Double round, twelve and six string ... 4 humbuckers, three switches, two tones, two volumes ...
It comes from Korea, is the copy of the Gibson well known ...
I do not dwell on most is very well explained in the other view ...


UTILIZATION

Obviously, we can expect something a little different from what we usually know ...
Still, with a little practice, once the position is found, it still manages to not be embarrassed by the size of the beast ...
Access to acute is correct, (20 boxes only ...); both runs are nice, the twelve-string is not very large compared to some final rounds of twelve-string acoustic ... At the same time, the strings are found fairly close together, which requires a certain precision in the attack as well as the pick of the fingers of his left hand ...
This guitar has, indeed, tend to lean side heads ...
... It is heavy (about the weight of two guitars ...)
The finish is good, I did not notice any particular defects ...
Something a bit annoying at times, the position of the selector handle easily manipulated unintentionally ... ...
For now, she is very good agreement ...

SOUNDS

Twelve string sound ... This is something really interesting ... different ...
With the effects of modulation type, nice reverb, it gives ...
However, this guitar pickups at fishing ... In twelve string clear sound, it's going ... But the sound quickly becomes messy and ill-defined ... So I think fast enough to replace the original pickups ...
In part six string, it's the same, typical of Epiphone base, I would say ... No fishing, hollow and cold ... Also I have noticed a trend in the microphone ... (I think that's how it's called ...): when playing on a handle and the other is cut means a little vibration of the strings of the other race ... It's not a major flaw for me, but it can be annoying to record such ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one week only ... So it's true that it is an opinion with little experience ... and I have often heard that tired of that kind of scratch .. . But hey, do not buy this guitar scratches as exclusive ... But it will find its place if you are looking for something different both in look that sounds ...
Personally, it's been a while since I tried to offer me a twelve-string ... I took a chance and that's interesting ... I simply will not go systematically the choice given its price ...
There are other twelve string electric that deserve attention ... (stat XII, Danelectro, Yamaha ...) and have a more practical and less bulky than the G-1275 ...
Of course, if you need two legs ...
This guitar has a side a bit "too much" ...
But hey at the base already, you must love ... And sure, do not buy on a whim this kind of pan ...
And finally, I am happy with my case; I finally a twelve string, what is more, fun and original ... It deserves to be upgraddée and I'll tackle it soon ...
