warhol « At least it says Gibson on the head »
Published on 01/20/13 at 07:03
Value For Money :
Excellent
Made in the USA (but certainly by Chinese workers)
Tune-O-Matic and tailpiece Stop Bar-classic
24 frets
2 humbuckers 490 (T & R), 2 volumes, 2 tones, 1 3-position selector
UTILIZATION
'50 Rounded neck (not a '60 slim tapper announced as the site vpc!)
Guitar slightly unbalanced (the head tends to bite down)
Access without any worries to the 22nd box and there are two more
Microphones (consisting of two coils without screw) have a plastic cover which makes them sound like "open-coil", that is to say, more aggressive.
SOUNDS
The sound is decidedly rock and dry (as opposed to his "fat" you expect from a Gibson).
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it 2 months and it will never be my main guitar: neck too thick lifts that do not agree, and the finish ... it is nonexistent "rubbed" meaning "rubbed" the white (satin) is neither more nor less than the stain passed without forgetting Economic some corners!
And this is the part visible in the cache, potentiometers (Gibson stamped anyway) are soldered to a printed circuit on which are located the connectors (as EMG) that receive different connections (microphones, selector jack ).
I removed the micro grave to see how it was made (see "Use") and the biggest surprise was there:
- The pin junction sleeve body is not adjusted or trimmed!
- Mahogany used is very clear, it looks like korina!
Positive (there anyway): the handle 24 cases, the very particular sound and the logo Gibson (ill-posed)
€ 599 for a Gibson is value for money any more, but if I had seen her in real life before ordering, I certainly would not have taken this model.
