In which country was it made? (United States, Japan, Mexico, France ...)

States, of course, Made In Nashville

How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?

2 microphones Hambucker Gibson 57 classic rather than the original. The sound is more powerful and is closer to the type of AC / DC I love.

UTILIZATION

The handle is it fun?

The round handle of Gibson is not for everyone. I had a stratovolcano was younger, which is more accessible to the handle, but I liked least in the end. I love this mahogany neck with a varnish that slips like the wind.

Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?

The cutting of the guitar makes the game accessible to treble.

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
This guitar does not sting the nose, it is balanced. The weight is correct and do not hurt the shoulder or the back during a show.

Do you get a good sound easy? ...

In overdrive, actually. On the bridge pickup is very easy to get a good big sound of the 70s (especially with a Marshall DSL100).

As against the clean sound is very hard to work, it will tend to "crunch" very easily and it is not easy to find the "sweet"

SOUNDS

They are suitable to your style of music?

Being a fan of hard rock, and part of a group of French rock and metal, this guitar so versatile Demeur, but it should not be the only one in the list of matoss. Personally, I completed a Epiphone Union Jack Supernova (ES355 form), and this allows me to work my sweetest melody in favor of a more energetic of the SG

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Marshall DSL 100 + Cab. But my guilty pleasure is still the Marshall DSL401, a 40W combo much more accurate in terms of sound. More easily get something decent.
I also spend a multi effects BOSS ME-70 effects for fun, without too much distortion or overdrive touching for me that are just as bad. The overdrive the tube amp can really use this guitar.


What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

I love hard rock sound which brings into overdrive. I do not sound too heavy of a distortion in the neck pickup, too rough for me.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?

Over 6 years now, and never get tired.

What is so special that you like most and least?

Its unique manufacturing that continues over time. The smell of varnish and mahogany which gives a soul to the guitar. What can we blame him ..

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

A favorite of youth, bought his eyes closed.

How would you rate the quality / price?

At the time unacceptable, I have the gibson most expensive in the history

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Of course!
