Guitar-type "Gibson" on many points.
-Original design, shape, "Roxane", or "double cutaway Les Paul" (not the same as SG, I know I have one too) bizaute Fawn Modern Aesthetics.
-Plastic plate a little cheap.
Two-Humbucker Ibanez
3-position selector + volume and tone for each pickup, as with Gibson
Channel 22 frets (prcises round) shape "lumberjack" the gibson.
Al-Mache mahogany, rosewood fingerboard. Net "nacrquot; around the neck and head.
Resumed the twelfth fret, but normal landmarks along the handle (on the net) as on any guitar, so it does not disturb.
Bridge-type "tune-o-matic" without tailpiece (strings through the body)

Not because I put ten finishes "pearl" plastic plate too cheap.

The solid, the srieux. Guitar made in Korea, which explains its price more than honest.

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable little one likes the Gibson style, because as big as round type strat (nothing Gnant if you like)
Accs the acute-playable, but not exceptional kind or JEM guitar of its kind
-Rather heavy (mahogany) without excess.
-Easy to use with configuration very classic.

SOUNDS

I bought it to get the Led Zeppelin sound, I got it.
The micro acute saturations fabulous book, a micro damn well!
Sustain excellent, for real (thanks to the strings through-handle al ... it works!)

Micro fat too serious (type Roxane actually) that I dplait and drooling in his clear, not at all good at playing the blues in its clear or pitcher.
By idalie against a big distortion, many serious, solid sound like "Metal" is very quickly obtained.

Its saturated acute: 10/10 (even more considering the price of the guitar!)
Drive sound serious: 9 / 10 (IDAL to play the metal)
Its clear: 6 / 10 is clear is round, it can even be clean, short, ca dpanne widely. But to play jazz or blues, it's not a gift: too fat on the bass, without Personal on the rest.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year.

It is made for heavy distortion (hard rock, metal, heavy type VanHallen ...) but has a really clear sound banal. Why pay two and a half times more expensive to have a roxane? they are very similar. If you like the style, DARK!

on the other hand, as a fan of blues, I have some requirement Lapart sounds clear and full, and this guitar does not suit me. I prfere lair are clearly obtained with p-90 pickups types or p-100, with a roundness and greater DEFINITIONS, even if the condemned cell to stop playing metal.

résumé to report quality-unbeatable price (find a handle on al mahogany body with visible veins that price is not the ais ...)
Drive sound (any type of saturation) nikel
Its very clear boundaries without being unusable, they are just banal.

[edit] I use it for two years now. I have the virtual plastic plate, no INCREDIBLE dfonce below! So I have not called, it has another face. Really more class.
I also replaced the pickups: DiMarzio BluesBucker on the stick and SuperDistortion "dual sound" on the easel.
I have cbl with push-pull on their respective volume buttons, which allow me to move the coils of each microphones SERIES / parallle. Suddenly, the sound is absolutely fabulous. I will not m'tendre it, because it dpend especially of the choice of microphones.
Emphasis added by the coup against the wood and the handle al the guitar offers all its fullness, while the sustain, in short, all his quality. The violin of this guitar is excellent dcidment invoice.
I put 9 / 10, but know that this guitar possde a great potential. I hte to hear in ten years, since I would probably still.
