UTILIZATION

- So in terms of the handle (part I dreaded that much) I was pleasantly surprised by its thickness more than correct (I have a stratovolcano that has a handle end so I was afraid to be with a tron tree) that do nothing to slow movements. For cons, the handle is covered with a varnish (like most Les Paul) which I find very unpleasant because it is "sticky" so it seems to have sticky hands when we play which is a little destabilizing.

- Access to treble is rather easy when you do not exceed the 18th cargo, after this course it becomes more difficult because of the shape of the guitar. I do not have enough time since to see if it goes with the habit alone or not.

- For usability, it is heavy, very heavy which is désabilisant at first, but ultimately I find quite nice, there is a greater sense of power when playing (you still have to predict a wide strap for carrying the beast). It is well balanced, the head does not look and the weight is distributed well. Question form is a Les paul is like it or not, for my part I find it beautiful.

SOUNDS

For me the sounds will not be very useful because the mine was equipped with DiMarzio PAF classic, I can not give my opinion on the microphones of origin.

- Topped of microphones, it should totally my style of music (rock / blues) and developing sounds especially wonderful crunch and clean.
- You can get almost any sound that you want, only the metalheads will be just one can (and again). The clean sounds are especially beautiful.
- I play with a Vox amp with 20W multi-purpose
- I especially like the clean and crunch sounds perfect for playing blues. I have not yet found a sound that I did not.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5-6 hours. I love her look very original and classy and beautiful sounds, for I hate against the varnish on the handle.
I try my strato jackson and that I forget the model and another Epiphone les paul from home and the one that smells the best draws.
The value for money is rather appropriate, I bought for myself on occasion with micro DiMarzio.
Yes I do it again with the experience that choice, no doubt.
