UTILIZATION

Already little story ... I wanted this guitar for a very very long time (I fell in love with the light on Thomann but never in stock) and I could finally get their hands on one of them. ..
Big downside, I found the handle just horrible, I am beautiful cramps when I play
Access to acute is really average, worse than the Custom 77 Lp-like.
The sound is not bad but lacks a bit of Roar.
Being in love with the guitar I decided to sand the handle to enjoy it and not get frustrated + I added a kit emg an unused guitar ...
BAH AND FINALLY! She tears ...

SOUNDS

As I said earlier, the microphones were not bad but I thought it lacked character so I've fired.
The guitar sounds good in emg, but the basswood body is too much in acute and it breaks a little ears without EQ worthy of the name.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this shovel for 1 year and a half I believe and yet it holds (I did fell 2 times, changed the mechanical 1 time)
She has a mouth that is undeniable, it is smaller than a les paul and I personally find most beautiful.
With experience not younger I had money in quantity and I spent buying full of guitars in the 400 € the skyscraper without thinking and I regretted. So no I do not have that choice rather I orienterais to a high end guitar!

I'll characteristics, everything said above, I note the absence of vibrato

UTILIZATION

I also spend, I rather speak in terms of sound

SOUNDS

This is where I will dwell, people for whom this is the 1st guitar (or played on a crappy guitar was 150th) will not stop the praise about this instrument. but this versatile mics prevents this guitar to have its own character, I play a hybrid lamp / trans and a big bandit 112, I use very little neck pickup, but the sound obtained with the remains hot enough and suitable. but I find the bridge pickup with no personality whatsoever with a simple distortion or with the integrality of my pedalboard. either single or double, it prevents to obtain beautiful harmonics in the treble and too sharp for my taste. so versatile because it allows you to approach many sound decent, but sorely lacking caractère.Rien to do with a strat as previous reviews say. perfect for beginners or guitar to the rhythm, but amateur solo go your way.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years, for its price, I was surprised neck pickup but the bridge pickup when I was even disappointed. but I think this guitar keeps a quality / price ratio suitable. with experience, I will not repeat that choice but I rather orienterai to typed sounds more like a classic player 50's

This is a guitar that is designed and built with the guitarist in mind who doesn't want to pay the more expensive prices to get a Gibson Les Paul. They are target market is someone who wants a nice dense thick robust tone instrument and doesn't want to spend a lot of money for it. This guitar company is relatively unknown to many people because I think companies like Fender and Gibson dominate the world with guitar and exposure, but this is certainly a decent company that provides pretty budget friendly instruments to consumer.

SOUNDS


If you have played a Gibson Les Paul guitar then you will be right in line with the tone of this instrument. This is an instrument that can you give you a very familiar deep warm tone that you would get off a Gibson Les Paul guitar. So these are the guitars that are going to go really well with British sounding amplifier such as a Marshall or an Orange amplifier. The union between this British voiced amps with these mahogany based Les Paul designed shaped guitars go really well together. This is a guitar that doesn't look that great in fact it kind of looks dorky with the headstock but overall it's a decent entry for the money. This guitar features basswood for the body which is sort of similar to the mahogany but not quite his thick and warm sounding. However it is going to be warmer than say alder or ash body.

OVERALL OPINION


You can find use for for a few hundred dollars on the new markets. You can't find them easily in the used market because they're just not as popular as Epiphones, Gibsons, Ibanez, Fender guitars. These are decent budget friendly guitars that sound decent for the money.
