Kergo « An extraordinary guitar! »
Published on 06/27/13 at 09:04Guitar handmade in France. The exact model is Lag The Blues Californian Series. It has at the heel of the neck plate with serial number.
Fixed bridge.
The handle is of type strat.
The head also strato kind.
22 Frêtes. Pickup Seymour Duncan Hot Rails humbucking neck pickup Lag.
A 3-position selector: Bridge, both pickups, the neck pickup.
A volume control. No tone control.
UTILIZATION
The handle is really great for people like me who have short fingers. It is very easy to play. Access to acute is particularly easy.
The guitar is heavy and the body is much thicker than on a Japanese guitar Ibanez RGA kind. About 1 cm longer. So the guitar has incredible sustain.
The sound is particularly good. Creamy, bluesy with the handle and hot micro incisive and well with the bridge pickup. The clean sounds are really good.
This guitar is highly versatile despite its name.
SOUNDS
I play metal with it and in my opinion, well above a U.S. stratovolcano. The sound is a little less sharp than the am & Rican.
I play with a pedal Korg AX 3000G. I played some time ago still live line on a sound through a pre-amp Presonus Eureka. The sound is just huge.
To this day I played on a Marshall MG 101 CFX, a pre-amp Presonus Eureka and Korg Ax 3000G.
Again, the sound is amazing.
We can both play the Maiden plans that the speed of Stratovarius or the good old Hard Rock style AC / DC.
The neck pickup can solo that sounds really terrible.
The bridge pickup played with a wah wah is really extraordinary.
There is no sound that I do not like.
It also sounds very very clear sound.
OVERALL OPINION
I have this guitar for about 10 years. (I think ..).
I had and still have an Ibanez RGA 42, a Squier Stratocaster, a Aria Pro 2 Viper series. I had long ago a U.S. Strat. I would never trade my Lag against the Strat.
Today this guitar has become rare. It is found on the web between 500 and 800 euros. I paid 300 euros but it was well below its value because the person who sold me had financial problems. It was worth 6,000 francs at the time it came out in the mid 90's.
The only thing I do not like is the pick guard to look "shell" unpleasant to my taste.
The general form of this guitar oscillates between Strat and Telecaster.
I would buy this guitar again!
