«  GIBSON's true ... YES!! »

Published on 06/01/11 at 04:03
For specifics, there's sites that will inform better than me ....
Well we will not break the myth, people will say made in USA ..

UTILIZATION

The handle is top for me, a little big for its former keeper then try to palm it because the morphology is not discussed ....
Ditto for ergonomics remains in the position where you put it, the above can be Gibson's fart!
This model is access to acute non-debatable, is the queen.
Is connected and it sounds if you know why we bought it.
The only thing that bothers me is the particular texture of the back of the handle raw ...
Yeah I put 10 because the price I paid for it or is like a dream.

SOUNDS

I do blues, rock and metal, it is happening everywhere less than my Ibanez Egen but much more distinctive, I see it as an advantage.
The clean is good for the lens Fender buys you when you play with the volume they even become quite subtle and full of body.
The crunch is terrible enough typed SG (at the same time is the same microphones so ...) a must.
The drives / distos a real massacre, it is fat but not mushy, even for the death rhythmic palm mute is a terrible cleanliness. The form is there for something faded because LP models have no such definition.
For that kind of scratch it takes the lamp and play hard is the only one to realize this great grain scratches.

OVERALL OPINION

Clearly the studio is dead, yesterday I spent 2 hours to record sound with it on my horse leg ... I confess I almost died and lost the use of my back ... Not made to play seated.
Everything else is top level, repeat or live (ie standing) it sounds fabulous and is very enjoyable to play.
I'm used GIBSON because I sell a lot at the store (I work in a guitar mag), this one is terrible for these models were sold boring $ 1,200 at their exit is just before the lack of enthusiasm that's been downgraded models are good for us.
Try V faded they have a real advantage over other models sound faded.
According to the "strawberry rameneurs" I agree with a model at 3000 Euros will be better than my V faded OCCAZ purchased from the net is 450 Euros. This one is a middle ground and is full of quality for no fault.
