Made in Franche at Bédarieux.
This is the version 2 with 'n', the bridge with a lyre way.
Mahogany body, maple top, binding on the turn and the handle, which is in ebony, 22 frets.
1 Seymour Duncan TB4 in the bridge and Seymour Duncan SH1 1 '59 in the neck.
2 volumes, 1 tone, 1 3-position selector and split pickups on the tone knob.
A damper on the lyre tailpiece which passes not necessarily aesthetic overtones, and saturated, it's ugly, so to mater.

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice, small (width), round but not really thick, it is a small handle.
It is glued, the sustain is really, really good.
The guitar is well balanced with a strap, it does not sting the nose.
Access to treble without constraint.

SOUNDS

Rather it looks like a jazz-rock-type guitar, but I play rock / metal or trash.
Mine is granted to drop C, it has a definition in the bass impressive, I had compared to an ESP Eclipse 2 (the lighter version) and the result was really not in favor of ESP, it had a dry sound, without serious compared to Roxanne that has its 'thick' bass and very warm.
I like to split the pickups, in fact, it is indispensable to me, can be obtained with very crunch 'Hendrix' with the neck pickup as acute and guitar becomes very versatile. TB4 in the bridge not send a lot of sauce, enough for very big, it's still pretty clean while being warm, EMG would bcp clean but also dry.
I plugged in a mk2 Triamp, I admit I blow a little trouble taming the bass since it has (too) I also plugs into my head Engl Savage 60.
Wood (body and set neck) really bring the size of his, and this table really adds brilliance in the sound that highlights the mix.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 8 years I think, I compared to an ESP of the same range but Lag corresponded best to the sound I was looking big, thick, rich, versatile, modern rock.

I do not like too much against by the Lyre tailpiece, I had to quell the vibrations with a piece of foam, if not significantly block the sound disco. I do not like too much either the gold hardware or vintage style knobs that are not practical

I love the sound that comes out, turn huge 'as it is very small. Its ergonomics and its weight as it weighs just as much as my PRS Custom 22, and I like to feel that weight.
