Well, for features, says it all. So ...

UTILIZATION

So for those who spend a Les Paul type guitar our famous Blackie, you will need a little time to adapt with respect to the handle. But in any fawn, changing instruments, it's like a new car, we are skeptical at beginners, it is not comfortable, then APRS, it swears by it. Okay, we take the examples we can. For the record, Sir Clapton's Fender has not adopted immediately, has not t love at first sight, he let himself gradually sduire (he parat ). Brief.
The handle, APRS adaptation, this is really the best. It slides perfectly, all the strings / cases are available easily, it is a wonder.

Minor complaints which prevent perfection:

the frtes. I have this guitar for two years, and frtes at the 12th fret are dj uses! Yes yes! It's light but noticeable.

The plastic plate warp. For the price, it's not top. Finally the plastic never does a noble matriau ...

Original plastic protection (film) apos precisely on this plate is difficult to remove trs. Disassemble to remove the knobs, it's not terrible. Gnralement we do not disassemble the tires of his car before THE FIRST use!

The mtal rust!! The designers could have split stainless steel screws. Finally made vintage as a.

And I think that's all. Apart from these "dtails" was an instrument generally well done, and remarkable ease in use. So finish using 10 6

SOUNDS

! Wow! It is terrible! Jazz, blues, rock, pop, funk or reggae gospel gothic heavy trash mtal, everything is affordable. The sound is exceptional versatility while maintaining a clean personality instrument. This is normal, Clapton has played all styles (except the last one ... well I do not think so. It would drle). Sound point of view, it has no limit, it is stunning!
And we reach perfection. Nothing wrong. No knob is superfluous, they REALLY make something more or Dumoine of diffrent, and to switch between a clear, crystalline sound kind Cream. The best example, you buy four CDs (or DVD) to report on: The cream of 2006
70 years of John Mayall (the color is different, but otherwise it's the same thing)
Legends Montreux 1997 (same)
Hide Park 1995
This is the best illustration of the capabilities of this instrument ... perfect.

Sound quality 10 ++++++++++++

OVERALL OPINION

It is to the music, certainly, but also for the Aesthetics of the instrument. And all for a fairly large budget. We can therefore expect that our Blackie, in addition to these performances sound divine, let's not afraid of anything, it is remarkably well finished, which, in terms of price, is not the case.
So value for money - sound: 10/10, perfection is priceless
value for money - finish: 6 / 10. (Although suprieure, I think the finish of another brand (G. ... N), which offers large translucent plastic knobs ugly for an exorbitant price).

So before buying your Blackie, ask yourself this question:
I was looking for a sound, Aesthetics, or both? Personally my rponse is still in Note 10/10
