Lutherie very Gibson Les Paul
Al sleeve on a body 45mm + 15mm table
Body and handle are in "Mahogany", a term broad enough English that means "Mahogany." This is probably nato (wood approaching Asian mahogany) with 15mm Saddle table, surmounted by a very late plating Saddle ond (the look).
Remarkable transparency Fernandes said openly that there is a "Flame Maple Top Venner"
Rosewood, 22 frets, flat radius of 400mm (16 inches)
Gibson 628mm pitch

Seymour Duncan SH4 Jeff Beck and the famous treble Sustainer HPD-300 in grave
Grover: Mechanical
Fixed bridge type + Stop Bar Tune o Matic
Flight Case the specific shape of the guitar

Electronic hardware and short of very good quality. Prices in public resellers practicing the best prices on the web there for 250 euros mail. A flight case like this should cost around 100 euros. And about 100 euros: Mechanical & easel. We therefore value for money!
Lutherie correct, it is a Chinese guitar affordable, not a guitar luthier

UTILIZATION

The neck is very pleasant, typical end Gibson (slim tapper), so I fits me very well, but with a radius affects flatter than Gibson (400mm by 300mm instead of the Gibson) .
on the other hand who have the habit of Ibanez may be dpays although the radius is 400mm for Ibanez RG.

The balance and treble to the ACCS are good, reasonable weight for a guitar type LP

The contrl are well placed, serine superfluous; slecteur fawn LP 3 positions (on the upper part), 1 volume, 1 Tone and 2 switches for the sustainer.

SOUNDS

The only BMOL this guitar is the serious mic.
Depending sustainer sound is picked up by the microphone acute, severe micro putting the magnetic field to vibrate the strings of Manir continues.
In normal use (without the function sustainer) the microphone produces a serious way, I would by far prefers a good old Seymour Duncan SH1.
I understand that some, like Steve Vai, opt for simple micro version of the sustainer and it sticks a double simple format, to have been planned to the site in a humbucker: a true humbucker (in simple format so) and the sustainer of the coup that never used micro serious but only sustainer.

Outside the SH4 has made its taf
Sustainer function is very nice, very musical, lots easier to use than Ebow, plus the harmonic function, which adds harmonic note you play: DLIR!

I think the versatility of its electric bcp just over the amp and the guitar pickups that she even.
the microphone is generally serious versatile.
The SH4 is already more aggressive with its typ its register is clearly rock, but by varying the volume and by having a versatile amp (not versatile ...) you get get all types of sounds.

7 / 10: Too bad the sustainer is so average function "normal micro"

OVERALL OPINION

I availing oneself of this guitar since 2007

I test and availing oneself of a lot of guitars before. I must say that I mind looking LP with an original look, she is perfect in this area.

I regret the sonority of the sustainer micro serious

I love the shape, the sustainer is DLIR. The Facilities impressive for a Chinese guitar of this price. Competition rarely offers much for the same price, quality price ratio therefore seems to me very good.
I would do this choice!

A good 8 / 10 is a note that applies to its range of instruments recess:
Face shovels sold some 200 euros it is 15/10
Faced instruments upscale maker it is pniblement 5 / 10
