On paper, it's really not bad, it was worth the money rappport competition. But ...
... Warning: AM1000 models are fabriqusdsormais in China, lag is not really clear on this subject trs.

The quality suffers significantly:

* Aurola on the varnish
* Trace of glue on the body
* The worker has returned several times to penetrate the body to insert the screws of the floyd! Anything on a guitar over 1000! It's ugly, it's really low-end.
* Inserts the screws of the support of vibrato are not even human, you can imagine ...
* The switch was completely unscrewed and twisted reception of this guitar.
* The matte black glaze, trs trs beautiful but fragile, begins dj s'emmieter aye!
Well, we will test even when ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is not as pleasant an ibanez wizard from home, do not kid ourselves. It is rather large, thick and flat. Moreover, Varnish is satin and access to acute is remarkable. Ebony gives a touch trs cold this intrument.
The mahogany used for the body is incredibly lightweight, it amme tendency to pitch down. the head of the instrument is also rather successful aesthetically.

It is seriously gate when I try to play:
This is scratching RULES matter how the action is more than 6mm the 12th fret!
Courage, remove all the strings, they rule the action on the floyd (the small pleasures of floyd;)).
Unfortunately, I realize that with the action RULES 2mm you can not screw the cover behind is unsightly but not so bad in itself ...
I'm starting to understand now why the action was as high RULES: leveling the frets has not performed t is a scandal! a shame on a guitar over 1000! Act on the truss rod does not change, the 15th fret is really above the others. So the 10th is the 14th case in the same note appears inevitable ...

Sometimes the best:
Of the first tests of the tremolo, the inserts of the floyd were literally driven into the wood of the body!
Uh ... Lag you out of your mahogany o? a factory crates?

I am really disgusted by this model.

SOUNDS

With the action and strings Elixir 6mm original guitar can only 'sound' powerful vide ...

The pickups are Dimarzio plutt reputation and configuration employe promised a fairly broad palette of sounds.

But to tell you the truth, I never want to hear sonnorits issued by the scratching the ground breaking ...

OVERALL OPINION

I kept this guitar just enough time to arrange with the carrier to return it directly to the supplier. It is a stew infme, far from the MODELS 'made in bdarieux' dj I had the opportunity to test this MODEL is really a shame for Lag!

Lag is an orientation 'Rock Chic' trying to ride the wave of fashion designers franais / Lutherie Franaise exception. They are made in China yet ...

I was really feeling toc / tape the eye with this instance, nothing to do with the degree of finish and the violin a Vigier Excalibur example.
This impression was confirmed, everything is for show: the acastillage 'gray metal' choice of wood species and noble matrial (Opal). It's been good, but a shame that no matter how this is assembled ...
