    Guitar German manufacturing

    Solid basswood body, for 350 €, you can imagine that it's good lime ...
    ok this is not a mahogany / maple LP mahogany but a shovel at this price, need to ask questions about the quality of the wood (from, drying, etc..).
    Maple set neck, rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, inlays V VGS (or rather VIG) button

    2 Humbucker EMG HZ
    3-way switch, 2 volumes, 1 tone

    Tune-O-Matic and Stop Tailpiece
    Mechanical oil bath

    UTILIZATION

    Guitar weighs a little but this is a LP style .. access to 2, 3 last unclear notes, for (very) few times I go there, it is a mental and physical preparation!
    Good performance of the agreement, knobs at your fingertips and quite progressive

    SOUNDS

    lime does not color the sound a lot, it is the shape and microphones that will really express themselves.
    I will not describe the EMG but an idea, the bridge compares the SH-4 with less harmonics and less heat gain remains the same. the neck pickup is not great with distortion. They are passive.
    The guitar is so versatile, funk to hard rock, with a high gain amp no problem for Metal (yeah it's EMG eh). playing with volumes, it gets away with a good blues / rock.
    I play a attax preamp (clean and drive to transo tube) to a 15w lamps where I use the power stage and a princeton chorus (125w stereo) and attax 80 (all transo)

    The sound may seem cold to some, the neck pickup is a weak point in the setting. But for entry-level "real" guitar, versatility is there and this guitar can be a gateway (and move towards a style) for someone who wants to get rid of its Chinese 100 €

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 4 years. In a similar line I tried other models (all forms, microphones, wood, etc.). Before buying but when the seller filed in my hands, I had a pinch. ..
    This is a good guitar overall, but not light and versatile microphones in good order (a good mid-range)
    Good balance quality / price! And especially ... it's mouth! This is a guitar that you see everywhere.

    With the same budget, I will look at what is happening now and perhaps in Cygnus' must poke a little, but I know I will not regret this choice by repeating!

    then the sound must say I quite surprised t
    I did not know these mics Asian artec
    and the sound is fabulous (there really potato as they say)
    there really gain in his foot is saturated, we will see the blues or rock hard rock.
    it is also clear in one can even play jazz.
    you can go from the mark knofpler garry moore ...

    not envy a gibson especially considering the price.
    it seems to have a good gibson in the hands of no more gibson does this finish l.

    it is the only range with these lespaul select microphones, others have EMG HZ personal but it's good for the hard but a little too cold for the rest

    OVERALL OPINION

    I am happy with this purchase trs

    I piphone sg faded with a gibson 498T micro

    it really is night and day

    it is more like a Gibson than a piphone

    finished good and original, its really nice

    UTILIZATION

    Thin(as much as my strat)
    Access to the Treble is a little difficult from the 15th Fret and decent from the 19th especially for mid and bass.
    In fact the guitar is thick with mahoganyand maple (wonderful with the gradient)
    there are 2 tone and 2 volume, 1 for each position  I use the medium and which, I think, a little complicated the task (but this is just my opinion).
    For the rest, the guitar responds very well and very clearly to the settings while the 3-position switch is conveniently located.
    The shape is a classic lp and the weight is  ok without unbalancing the guitar.
    weight is "lespaulien" ie enough to make me avoid standing too long ...
    I would say about 4 pounds but I think that's what makes the charm and especially the sound of this LP

    SOUNDS

    in fact, coming into the sound that is just fabulous sustain while being specific enough.
    this actually influences the sound of the amp and is perfect for rock blues and metal, while providing a beautiful roundness of sound clean (the microphones should be there for something)
    but good clear sound I still prefer the normal one strat yds is not for the better AC and if my strat months at the bottom of the closet.
    Personally, I find any setting on this guitar sounds good although I prefer the rhythm position with coarse grain and there the sound is just "perfect" on my Vox VT40 +

    OVERALL OPINION

    Well I bought it just five days ago so I may be missing but still recoil final note I put 8 / 10
    Level look, nothing beats the real view but I find it beautiful.
    value for money is very good (the jack is quite loose and needs to be tightened and 1 tone knob rub the body if not finish level 8 / 10)
       this is my third guitar after 2 strats almost identical.
