In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...) How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration and what type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...) what are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch. ..) and what type of race? *

See below ...

It is true that having a single portard tone may be a minus, but it's not very serious.

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice? Access to acute (last string) Is it easy? Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)? Gets it easy to sound good? * ...

Nothing really special to note: on this guitar is a UFO, so we will not quibble over this or that thing that is "different" from one stratum or LP!

For cons, I was very surprised by the weight is very light.

And above all: CA TO THE MOUTH!

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music, with what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play? What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",.... ) What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? *

Ah here! Here I took a big slap! I tried it in a store on a Fender Twin Reverb with my pedals (Boss OD-1 and DS-1).

Primo is a Gibson: Well you know what forget the LP and SG. It has NOTHING to do.
Secondly, I play the power-pop-rock and is really ideal for half of the compounds that we play (in fact, everything I play bridge pickup on my guitar now).

You should know that I expected a guitar typed Metal Bourrinage, big sound etc.. Well no! It is not the most beautiful clean sound, but it provides tremendous crunch and distortion, what potatoes!

The bridge pickup sending a grain tight, compact, but very warm. The notes sound clearly and it is not tinny.
The combination of 2 pickups sounds quite "pop", there are ways to calm down with that, even if it is not his strong point.

I do not like the pickups handles general, I do not place ...

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it? What thing do you like most/least about it? Did you try many other models before getting this one? What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? * ...
In short, a try at least once in their life, with the distortion and overdrive, otherwise it is not worth it I think.

In any case, my next guitar, the question is which model to choose. I saw this one new to 999 € in a music store, which does not seem expensive for the quality of the instrument. That said he is sure way to find cheaper.

Finally: I compared with her sister "Epiphone" Nothing, nothing, nothing to see! If you make the scene, forget it!
