Manufacturing Core, even if the imitation Les Paul amliorations have been done on the body (chamfers).

I retouch a lot for the electronic purchase, the knobs grsillaient many (seemingly unbearable problem and the current AES). I used to offer a beautiful 59 in Seymour neck pickup, a split micro, three knobs and a brand new complete rewiring (small coren like to ground loops, the source of many parasites .. .)

7 / 10 for the electronic document as much of the good ca knobs ...

UTILIZATION

Level ergonomics, it's still a Les Paul but it is positioned between a Gibson and ESP EC, less enjoyable than the ESP, but always a little more than the Gibson.
Question weight is kik-kif with Gibson (prvoir good belt ...)

The Grover mcaniques are frankly much agreement (more than I had imagined.

The knobs (500K) do not offer a progressive variation of volume (0 5 no and suddenly APRS). A change to the 250K to the violoning so ...

SOUNDS

Oh the sound! Many say that Yamaha guitars do not have "personnalitquot; is partly true here.

The sound of the original neck pickup is certainly a little flat, it is not bad but it is happening everywhere trs. Replace it with the Seymour has given the 59 AES Gibsonian a ct that she had not before.
For cons, the former as the new neck pickup sounds great in clear overdrive and lightweight (jazz - rock / her round, fat but trs flt and singing), now in heavy overdrive and distortion c ' is immediately draft, but expect a little bit right?

The JB (bridge) is for me the microphone I use most, against him by a lot of personality and for once we feel we have a position on this guitar incisive, sharp crunch wholesale and r works great strength of the attack.

Forget the big distortion when even the JB trs is loaded and remains confined mdiums blues / rock / hard rock.

I never use the position intermdiaire double (its too nasal). As against the split single microphone, this position really sounds like a Telecaster was fun to play Sweet Home Alabama trs fast!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been four months that I have (bought in occasion of Paris) and many j'hsitais with ESP.

Newfoundland and in the price range of 500-600 euros, I think it is only on the market because a lot of Les Paul copies in this range are oriented big sound (eg EMG ESP +).. If one turns on his blues / rock in these prices, there is the ESP EC400 with Seymour duncan that can compete but no one sells it in stores (vendors n'coulent that EMG ESP ...)

So in this résumé for the price AES runit a super good violin, an electronic factory convincing (as we do not venture into the extreme mtal) even if it aging too quickly (knobs change) and a sound that will delight fans of blues (on a lamp pramp lgre satueation -> yum!), large rock or jazz.

As owner of a Yamaha dj (stratum pacifica high end), I know their ages violin trs well so perhaps I will keep a long time!
