USE

Very good guitar, the neck is really much faster and ergonomic it seems this one is more varnish allowing to slide more easily and thus improve the rapidity and your neat sound.

Well it's a Les Paul ... so forcment pass the 20 th box he'll have to be flexible, but a few hours of training to get used enough and enter the 24 th no big box problems, it's not a good SG either.

In terms of weight, I can balance an other working pretty well and my shoulder supports it very well for hours without flinching.

For a sound that's easy, volume and tonality has thoroughly 8/10 it's plug & play!

SONORITS

The pickups have a reputation that is more to do, the emg60 (handle) has its very hot and serious enough clean sound and allows very beautiful arpeggios and a big sounds for the rhythm including distortion the EMG81 (bridge) is a powerhouse distortion which leans much more towards the treble, nothing can stop the armoniques ressortes no problem, really very typs hard rock and metal (James Hettfield singer and guitarist Metallica uses the same) the association of two micro some versatility gives this guitar, really good!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use this guitar for 1 year, and apart from the problem of ergonomics of the type of guitar (Les Paul), there is not much to complain about, good microphones, a good look etc ...

I mostly use it when I actually should play a pretty piece preferring Mtal used my Stratocaster for the rest but this guitar can play with a very namoins raging distortion and very clean.

By against big disadvantages of this guitar as it is a given LTD and not a real ESP is its sttique finishes, varnish on the body is very bad bill and although the matte black model is very nice when we dbale his guitar, a week is enough to see him dgrader, heuresement after a few weeks the differences makes it most.

The price quality ratio is quite good when compared to a PSE but some amrque as IBANEZ can do better now for less (well it ets what I think).

with the experience and my new way I would opt for a real ESP overcharged or even a Gibson overcharged.
