4.75 "Pitch = 630 mm, width 43 mm nut
2x&nbsp;pickups Artec LPA-310-ASV Humbucker: Vintage High Output-Sound

Compared to the price I put 8 / 10 and the vintage look is modern but still too good.

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&nbsp;&nbsp;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&nbsp; 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)
&nbsp; &nbsp;this is my third guitar after 2 strats almost identical.
