UTILIZATION

The handle is it enjoyable?
O yes very nice but what surprised me the first time was that I felt to find the handle of the Gibson Flying V ...

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
As: well it is a flying sit so it is a pretty special position. For me, it's cool.
The guitar is relatively light.

Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Access quiet without problem treble.

Gets it easy to sound good?
Yes, I can easily have a very sound on my Blackstar.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you been using?
4 months

What is so special that you like most and least?
+: The sound, the shape, the handle, which changes the appearance of the other models (flames), the case.
-: Defects finish

Did you try many other models before buying it?
Yes, a Gibson flying v black have a very good sound but the finish was so so, the key also had faults, scratched too easily ... and a Hamer Vector XT mahogany has a very good finish and a good but his remains below the Dean.

I think the report is good to see good. I'm not very expert in this field trial.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
