I will not annoy me, copy and paste the lag site ^^

- Channel screwed Maple, fixed by 4 mtalliques inserts
- Guide body-neck reinforcement Rosewood, LAG exclusive system
- Key in Ebne
- 24 Jumbo frets
- Mcaniques high precision LAG
- Body Solid Mahogany
- Table Maple Boucl (Quilt Maple)
- Pickups 2 double + 1 single coil EMG (HZ-H4A-neck, HZ-S3-mid, HZ-FH3A-bridge)
- Floyd Rose tremolo type
- 1 volume and 1 Tone with Push-Pull for "splitter" simple doubles
- 1 slecteur microphones 5 circular ergonomic positions
- Black finish hardware
- High gloss finish

for this price, the features are really good, is not to say, I have only a slight BMOL: I can not lower the floyd more than the original tuning because the holes are not deep enough (it is already pretty low anyway, but hey, I quibble ^^)

going to a new lil, really I can not find her faults, except that it is Asian! (No, I'm not racist! This is not what I meant !!) ^^

USE

The head of the machine (I have to talk to !!) is really beautiful, it's one of the best guitar head I have ever seen !! if so !! Unfortunately, the image on audiofanzine do not realize ...
the handle is super comfortable, fairly late in his extremity
the access to the treble is very easy
the guitar is rather mild, which surprised me, I thought before the mahogany was a dense wood, it is very comfortable (compared to bc rich leaning of the head and shoulders because of dmontent weight ^^)

SONORITS

The sonorities ... haaa the sonorities !!!
First it sounds pretty well vacuum
then I must say that this is one of the most versatile guitars I've ever seen !!!
This guitar is not A guitar !!! That's TWO guitars ONE !!!!!! : P
Indeed, double, microphones deliver a fat sound, excellent for hot jazz, blues (sleeve) and metal (bridge), once the push pull pulls it becomes a Stratocaster style guitar, with crystal clear sound, slamming, funky !!!
I testee in middle position with the selector microphones in splits with an acoustic simulator (Korg AX1500G) and I was literally bluff by the sound delivered !! I then plug a yamaha and bc for even if it was not the effect ... bah !! it's Lag! : D

on the other hand I admit it hard to understand why Lag has EMG HZ-4 handle and HZ-3 in the bridge ... it's like putting an EMG 81 (splittable) handle and 89 easel ... weird ..
ca finally have mainly increase the versatility of the guitar, the limit, I may be a gift microphones .. but the guitar remains very comfortable in the supersaturated sounds!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 3 weeks or 4 heuuuu
I prefer this guitar is versatility, which I regret is the placement of microphones (with a little elbow grease everything works out ^^)
I tried the BC Rich (average except in large saturations and again ... it's mostly guitars of "scene"), Ibanez (I remember the name but it was in the same price range) and frankly Lag AF200 sprayed them all !!! The seller even told me that this guitar was a better sound than some of his Ibanez 1000 !!!

the limit I see some guitars able to compete:
-The SD Whales (in the same range, with Seymour Duncan pickups, a through handle and a push-pull)
-the LTD model 400 (more dear, but less versatile with active EMG, excellent violin and a handle approaching driver handle)
-The Jackson DKMG (concurrent model of LTD 400, but EMG passive and not super versatile)

it is among the best guitars of its price range, I think it deserves its widely 9 (I do not put 10 because perfection does not exist: D)
With hindsight, it is on a wait even for 5 months I would do the choice ^^ (well I exaggerated a bit anyway: P)

PS: yes, I almost forgot, deliveries of long delays are super !!! I had command late December and I received in early May .. lol a little over 5 months late, now I have it and I will not quit !!! ^^

good luck if you are looking for in one: D
PS: I'm sorry, but I do not have a digital camera, so I can not show you a picture of the guitar !! (So ​​do not send me emails for ca ^^)
