Hello all.
So I would not stay on describing déjàbien explained in other post (pretending inside P).
If a detail often overlooked in the descriptions (especially the factory), the weight! Here we are at 3.8 kg (weighed on a scale traditional).
Provide a leather strap 6-7 mm.
And that mine was in 2000 (if I believe the serial number on the purchase guaranteed provided).
In addition, I would have liked another Tone knob. By a microphone. How about a volume knob "General".

Note: Despite the good reviews that I do, I do not bring myself to put the notes "perfect". I compare many points with my Les Paul Custom 70 &#39;which, necessarily, than on the point. Then there are the staff appreciation.

It&#39;s part!

UTILIZATION

We are here on a guitar touches everything. And it surprises already under.
At first glance, it looks like a miniature 335, full (solid body). With rounded to the Les Paul. Size approaches a Dual Jet (Gretsch).
And recall a red SG.
Accustomed to handle D, here I think we are closer to the C. In larger still. A little wide for my hands, I use less position "thumb over". The handle is not "fast" in the sense of Ibanez. Provision of limited over-acceleration and seek to bring every note. But that does not stop me to go solo "The Number of the Beast" smoothly. Furthermore, access remains a feast last fret.
Sitting position. The guitar back. Annoying.
The selector also microphones. It is far! Difficult to change quickly in a split second.

SOUNDS

It was! the thick of it!
The sound is atypical made. In the sense that means that we want to hear.
The instrument is handy at the highest point, since many things depends on what you put around and adjustments granted on the guitar.
To test this, let&#39;s say I&#39;m plugged into a Peavey Studio Pro 112 (equivalent to today bandit transistor). The advantage is that this amp provides settings: vintage, modern and gain hight. No pedals.
Clean: Already, a distinct advantage over neck pickup position. It&#39;s round, warm and serious, but far from being "too" serious. For jazz, I prefer playing finger advantage for roundness. Or even to lower the tone and volume on the guitar so the strings less chatter (plectrum).
It Splitt and we offer a passage on "Mary Had a Little Lamb" for the party blues.
I find it still lacks sweetness to really claim shined in these areas. Partly because of Alnico V, which are quickly saturated the pre-ampl. Best of your more traditional instruments, Gibson / Fender.
Or change the pickups (Alnico II). In many aillor person spends on micros "Gibson".
Saturates / distortion: No comment, We are in the chosen field.
This is surly! But not as fat as LP. Its still very defined. Provided they do not push the max gain (but there&#39;s comes in part from the amp). For maximum definition in the solos, I splits the bridge pickup.
And that&#39;s where the positions are vintage and modern play their part.
In vintage, its crunsh well, without too much aggression. Perfect for play
of Izia, The Hive, Jack White, in short, knew vintage P Expect not to turn up the gain too, all the same, or lower the volume on the guitar. It saturates quickly.
And the more modern envoiler disto and from on the Offspring, Deep Purple, Ozzy, ZZ Top, Iron Maiden, etc..
Small details for Iron, I splits the two microphones in its simple to get this
Fendorien double.

Phew. His will, not too long? Lot to read, I know. But also a lot to say. : D
We spend little time on the instrument simply looking for sounds.
Do&#39;ll do just about the height of the microphones that find new sonic palettes.

OVERALL OPINION

Its been just a year that I have. And I think not having finished go around.
Overall, what I like is its versatility. No wonder she was a success. Halfway between vintage and modern, it overwhelms me.
I would have regretted it quickly saturates. Even clean, if not careful, his crunsh. It lacks warmth, compared to high-end instrument.
A good thing, we see the wood through the paint. This is reassuring as well
we see that there is really no knotted. The handle does not move and the strings either.
In made, compared to the purchase made (500 €) is the best guitar I have.
If you wanted a new guitar, or do you put into it, run on Ebay or Priceminister. Between 500 and 700 € it goes well beyond the instruments made in korean or mexican.
Unable to buy a new one. It is no longer manufactured in France. The 500
closest to it can not at his level. And it will cost more.
Also, I think, I hope, that with the success of Lag increasingly growing
it will eventually appreciate in value: D

Here, it&#39;s over. Thank you for taking the time to all (?) Read.
Hoping that his helps you in your choices.
