot or the other.
Despite its small weight (oO)! The rosewood fingerboard is inlaid with a rgal to play for our little fingers!

HARDWARE
The Sperzel mcaniques make something change strings quickly torch!
The Earvana nut gives an implacable precision instrument ... it is really stunning!
The Tune O Matic home Tone Pros is of very good quality.
The three together make this guitar an instrument, if properly rgl dsaccorde which is really very little. We can bourrines on bends ca not move!

SOUNDS
The density of wood (mahogany) and EMG gives it a sound very raw and brutal.
As will be understood below ... beautiful is made for hard rock and mtal ... but not only!

SOUNDS

This is a test of color diffrent sound of the guitar. With the same piece for a reliable comparison (You Shook Me All Night Long by ACDC)

Clear sound pickup (EMG 81): http://dl.free.fr/dEVdoApty/clairchevalet.mp3
Its clear neck pickup (EMG 60): http://dl.free.fr/gMqyycNvp/clairmanche.mp3
Its clear EMG81 + EMG 60: http://dl.free.fr/fFqCQBAKC/clairchevalet_manche.mp3
As can be seen in the clear micro saturate very quickly (requires active pickups) but the sound is dynamic and Dfine! Funk possible with a slam. Dtracteurs of the EMG have they tried?

Crunch sound pickup (EMG 81): http://dl.free.fr/dkcnPBgA0/crunchchevalet.mp3
Its crunch neck pickup (EMG 60): http://dl.free.fr/aajvnDjeI/crunchmanche.mp3
EMG81 crunch + EMG 60: http://dl.free.fr/nMYpBPzpH/crunchchevalet_manche.mp3
Crunch in the sound has a large output level (I fall here), rich, clean and not slimy! Love! We understand the meaning of the word "crunch"

Its saturated bridge pickup (EMG 81): http://dl.free.fr/k22vEcjvu/sature_chevalet.mp3
Its saturated neck pickup (EMG 60): http://dl.free.fr/ckSW2mScD/satur% C3% A9_manche.mp3 ( http://dl.free.fr/ckSW2mScD/satur%C3%A9_manche.mp3 )
Its saturated EMG81 + EMG 60: http://dl.free.fr/jqySKRWLv/sature_chevalet_manche.mp3
Saturated in the sound takes on its size! Wealth, a diabolical precision sustain ... crazy! It&#39;s all good! Output level for the size lev obviously the hardest metal and rock from all backgrounds!
And a final test with the Lead on DIFFERENT song (Cliffs of Dover Eric Johnson / The Spirit Carries On Dream Theater

Its Lead saturated with delay and reverb: http://dl.free.fr/kWZDKliCi/Lead_sature_delay.mp3
Its Lead saturated with delay and reverb 2: http://dl.free.fr/gLjDHDQQl/Lead_sature_delay2.mp3
The EMG withstand extreme distortions, even blinds effect as here! The rponse is superb. It&#39;s almost an apprenticeship to master such a sound! The rendering is really good, the harmonics out of themselves.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 months and I am very happy. This choice I would do without hesitation.

The outstanding violin (yes sir!) At a price dfiant any competition!

The wood chosen, the set of microphones and very good quality fittings make this instrument a guitar type, gross, to the charms captivating visual and sound!

For that price you will not find better. I bought 865 euros (discounted 10%)
The report qualitprix is ​​exceptional as this guitar.
