Unlike its big sisters there is no the same work at the level of polish and comes in nice gigbag, electronics and violin are the same.
The red color faded painted with matt and absolutely sublime and actually gives the short side 1967.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a super nice, much more than his big sisters that I had the opportunity to test.
It's a flying thus access to acute, no problems.
Touch is very nice but it will take a small adjustment of the bridge tune o matic to lower the action of the strings the factory setting is too high.
Now talk about her because that's where it differs from its big sisters, the sound is huge for just one branch on a good amp.
The micro acute perfectly meets all the harmonics and stress when the microphone in his grave MAMA MIA clear.
I mainly play metal and this model has a lot more bite than its older sisters more expensive.

SOUNDS

This guitar is essentially rocker but it is suitable for lovers of very heavy metal and good rhythmic big greasy.
The handle is a highway for a model gibson course (not a vigier either) so for ultra-fast solos you still have some time to adapt.

OVERALL OPINION

Guitar purchased in the United States for the sum of $ 600 a few months ago and when I see the price in France (1300euros) I think that it is cheaper to go out there one week and buy a scratch than to the buy here in France because they abuse serious is the flight limits!
I tried other models Flying V that did not convince me in terms of its (too aggressive).
I also have a Black Beauty 59 Custom Shop, but the flying ... oh I crack.
I do it again this choice without any problem because the value price is monstrous but of course I'll buy it in the United States as I said before.
