UTILIZATION

Channel type "Lespaul", which should not everyone! As against the habitus of the acoustic end up the same feeling of empowerment: the handle comes naturally to press against the palm, you get comfortable quickly. Access in AIGS is average, the shape of the heel does not over-easy off in the del 17me box. Play up, the guitar is heavy (mahogany oblige!) But qulibre, and body shape "Lespaul" poses no particular concern, despite the lack of muzzle. The surprise comes from the sound of the instrument "unplugged" sustain is good, even trs good, you feel the wood vibrate (thank you al the handle!). But first he will have to tighten the t ncessaire mcaniques and inserts the tailpiece to "roam" happily. In the same order of IDE, two bridges are mounted upside down: the CONTRL quality in the state is still Starsun project! Needless to prciser also that the "strings" are replacing the original ds emergency purchase by ropes worthy of the name ... After a few modifications *** (see below), the sound of the guitar once branch is satisfactory, both in the clear (despite the presence of two humbuckers) by going to distos of muscles. The definition is good and his résumé does not "boiled" sound as one might have feared. ***) The potentiomtres show an extreme weakness, it's a bit "all or nothing" as in "volume" that "tonalitquot; .... I've replaced s fast enough APRS purchase, same tone as capacitors that are really fool quality (which is a shame, given the small cot of lments)

SOUNDS

This guitar provides all the sounds made INTERESTED, clean sounds that both saturated. The three positions offered by the slecteur offer a wide enough range to get to the hard-rock, while keeping a good sound DEFINITIONS. The 2 humbuckers provide unabated, which is surprising for an instrument in this price range. Register prdilection of this guitar is still the Blues / Rock with a good "crunch".

Only Mtal fans will have to go their way, this guitar is not really intended this style ....

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 3 years now complment of my other instruments.
I have since made some modifications, the notament blidage Electronic cavities, re-cblage with shielded cable and the addition of a split on the two microphones (APRS removing the covers to sleep rcuprer the son of the corresponding microphones), the split being done by the potentiomtres tone (push / pull).
The handle has not moved a muscle, the frets are nickel, this guitar is aging really well!
100 bought new in a store that closed, I do not regret this purchase.
Reserved only for the chapter that j'mettrai quality of certain finishes, as I mentioned above, and potentiomtres. But with a few turns of a screwdriver and some time to change the electronics, your exact trs obtained is satisfactory.
The addition of the split humbuckers broadens on the low cost range of sounds, too bad cettte option does not appear immediately on the instrument! But for that price, you can not ask for the moon (in fact, even the brand "of references" does not offer this option!)
