- Flying V from Core. In any event, at ca epiphone is from China or corea affordable night it comes from USA, and it's a bit more! ^ ^
- 22frets handle, fixed bridge, black color paint
- 2micros selectioneur humbuckers with 3 positions ((bridge pickup, neck + bridge, neck) arranged a cot in pots, not as convenient to access on an LP, but even when it's going.
- 3 pots: 2 volumes, and one of tonalitbr /> - My neck and body of the guitar are one: yes, the handle is not screwed. Personally, I think of the violin making relatively good, although lgre (like SG).

Brief form is what I wanted to have, and at the same time no vibrato, for once, it feels good. It allowed me to test me other ways of tuning, as most in need of any reacorder ^ ^

In any event, a flying V for a flying s'achte in hand, otherwise, buy as many other models.

UTILIZATION

Channel a bit big for my taste the first time. J'tais used to the sleeves of my Start and my Ibanez. Not super enjoyable to manchers raids, even if I am not an expert for that. on the other hand for rhythmic, it's going ... The lead hand comes with time.
In terms of access to acute aps is a problem ... even when Flying V! The handle is a bit much to treble levels, but as I said above it comes with time.
it is far from being practical to play sitting down, but at the same time we bought a flying V not to play against in this manire.La head is a bit heavy, the blow when you loose the guirate it stings the nose. As long as the guard in hand no problem, but ... The downside is, because it is not practical to settle the pedals, take the microphone, partition or text on the desk, a beer or a cigarette between two pieces, etc ...

The sound when it was relatively even when full of mediums. The bridge pickup is pretty slammed, but lacks EHJV in serious when the neck pickup, it is relatively fat and quite heavy, and with good fat distortion is a pleasure for the riff, and agreements size for sound guibsons (Lenny Kravitz, Black Sabbath, ...). But I think change can be els microphones in his history of winning with.

SOUNDS

I think it's adconseiller for those who want to make the handjob technique, but the AC is just personal opinion. Although with the fingers of Zakk Wylde, sound fat enough it may well prter.
I use it currently on a banti 112, a relatively neutral amp and lifeless, but until the sound suits me well reboost a little on the bass and midrange equalizer.
For vintage rock, fat, style Black Sabbath, Led Zep, zztop, etc ... it's perfect. ^ ^
For stoner-rock heavy enough, or droped in C #, the sound is also nice.

OVERALL OPINION

Dlaiss for nearly six months after the purchase I redcouvert from 6 months to a new project. I had too quickly in the catalog vintage rock, but by changing the tuning (the simplicity of simple bridges), I begin to love it, find my bearings, and to play droped or C #, it allows stand out from my other guitars.

I think just change the pickups (the Gibsons, PRS or Seymour, j'hsite) may have a history of more gain, and can be done again a few welds the indoor of the can (the slectionneur whims of a few positions in recent weeks), but for nearly 450, plus some investment, I think it's worth it. Anyway, I think I probably would do what the choices ...
