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.
