A volume / Tone by microphones + three switch positions
These components are of very good quality made to last in time.

USE

- Is the handle enjoyable?
Question subjective .... personally I'm more comfortable on the handle on a flat handle typ Ibanez. Once rgl action is very low and without frieze.

- The access to acute (desti- nations most recently freight) is it easy?
Is clearly not an ergonomic guitar on this map. But ... I personally played some solos between the 20th and 22nd in the box so I mad.

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
The guitar is heavy (4.6kg) but with a good strap passes, even during long RPTES or concerts.

I like less weight and ergonomics compar a Start, but it is a sacrifice to make if you like the sound.

Oh yes ... I had two Gibson LP Standard + Japanese (Tokai, Bacchus, OBG ...)

Oh yes, it's perfect.

Regarding the advice I've read below:

- Those who complain about the finish: a guitar to try before you buy. When we can put more than 2000 in a guitar one is more 50 train ... Indeed some guitars are poorly finished, but at the Custom Shop (> 2004) is rather rare.

- Dissolves varnish guitar .... and everything is cast: why did you buy, you'd lose money? With the varnish, it is actually soft, marks quickly, but the nitro lacquer allows you to leave the wood to breathe (unlike plastic coatings that form an opaque shell around the guitar).

- Those who say c'tait better before ... I have a lot of custom test before taking mine and he has very bad models in all periods. It must arrter with gnralits in this genre and TRY!
