UTILIZATION

The guitar, wanting a copy of Les Paul has all the advantages of LP: the hot, dense and vibrant, but also all its drawbacks: quite heavy, and access to acute non-existent. But after all we do not ask him more! ;-)

The handle, although quite thick proves very comfortable to use. He does not tire the hand, you just have to ask the latter to be installed. The feeling of comfort while being already installed, just feeling all alone. This guitar is super fun to play, provided he agrees to go well in, and not just be a spectator of his guitar. This is the kind of guitar where you have to get involved with his body to make it sound good, and that&#39;s just total happiness!

In short, it is in the spirit Les Paul without a doubt, and it is super nice feeling to feel like!

SOUNDS

And there is a vamp!

Already empty, the guitar sounds very very good. Each agreement can feel the wood vibrate and these vibrations are felt everywhere on the guitar, which is a sign that the wood used are of good quality! Already, it seems to have not just a guitar, but rather a musical instrument.

And that feeling of getting better quality does when you plug the beast. I like an amp peavey bandit 112, an excellent amp with a clean transition really superb! And SRLP only reinforces this point there: the clean is very warm with the neck pickup. It&#39;s a real joy to play with! Not too drool or saturate, you get a bluesy sound very addictive and it was like hitting improvisations hours and hours! The neck pickup split loses some of its power, but still very usable. It loses a bit of density and roundness to get closer to sound fenderien: P

For crunch, again it is pure happiness! The neck pickup proves once again that it is very round and warm, this is largely due to beautiful medium frequencies generated by this microphone! The bridge pickup is very dynamic and nuance of attacks are highly leveraged. The knobs are very very responsive to them elsewhere. You can go from a big crunch to a slight crunch by turning the volume pot a bit. Brief good at this level! At the risk of repeating myself, we&#39;re really in the spirit LP! Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, gun&#39;s, acdc, all are included in everything that can be done in the field of rock and hard rock in general.

And that spirit is also reflected when you push a little volume and the gain: the guitar in saturation is doing well too! The bridge pickup is set to grow there enough gain, but retains the same time a lot of heat and density. It is at once very heavy in a record 70-80&#39;s when the gain is pushed. After the guitar is not really made for either of the large modern metal, (so the big bad of you, go your way ... although with the configurator and soon the EMG available .. why not! ).



OVERALL OPINION

Mind LP is really there, and it&#39;s just this one sentence could summarize the guitar.Elle does well to jazz, to heavy, to of course and even especially in blues, rock and hard rock, where it flourished.
The guitar is really not much to envy the gibson. Noise level is indeed a great tool. Two-three finishes worries (ptite a spot under the clearcoat on the back of the guitar, a tiny "poc" on the head, nothing too short), but only after all the details. And above that, the icing on the cake, so my enthusiasm is proportional to the sound quality of the guitar is mostly due to price: approximately 500 € for this jewel.

At that price, one can say that finally, SR is not the only brand to play in this area of ​​Gibson copy cheap, but be aware that this is not just a copy that reproduces the features of LP but an instrument in itself, which deserves to drop a few hundred dollars extra to get it! But the policy of the brand is the best tool to make the cheapest possible, we are left with little real gem finally very accessible!

For the curious among you who would like a very good guitar with the spirit LP not too expensive, DARK! You will not be disappointed! And even I would advise anyone wishing to buy a les paul to look very seriously at the brand! Afterwards, nothing prevents those who want to pay 2000-3000 bullets just to have the myth, the reputation and the "spirit Gibson" in their hands to buy a Gibson ... However if you want a very good instrument with the spirit Les paul for not too expensive, I suggest you SR!

The pros:
- Value for money UNBEATABLE
- The spirit is there LP
- The Violin and acastillage
- The price again!

The -:
- A little loan all the inconveniences of a real LP (is this a negative point so far? ..)
- Two-three finishes concerns (without affecting the sound)
- We have no desire to play guitar on the other once you tried it ..
