It's a Gibson, so it is manufactured in the United States, finally, it is not built, I bought 28 October 1996.
Telecaster bridge type (yes I know it's weird).
One volume, one tone (it contains a push-pull).
Three microphone, two single side by side, but it's a double inclined.
A simple microphone in the middle.
A kind of P90 neck pickup.
Channel fine enough, Gibson type.
5-way switch 10 then multiplied by 2 positions.

UTILIZATION

Everything is nice, of course you get a good sound, I use very few off-stage sounds, it's a shame, they are obtained with the push-pull.
Very good ergonomics, guitar quite nervous at times, even aggressive, but it stands.
Access to treble is great, 22 frets.

SOUNDS

I love all the sounds above that produced by the species of P90 (position medium without push-pull).
The microphone in the middle is simply fantastic, the middle position with push-pull.
All positions off-stage are reminiscent of the stratocaster but with less character, no doubt.
Many possibilities.
I currently play on a Line6 Spider 112.
I play mostly blues, why it is excellent, jazz, also thanks to the excellent P90.
A little rock, sometimes it almost simulates an acoustic guitar without putting a single effect.

OVERALL OPINION

The price / quality ratio is exceptional, I find it better than a Les Paul, it has both the quality of a SG and guitars that do not exist.
It ages well, I pampered my sweat was modeled, it is beautiful, the golden hardware turns a little, it adds charm, she is 11 years.
This is a great love story.
I tried the Les Paul, the SG, the tele, strata, of course I love all these guitars, but what do you, she is my wife.
With the experience now I would choose an electric guitar further because it is too good, it draws the eye. Though not, it's darling.
