UTILIZATION

I say that the pickups are not the best in the world but with a 12-string c is difficult to say if another pair would be better.
The handle is at the top and perfect for this guitar.
The head, the head outright but then downright heavy, heavy ...
Must fight with weight, but as with 12-string c is pretty freestyle,
It does not change,

must suffer to be beautiful!

Otherwise, the sound that goes well anyway.

SOUNDS

C is a SG
With 12 strings ...
What amazed me the most, c is the sound mode amp off, no power (I have a big Marshall, so when it's off, I feel weak ....)
A rich, round full of vibrations and even better than some 12 string acoustic that I've crossed.
In fact, I use it more often m without amp
Good my amp is temporarily out of order, but even it's really nice in acoustics and strong enough not to wake the neighborhood, but without losing the pleasure of 12 strings.

OVERALL OPINION

Less than a year since I have it,

To be honest, I wanted the double release handle: EDS 1275
But after 1 year and a half waiting Gibson cancel my order because it is no longer manufactured, the serious drama!
And then I cross the road to 1/2 EDS, what a funny thing, but still, it al looks cool!
I'm really happy to have fallen for this model that was what I wanted but light.
In short, a good buy,
all the more that this guitar is not widespread, it is a collector that does not tear my skin ass, nor any short buttocks.
I put 8/10 and no more because the microphones can be improved and the weight of the head could be reduced with lighter cars.
For cons, I find really beautiful violin very well finished wood sound really good.
Okay, I'm being harsh because this is not a super model customshop death that kills but 1300 €, it may require a little, but only a little because of the price of other vintage models.

In addition, I just fall for the sg les paul tribute (2 x classic57, vibrato sideway, Rounded neck, severe hearts).
2 SG'' standard'' and not too expensive!
Thank you Gibson, but there must stop making affordable guitars with lots of itches appeal!
My banker he serious mouth now!
