Guitar factory in France, the workshop in Toulouse in 1995. The body is basswood I think, be without trssr. Mine has a glossy black finish of the most beautiful effect, except when there are my fingerprints! The patent has held more than 10 years, and I think he still held a small DCEN! 5 position switch, one tone and one volume.
Micros of origin: a DiMarzio Tone Zone bridge position, one single and one humbucker Pickups Sky / Kent Armstrong. I replaced the Di Marzio by EMG 89 active splittable via a push-pull acting Tone is the day and night. In the future, I will change the EMG 89 with a EMG 81 and will set the 89 instead of the humbucker in the neck position. Microphones Sky starved potato and body, must change with microphones worthy of the name. The handle is screwed in Saddle nickel, a highway known as Lag produce, and 24 cases are fully accessible. Trs profile is enjoyable, quite thin, as opposed to a Les Paul in the genre! The key is rosewood, it is soft and rather fat. It is not worth the bne, but it&#39;s fine.
The vibrato dvelopp licensed Floyd Rose possde a amnagement to not cut the ball of string. Prcis but it is a bit steep: a Floyd Rose vritable States is even more effective when, but it&#39;s fine for this type of instrument, away from the trs upscale in Lag.

UTILIZATION

The handle is excellent even if you feel it might be even better with a more polished smooth. 24 cases fully accessible thanks a heel trs profile. No problem the above. The frets are perfectly in place, the intonations are fair and Dfine, the pitch of each string is properly calibrated. Ergonomics is one of the highlights: you can play for hours sitting or standing thanks to a perfectly good places Chamfer: no fatigue or pain in the wrists, arms or pelvis. The weight is in the standard, and with good SETTING THE strap, you no longer feel the guitar after a while. It is one with the user.
Trs sounds are versatile, but the original pickups leave DSIR. With an EMG 89, the guitar speaks much better: the treble and bass are hitting snore. Guitar empty possde a trs good sound that could be exploited with the right pickups. The sustain is good without being excellent.
Obviously, use with an amp worthy of the name. Try to have my guitar on a Mesa Boogie Mark IV, I can tell you that has transcended! The few obscure points disappear and you redcouvrez condition of your guitar plugged into the good stuff.
Only condition your happiness: change the pickups and pay you a good amp! Once done your Rockline Light Heavy sound!

SOUNDS

Playing mainly Metal (Death Metal and more, as one who che), I m&#39;clate trs good on this guitar (my Premire for that matter) remains my main weapon with a Jackson Kelly Pro . As a soloist and with strong technical trends handjob the dizzying, this guitar is a good choice trs, even if I start reaching the limits of the BTE for the sound and precision attack. Again, the choice of microphone and amplifier at the end of the string will have the killer. A guitar will sound crappy crap even on a good amp, this is not the case for this lag, we are reassured!
For my part, I use excessive EMG 89 (equivalent of EMG 85 When this return is not Splitt), the sound is ultra powerful, sharp and with good slam rglages amp, low you pull out the guts. However, it lacks the precision, the sound slightly drooling whatever rglage.



OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 years dj: I took my electric guitar Premire weapons with the Light and frankly Rockline, 4990 francs for the era, I have no regrets so I &#39; I was able to grow and m&#39;clater with this guitar, which is still the case today. I do not barter this Lag against another in the same price range, never! With the limited means available to me by buying it (I put all my money in the models), I do it again the same choice with his eyes closed while changing any of the microphones of the same &#39;between ...
Currently j&#39;conomise to offer me his big sister, namely a MODEL Lag Arkane Absolute Custom that I will cry with a Mesa Boogie Rectifier good!

UPDATE July 22, 2009:
The guitar does profondment "reworks": EMG 81 in the bridge position, EMG 89 pass in the neck position, micro central shunt with artificial MODEL (S EMG design but with nothing in it!) change the buttons (like those black plastic Fender are really shit) for MODELS mtalliques chromium (with that of Tone in push / pull power to the splitter 89), revisits electronic, direavec switch is 3 position instead of the 5 positions dsormais unnecessary polishing of frtes lightweight and finally, the must: the replacement of the vibrato for a Lag licensed Floyd Rose Original vritable . Rsultat: we get a box of course worthy of a high-end of any brand of guitar respectable. Unlike what is described a little higher, I&#39;m crying Dornava with a Peavey 6505 +, and that "Nirvanesque!"

Basically, blackheads onrattrape of this guitar (pickups & hardware) to give the top.
For info: 2 EMG pickups (81 + 89) bought used but almost nine = 150 euros, a Floyd Rose Original = 215 euros, two chrome buttons + a robust slecteur = 20 euros 6 mcaniques of quality = 75 euros, a good luthier nice for total = 150 euros.
Total customization = about 610 euros. You can find any Lag Rockline Used 400 euros today, and with it all, you have a scratching Made In France for 1000 euros which customizes well worth an ESP MII, a Jackson Soloist Ibanez or other JS. I also bought some time ago a Lag Rockline Standard (470 euros, nine state!) I have the same customs of Manir (except the vibrato Schaller and original buttons ) with an EMG Kit SL20 Steve Lukather (2x EMG 85 + EMG SL custom). Needless to say that the train that I collect ...
