It's a Gibson All American II makes Nashville Tennessee United States, economic MODEL manufactured by Gibson from 95 to 98.
Overall it's the shape of the Melody Maker, but refines the level of the horns: this makes it a little guitar into trs enjoyable (as SG). The pitch is the same as Start.
Whole body and mahogany set neck, beautiful sunburst finish "dark wine". Channel 24 frets, treble incredibly accessible. The key is to bne it seems a fairly flat radius.
We regret the ineffectiveness of the Fender vibrato type, which causes a mass loss of mahogany that makes up the body and gives a little tuning dlicat stabilize.
The pickups are two simple, but beware it is in Gibson: sharp and power! A three-position switch, one tone and one volume, all extremely effective!
The neck profile is like that of a stratum, but there is an end in the heel and AIGS is closely compared to a Fender Bolt.

UTILIZATION

Submitted handle a flat profile, the frets are polished with srieux returning Gibson. Access in acute wonderful you your box as the 20 th would be the 12th on a Start!
The form is enjoyable, note that the rear of the body is fawn to fit the body as a stratum.
The weight is relatively lightweight compared a Les Paul! Beautiful balance, it does not sting the head!
The rglages are a dconcertante efficiency, like a good Telecaster!
The middle position allows attacks bluesy, sound microphones are closer to the P-90 of PCHE than just Fender.
Ergonomics is closer to a baby or small Les Paul Junior.
The sound bite has a unique ... all people make a face when they see the microphones simple, yet they have nothing do with those of a stratum (NSX microphones and mounts on NightHawk Melody Maker).

SOUNDS

This guitar is totally her I'm looking every day I immediately find a little more. I play soft rock to punk, funk and soul ... This instrument is incredibly rough terrain. Obviously, needless to say it is not for playing John Petrucci Joe Satriani or!! :-D
I play on my small 65w Peavey Studio Pro, but I admit that it shines on Marshall! I expect the whole plug into a lamp, to see the effect ...
The neck pickup gives a warm sound trs as serious on the mic a Jaguar, but the violin sound even more color in the medium / severe. The pickups tend buzzer a little, but nothing inquitant, just as your amp is properly connected to the earth.
The bridge + neck position can "dig" her fawn the Start, but be careful, however, it retains a warmth that is missing on Fender say ... it's like a combination of two P-90 on an SG junior!
When the bridge pickup is a killer!
Memory for the single microphone, almost as "fat" as double taient Gibson Nighthawk on some mountains in the middle position. APRS research, it is the rare NSX Rhythm 860-31224-L Lead and Lead 860-31223 NSX-L. These microphones are directly traverss by screws that attach to the body. Their output level is poustouflant! Between 7.70 and k 8k, fall! I have a stratum hotrail parat that skinny compared well!
Other dtail, it is so versatile that it also shines slide!

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using a six months, - say December 2006.
The only place I Reserved is the place taken by the dfonce vibrato, it would prfr a Tune-O-matic type bridge or a "hardtail". But who knows, I might be in ProCD rglage vibrato block and walk away!
I cracked this MODEL silent because it used only 600. The report price is exceptional quality, I had doubts seeing that she could not find a buyer. It shines. Too bad Gibson did produce more sries ECONOMIC!
The only (positive or ngatif as you gots!) Is the dgradation varnish. But the wood is superb. A beautiful baby!
There are other time on eBay by sellers amricains, around 400. IF you see, click and buy l! run!
