Made in Korea, 24 frets, EMG81 the bridge and the handle 60 (active humbuckers).
everyone makes it but I have EMG81 2 good 2 different microphones (logo EMG neck pickup is dark gray instead of bright white). but good on the new ESP site, it says that there is a 60 before the handle so it must have been a mistake!
fixed bridge tune o matic type / stop bar modeled on the gibson les paul
3 pots proportional volume bridge, neck and tone + 3-position selector. the two volume pots are weird, they act somewhat together, for example in a central position (the two microphones at the same time), if we drop one of two pots, the sound is down to two. bad connection on the general problem or mine? j'men good form indeed a little bit I use the middle position!
set neck, medium thickness, varnished and painted body color, rosewood fingerboard, inserts "abalone flags" the most beautiful effect.
I have cete guitar in red (STBC), the finish is really superb! painting with the "waves" is really impeccable dark (the back of the guitar is a solid red which leaves the wood show through. I, who had commanded in black at the base, I am not disappointed with the change (because availability) and pleasantly surprised by the final color deeper flashy. it really is a sublime guitar to look at all angles. the only spot in the table is the small plastic plate to the saddle (as mentioned in another review) . well it's not really a fault, but the rest is so beautiful that it's sloppy next!
UTILIZATION
The handle is really nice, well I do not play so many solos, but many agreements which tortured hands hurt after a while. compared to my neck in imitation of strat a bit more aggressive and big but my 7-string Ibanez, I find the handle impeccable. it glides well, no fret noises (just on the half but good playing it safe and not interfere). but the thickness and shape are really good!
on the other hand, as already mentioned, do not rely on the 24 boxes! it goes up to 22, and again, not with the index! like the guitar is not écoppée up, from 17, the thumb is walking on the body and the neck of the guitar! but hey it is a les paul, I knew what I bought!
if weight level, you feel the wood, but it is no exaggeration! still take a fairly broad belt!
I like the bridge, it is easy to find for palm mute and not assault you the palm!
form, well, it's especially nice! seated, the guitar is quite backward compared to that disrupts a scraper type stratum, for a straight in 12, the left hand was aligned with the left leg. if not, when you play above, where the rounded right forearm is a little painful. (Another failure of the les paul shape, not the guitar itself).
8 for ergonomics, but it does not matter I wanted this form! the rest is perfect!
SOUNDS
This guitar can play all styles of metal, even rock.
myself, I listen to a lot of hardcore metal, and this is the typical scratch that! if not for my components that are between hardcore, emo and progressive, can you really be in a range which will inspire you! it is a good les paul but not for the Led Zep anyway! I have my old imitation Start with Duncan for it anyway!
I play with a marshall AVT100, and I use a wah morley bad horsie.
for settings:
you branches, you put all the pots thoroughly in clear you put the EQ of the amp flat, you put micro sleeves and aye! the sound is warm, the crunches are progressive, not very clean but we manage to do good things! for quiet passages is a good position!
you put into overdrive bridge pickup, you lower the middle and aye lol! What is it's heavy! it's still relatively accurate, the palm mute echo is monstrous. in acute send it too!
if not less greasy overdrive, the two pickups are very good as if you are looking for something specific (bridge) or hotter round (round)
I do not use much the center position, I have a pretty good range of sound and I personally do not like the positions to two microphones.
but overall the guitar is more suited to the heavy metal distortion and tuning so low!
OVERALL OPINION
it's been two weeks that I have, and I must say that I'm always on! it's a pleasure! I really found a guitar whose sound is inspiring and fun to play with 100%!
I love her as much fat in clear, its look, the handle, in short I love everything!
I have not tried other models, I wanted a guitar les paul shape, I have relied on the reviews on this site and I went for! it was worth the trip!
I got this guitar new at € 980 (the price of the black) (provide a little more for the normally red), the value for money is really good (thank you korea what!), everything was, finishing , sound, electronics ... a really good buy! I therefore concluded that it is a choice to recommend, really, you can go for it!
