Best value: Excellent
Custom guitar, "hand made in Issy les Moulineaux, France" the era o James still lived there. RALIS body pressed into mtal + welding arc. The assembly is then dipped in a bath, sandwiched between two skins aligator ... Is your exact printing, rust-colored skin on the body of the guitar. Do "remains qu'quot; stop rust, and wax / buffer all. Effect rust" y "as guaranteed!
Channel 22 frets koa (wood extremely stable) very easy and fast play. SETTING THE matre.
The pickups are Seymour Duncan type "Antiques". SETTING THE The volume offers a select phase / out of phase for micro magntiques. I also add a set of piezo Fishman pickups with a volume SETTING THE spar. Output Stereo or mono mix.
James favors appearance "rtro / authentic", I modified the guitar to have self-locking Schaller mcaniques more prcises, stable and reliable than mcaniques home. Over time, some adjustments are ncessaires.

UTILIZATION

What fun! First is a custom guitar, but even without that, it soon appropriates trs instrument ... Not heavy (lighter than a Start and Les Paul a lot less), the guitar is comfortable trs, even if you play long standing. Access in acute is OK, as a telecaster with over-thick CHARACTERISTICS of Fender. The handle is prcis (although adjustable sr), and especially trs, trs stable in all conditions. This gives a good sound easily trs (trs Though this concept is subjective) because of the possibilities offered by micros, slecteur and rglages.

SOUNDS

SOUND ... ! Thank you the rsonnance of the box, thank you for the excellent Seymour Duncan, thank you for the hint of real bass and crystal added by Fishman pickups. The sound ranges from folk metal with every punch, crunch, sweetness desired. Excellent sustain.

OVERALL OPINION

Made in 1999, plays almost every day since. This instrument is a joy, one pice, not fragile, easy to play. I have several guitars and it is this that I prfre, by far. Over time, I gave him small Discoveries "default", due a handmade, or the choice of matrial (guitar feels mtal, if so, it's true). These are default in any source of problem or in the notes injustesse cheeks. On the contrary, one tames the instrument over time. Excellent price quality ratio, the price of this guitar, I do not see myself going to "Leo", ask my SPECIFICATIONS guitar with his signature and a note written on the plate, and return 6 APRS rcuprer months for my "bbquot;. With James, it's possible. It is the same with many luthiers in France ... Do not hesitate through the door of a luthier, spend time sharing his passion and for a price close to a beautiful trs guitar SERIES made the machine, you can have a custom guitar, your specs, made la mano and perfectly adjusts.
