Gibson makes the United States. Guitar 22 frets, two humbuckers (496R in the neck and 500T for the bridge: two microphones raisin bread). Gibson Tune O Matic Systm. 2 potentiomtres volume (humbuckers) and a switch to Tone + 3 positions. Mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard.
Regrettably, the key is not bne, available on New Century in the same brand. Otherwise, good violin trs, trs good components!

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs trs enjoyable! So it is surprising how the game can vary from the guitarist a guitar each other in the quality of the violin! We are prsence a handle but still not solid enough for even one can have a game nergique (labor power of the hand). A handle trs trs subtly Labor source of much pleasure;)) Access in dernires frets is ais but requires a little practice given the unorthodox shape of the guitar. Ergonomics, the balance of the guitar is amazing! This is an extremely good guitar that does not tire balance guitarist. It is not too heavy (fatigue of the lumbar and shoulders) or too lgre (guitar moves all the time, trs boring live). Dpend sound of the string electro acoustic guitar more than her, but even given the quality of the components and the violin, it is unlikely to be due in comparisons bass guitars or mid-range! I REALLY think that after a minimum of customization (microphones, mechanical etc. ..) you get an outstanding high-end guitar!

SOUNDS

I play all in all styles and this guitar is versatile, although it has its limits. This is a guitar that will give the best of it even registers in punk rock, rock seventies, blues rock, alternative, progressive. on the other hand I do not think it fits jazz (too strong, too sharp) or the large mtal (microphones cramique well but when not even the same performance as Alnico type or amplified EMG 81). So if you really want to move hardcore, think change their microphones! I play on an amp ENGL SCREAMER 50 watts, so all the lights. It is a joy, the bond Flying / Engl works perfectly, I play ultra prcis and warm! My string effect Marschall has a compressor that allows me to highlight my clean sounds and my solos distos I possde a distortion pedals MXR Double Shot, a whawha Zakk Wylde. Et. That's it! Not really need more to get a good sound with a guitar and an amp in a clear quality sound is trs prcis notament with the bridge pickup, with distortion, to avoid too much confusion in sound, I put the slecteur position fixes and two humbuckers. Nothing shocks me in sound and I'm fine rflchir before changing the original pickups (can be a pair of Bare Knuckles Mules from home).

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for six months. I absolutely love everything about this guitar part can be the difficulty it brings in a sitting position but who cares because it is made to play live! I tried at least 7 or 8 guitars before buying it from the bottom to the top of the range trs trs .. The ratio quality price is surprising as the price seems ridiculous compared the quality of the instrument .. But, hey, good for us! Into debt to buy the new t scratch the utmost sense that I did with my money for ten good years!
