UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?
Well it's a Gibson thin. It is more solid than my Les Paul Florentine, but it is enjoyable to play. In any case I love the feel of pearl on ebony.

- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
As easy as on a Gibson ...

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
The body is very large and bulky enough guitar - but it is also precisely what gives the "touch". Weight is important, but I'm a big boy ...

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
The Gibson's, which remains for me the best. Available through the phase switch positions 5 x 3 = 18 microphone positions positions that give an interesting palette to find exactly what you're looking. It can switch from one mode to a rhythmic mode lead to having to touch the volume pots.

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?
I play rock, blues, funk and jazz. The guitar fits perfectly.

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play on a line 6 Vetta HD with a 4 * 12 of the same brand. But happiness - even if a head lamp to give me a more interesting grain.

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
In his clear, it sounds really warm and clear, as Gibson knows it. Perfect for the James Brown funk. I really in crunch blues sound perfect. In addition to using the phase swith, I can easily emulate a single coil sound - so you need the whole range. Super saturated, it goes with précisision not that of my Ibanez (the output level is not extreme), but it sounds great. I will leave one's AC / DC good years (1976-1984) fingers in the nose!

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I've had two weeks now and I use it as a second guitar. It will take the lead on blues songs, for sure.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
I love the face and sound.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Good value.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes.
