Reprint of an original model of the 60s The apparent wood grain under the sunburst is superb.

UTILIZATION

The handle is it enjoyable?
The highlight of this guitar. Super comfortable in your hand. It goes without the acute problem. We must play for hours without getting tired hand.
No imbalance despite a long head. Mechanical easy to reach (on top). It is large enough. Proper weight.

SOUNDS

The "fat Gibson" and "clarity Fenderienne" met in a guitar that is possible? Yes (it's not a sampler either) but the spirit of the two is there. Well raucous P90, will develop their full with a good overdrive and clear with the 3 pickups and a 5-way switch found sounds and familiar combinations.
Why Gibson complicated life with the combination of circuits? It changes the sound a bit but it does not add much. The phase inversion, it is very useful to bring the dynamic has a good rhythm.

OVERALL OPINION

I have long tried with a friend. One of the most interesting Gibson reissues.
A great look, a great range of sound, just sounds a bit more gadget. A model has discovered, in my opinion and that unusual.
With more vibrato to accentuate the vintage spirit, it was flawless.
