Made in Korea under PRS-CONTRL States. Setup type "Les Paul" with mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, 22-quip frtes aligned in step PRS (25) is 635mm, halfway between Gibson and Fender, al on one body Mahogany (soft). Team of two double-coil pickups (not splitables) controlled by a slecteur 3 positions with 2 volume knobs and 2 Tone. Stop bar bridge type PRS pr-rgl by design. I put 7 because its not one of the most versatile configuration (as would one or IBANEZ JACKSON 3 pickups and vibrato for example).

UTILIZATION

Channel quite enjoyable despite its width (width: 43.5 - 53), with good grip. The guitar is well balance, lgre with dcoupes many places giving a good acute and Access in a comfortable sitting for games (the chamfer shall adopt additional SUPERIORCOURT back of the guitar Vitantis to ruin the thorax). The plastic nut is against change by, see be replaced! It gives an action (useless) too high, making it uncomfortable agreements in the first box barr and basic chords sound lgrement "dsaccords!" (At least with "46/10"). The rglages leave the factory are not either trs optimiss: When testing in-store, ca bordered everywhere! As strings (cheap) as the key too prs. (It's easier to play but it sounds it!). Otherwise the finish is of good quality and version "black" gives a great look!

SOUNDS

This guitar sounds good "in Acoustic" (like the majority of copies PCs), and once branch (on a Marshall JTM 60) honorably in the pickups sound clear, with a quickly saturate " disto "despite their standard power (8 ohms) but lack a bit of" body "my taste. The pots are not against by trs versatile, both in volume and Tone! But as this guitar is destined plutt a style of music "Mtallo-nag", which are rglages gnral "any substance", it is not Gnant beyond measure. In terms of pure sound, it would fall because (as stated in a test on a site), between a Les Paul and a Tlcaster. We like it or not ... it's got a case! Nanmoins this guitar should go around in style.

OVERALL OPINION

Considering the price, a little more than 600 € is a bargain! After a few mods, this guitar will not have much envy the basic model in Gibson (for example) and a good alternative to TRS Custom Epiphone.
Besides the standard "mods", I advise that it has suffered other except the nut: The pots all changes (two are "push-pull" splitter for the microphones), the microphones were t be replaced by Seymour Duncan (a 59-SH1 and SH6) better suited my style of play, the addition of a vibrato KALLE (the same that silent hill on the Les Paul ann es 80) by a luthier friend and replacement by mcaniques SPERTZEL wraps. Lve a good ... a little but I think this bill Grat worth! Now he has a bit more versatility and Confre him look even more devastating;).
