Carefully following the shortage of Rosewood / Ebony Gibson in the new model since 2010 (some not all) are to 2012 with keys flamed maple, rosewood or nord-américain/indien Granadillo, Gibson plays on the ambiguity of the multitude of keys thus forcing it confuses catalog, the keys are Ebene arrested, those like me looking model Ebene is either used or in stores that have not yet passed their stock, check out the serial number The year 2010 is still trouble for the history of fraud in 2009 notes

UTILIZATION

I think the neck hangs a little problem had varnish and was always this little problem with the nut and the detuning of the G string as on most Gibson

SOUNDS

Great for modern rock to jazz, blues ... should not even think about it, the starting point is not bad even if I thought it lacked sharpness and dynamic after an upgrade in Duncan (SH1 & SH5) right there it becomes much more serious, I use that on plans to Metallica, Megadeth, Sixx: AM, Guns'n'Roses (Chinesse period) ... basically, it is reserved only for sets that have debit, coupled with a Mesa, the grain is warmer and thicker than the Ibanez Basswood compared to my Steve Vai, for heavy riff that is pure spot hearts, to see with Explorer after EMG ...

OVERALL OPINION

is changing the pickups I could see the guts of the beast is already electronic badly made (too much cable, welding average ...), the bridge is of poor quality and also fixing, painting is grossly limit was made difficult to read the serial number, it also tends to crack in the same place for some time with the handle, nail grip fingers ...
it is a scratch prestige, a beast of legend with mouth ... but not worth more than € 900, some shop on the Pigalle sell more expensive (€ 1200) because it is the model key Ebene, at this price this is a scam go your way and take your evil patiently on the second hand market
mine if the date of 2009 and no regrets
