    Made in Korea, Floyd Rose bridge, neck 24cases
    The microphones are installed:
    - A double neck position
    - A simple intermediate position
    - A double bridge position

    Possible settings are:
    - 1 volume
    - A serious
    - An acute
    - A simple selector / humbucker
    - A 5-way switch
    What makes this instrument can get different tones 9 + 1 by-pass position and all without amp simulation ;-).

    UTILIZATION

    Everything is pretty well made despite its Asian manufacturing.
    The handle type highway, correct weight, easy access to acute.
    Given the possibilities of switches everyone gets the sound he wants so easily. Then it's the fingers that make the difference.

    SOUNDS

    It can accommodate many styles of music.
    It has a very personal sound due to the Epiphone pickups that are not necessarily the best but you may have typed sounds Fender and Gibson sounds typed.
    The bridge pickup is not unpleasant, usually they are quite noisy and have some fishing in this price range but not that one.
    Intermediate positions that are mixing two microphones are very typical metal mediums, to love.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had 13 years and it was my first guitar:
    - I played three years
    - It remained in its cover 5 years
    - I replayed 2 years
    - It remained in its cover three years (I switched to the bass)

    And there I am from out because my brother wants to test a little guitar (he plays drums) and nothing has ever changed:
    - Floyd held the almost perfect agreement in the years of storage
    - The frets have not changed one bit
    - The knobs and switches do not spit at all
    - The pickups come out the same sound

    The more she matured more I find nice. The body and head inverted gives a devastating look while remaining simple.
    The gold hardware that I found a little kitsch has skated for the use and is now close more brass than gold which gives it a small side "vintage" hehe.

    It will be hard to repeat this choice because this model is discontinued.
    He was arrested in 1998 and was reissued from 2008 Epiphone version of "Designer" but without the head or the reverse switch single / double coil.
    I think these changes caused him to lose his personality as much as physical sound.

    The woods are correct trs (we quickly basswood and poplar)
    The Epiphone pickups, dune Manir gnrale: blah!
    Laccastillage Epiphone, dor here, dune Manir gnrale: medium
    Lutherie correct by laying back

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is trs cool, very large but easy to play! I think its a compromise between a Gibson neck Slim Taper neck and a 1960 Jackson!
    Systm fixing the body / handle and shape are such that linstrument CCAA treble is excellent because the heel begins the 19th case and the handle sencastre litt generally in the body as a set neck but reinforced with 4 screws! The body of 21me comments box at the bass string and 22me at the upper strings!

    The guitar is well balance, nor can it be that the horn suprieure moderately comfortable sitting but I quibble!

    The purpose of this guitar is both dobtenir sounds Fender Start and Gibson Les Paul sound! Do prsence of the two switch positions in a position that gives the three microphones simple and exactly the same combinations as a Start! Lautre position and the switch switches only two humbuckers which gives the configuration dune Les Paul, the 4th position of the microphone giving slecteur cbl with acute diffrent (the filter Tone knob for both active), the 5th position gives no sound: Friends of Tom Morello hello.
    It has 9 sounds + the possibility of making silent guitar with only 2 switches! Trs guitar so versatile while remaining simple OF USE;)

    The Schematic of DIFFERENT sounds depending on the positions of the switches:

    SOUNDS

    Sounds empty
    Alder body Bolt Saddle + / rosewood Fender + + pitch vibrato, Obviously we are in the kind of sound type Fender Start and not at all in the kind Gibson Les Paul. A bit less true slamming quune Start can be

    Electric sound:

    I do not mexprimerais original post on the sound of the guitar nayant not test the microphones Epiphone. Moreover, I immediately find the DiMarzio X2N on this guitar, so I limped dun comment on the sound of the electric guitar and sound possibilities in the practice of the original electronic

    OVERALL OPINION

    Personally jadore:
    The profile of the handle
    CCAA dernires boxes to handle exceptional vissbr /> The look
    Lergonomie (from micro intermdiaire blah, blah and volume knob)
    The range of sounds (on paper not a true test)

    Otherwise, an Epiphone Heiniger cest ben! What not a Gibson, do not RVer for the same price when.
