(This content has been automatically translated from French)
Made in Japan, mine in 1979. It is no longer produced for many years.
Ash body with curved maple table.
Pickups branded original unknown humbuckers and split into single coils. Not bad but I've replaced with Seymour Duncan (Jazz / JB) and it's classy.
Original easel (heavy) Washburn.
2 volume control with split pickups + 2 tones.
An inverter poorly placed microphone that hangs constantly playing (big flaw for the stage).
Maple neck through 5 bands / palissandre.Sillet metal, ebony fingerboard, 22 frets. By year, abalone dots or metal.

UTILIZATION

Neck thin and narrow, a little too much for my taste. Not as comfortable as a strat recently.

UTILIZATION

Neck thin and narrow, a little too much for my taste. Not as comfortable as a strat recently.

Access to acute excellent (20th fret).
Well balanced, ergonomic enough but heavy as a dead donkey (or a Lespaul).

Its excellent

SOUNDS

Very versatile, yet more than a strat.
I play with tube amps and a rack-Boss GT8
It will sound kind of dry telecaster (but only type it does not match the TV) than the Gibson SG to be mistaken and P-90 on the neck pickup split.
The range of sounds is large and very good quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since its release: 1979 or 30 (thirty) years.
She is beautiful and very good quality. John Fogerty played on this model.
I chose it compared to other brands (Ibanez, etc. ...).
The price / quality ratio is one of the best in the world. But although we do not replace it all at a good strat fact, a Lespaul or TV. But SG, probably (if you have a sore back, take the SG still ...).
