«  A great guitar ... almost. »

Characteristics have already been said

I had the first version, with EMG 81 and 85 non splitable.

Excellent guitar, but kept only 3 weeks because it has not convinced me in the end: continue reading ...

UTILIZATION

This really is a quality instrument.
A great violin, a properly calibrated weight, excellent balance, a perfect finish ...
In short we feel that we have in our hands a reliable instrument and "longlife" after 5 seconds of the game not even connected.

The sustain is remarkable

Being an addict Gibson in terms of handle (knacki my balls and my big palms like tuning forks and short sleeves a little overweight), the handle (pitch fender) is a treat because it is not a caricature like Ibanez for example. .. He keeps such a small head side thickness, ideal for riffer comfortably, which seems to refine the acute ... Short form handle which, in addition to its comfort, it gives a true versatility in terms of game

Access to acute is perfect ... This is a guy who plays Gibby SG who said ...

The hardware is super strong, reliable etc ... We are really confident, which at this price is still rare!

SOUNDS

It is true that not buy this type of instrument to funk, country or back in the text and notes Robert Johnsonn ...

With electronics it is clear that this tool is more than comfortable in genres bleeding ... And that for copper, zinc, aluminum, stainless steel and even titanium is the ideal shovel whatever metal you play. In terms of range, it is well above an LTD, and a bit below an ESP ...

After I have still not caught, or rather I was very frustrated very quickly by both EMG ... I soon felt that they completely have stifled the instrument: it has such a quality violin (which means not connected: sustain, harmonics, brightness, and heat - mid made by the construction mahogany neck + stuck ...) that the microphones are unable to highlight ... Brief EMG EMG make us, giving the feeling that they scoff at the guitar in which they are placed ...

In short it is objectively good, even very good, but I find this terrible frustration, non-development of the electronic violin by choice.

OVERALL OPINION

As said by introducing an excellent instrument, I bought more at very low prices (and sold more expensive ...), but finally made a meteoric passage into my set.

A versatile little guitar, especially a small inconsistency in my opinion between violin and electronics.

on the other hand (it will be another opinion soon), regretting its comfort and violin character, but I plunged for a blackjack ATX ... and then, finally REVELATION: we really hear the guitar and not only micro ... And it confirms that the C-1 are excellent shovels!
