All user reviews of 5/5 for the Gibson Les Paul Custom

- In which country she does doing? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
Mine is a 2008 model, makes the Custom Shop (it seems to me that before 2004, these guitars were produced in standard workshops)

- How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration?
22 frets, 2 humbuckers 490R / 498T

- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Fixed bridge

- What are the rglages (volume, Tone slecteur micro ...)?
A volume / Tone by microphones + three switch positions
These components are of very good quality made to last in time.

- What type of race?
Hose-like rounded which is well in hand

USE

- Is the handle enjoyable?
Question subjective .... personally I'm more comfortable on the handle on a flat handle typ Ibanez. Once rgl action is very low and without frieze.

- The access to acute (desti- nations most recently freight) is it easy?
Is clearly not an ergonomic guitar on this map. But ... I personally played some solos between the 20th and 22nd in the box so I mad.

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
The guitar is heavy (4.6kg) but with a good strap passes, even during long RPTES or concerts.

SONORITS

- Appropriate your style of music?
I play mostly rock so it fits perfectly. Whether its clear or on saturated it provides!

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Laney VC30 + Blackstar HT Dual

NOTICE GLOBAL

- How long have you use it?
I use it for 6 months.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
I like the particulirement sonorits and aesthetics of the guitar.
I like less weight and ergonomics compar a Start, but it is a sacrifice to make if you like the sound.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Oh yes ... I had two Gibson LP Standard + Japanese (Tokai, Bacchus, OBG ...)

- How do you report qualitprix?
Clearly bad new. As used against it is rather good.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice ...?
Oh yes, it's perfect.

************************************************** *********
Regarding the advice I've read below:

- Those who complain about the finish: a guitar to try before you buy. When we can put more than 2000 in a guitar one is more 50 train ... Indeed some guitars are poorly finished, but at the Custom Shop (> 2004) is rather rare.

- Dissolves varnish guitar .... and everything is cast: why did you buy, you'd lose money? With the varnish, it is actually soft, marks quickly, but the nitro lacquer allows you to leave the wood to breathe (unlike plastic coatings that form an opaque shell around the guitar).

- Those who say c'tait better before ... I have a lot of custom test before taking mine and he has very bad models in all periods. It must arrter with gnralits in this genre and TRY!

UTILIZATION

A Les Paul "classic" as it has "flaws", if true, well known in terms of ergonomics game: heavyweight, no cutting of the body with a stop at the back that you mark the coast access difficult to acute after the 15th to 17th case, an imbalance (moderate) to the lower body (straplocks recommended), maybe a toggle switch located less than a Stratocaster when you want to instantly switch from a microphone to a other ... The varnish-beautiful-is rather weak (sensitive to scratches etc..) And appears "sticky" or rather an indefinable sensation not necessarily pleasant at first touch (when you sweat a little etc..). All this is clear enough when we played so far on Fender Stratocaster ... and then little by little to tame the beast, for it is really this: you get used to it (fits?) ... The handle patina and touch is excellent and it is really nice, very comfortable. The weight is a bit forgotten (except perhaps if you play long standing? A very good belt as the Gibson Modern Vintage and guitar seems to have lost two pounds, and more!) ... And visual and sonic character does the rest: what a sound!

SOUNDS

What a sound! What sustain! Both pickups are typed, various complementary. One begins to finally-use volume and tone of the guitar to build his own sound. Beautiful clean tones, round, a pickup more powerful, sharp and with a clean soul snapping a middle position as it should ... with little equipment, but if possible, good quality, perfect guitar for blues, rock, heavy-blues/heavy-rock that I love, but ultimately versatile enough to play a little all styles (except perhaps classical and heavy metal instrumental shredders ...).
My amp: Hughes & Kettner TubeMeister TM18H with baffle TM112C (simplicity, and the rest of the guitar is a good set!). Additional Effects: Suhr Riot distortion for more "modern", TC Electronic Hall Of Fame (reverb) and Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble (+ wah Fulltone). With all (just) that: simple-including volume and tone of the Custom-to an already great range of interesting sounds settings.
I love all the sounds of my Les Paul!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for eight months, and learning my guitar, week after week, makes me love him a little more each day! The defects erase the pleasure felt by playing and listening to the sound it provides. Its warm, delicate vintage without being ridiculous in modern records, preferred to that of a '57 and a '58 Goldtop YOUR tested in parallel. Forgotten my old Ibanez JS100! As for my American Deluxe Stratocaster: I still love its beautiful clear sound and comfort, but I naturally put to play Hendrix and the Red Hot Chili Peppers on my Les Paul ... it is a sign that never fails! I love everything about this guitar, even the button Richlite *: after the disappointment of not having a good old noble wood fibers, I find it rather elegant (dark color, very close to the wood) and comfort really extra (over the material will probably be better in time for the wood). A little too fast here wear gold finish where the left hand is placed in most cases, but good brands will wear it a vintage charm, recalling that she was born in 1954 and accompanied the whole story rock, and still accompanied by beautiful way today.
More classic, typical, Les Paul Standard today; excellent despite significantly lower than signatures and other prestige lines price is a choice I do it again, finally with a good quality / price / performance, with a little history (Gibson, the Rock) that was in the hands ...

Made in the USA - depending on the serial number engraved on the handle, you know the exact place and date of manufacture - I bought new in December 1982 PARIS 14, at Gaïté Music (I think the store n longer exists, unfortunately). This is not really the color I wanted, but it was only this one promotion (20%) and I took it as a Marshall JMC 800 single body. Paid 8,800 francs (which corresponds to about 3000 euros today).

I tried a few times because I was immediately conquered by the sustain due to the weight of this guitar. It weighs its weight. The handle is extra thin, flat enough ... the strings are very low, but it does not frieze ... you can play it fast enough on the handle. I love it.

Plugged into a tube amp, you immediately recognize the sound of the Gibson Les Paul Custom ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice.
Easy access to acute and sublime.

SOUNDS

You can play everything with: Hard rock, funk, jazz, metal, but it may also be preferable to have active pickups ...

I love all the sounds as well pickup, neck pickup or mix of both.

OVERALL OPINION

I always handle is always the same, the sound too. Probably due to some scratches waistband and other buttons.
This was my second guitar after Aria Pro 2. I've had a Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster which is different but also excellent. By the same.

Although today it may be worth 3000 euros (I do not know) I think this guitar has nothing to do with the other great guitars Fender, Ibanez etc ...

Without hesitation I would do this choice.

With a Les Paul custom GIbson 1979 aged red wine, handle very typical late 70's Gibson ... ebony fingerboard 22 frets, pickups T TOP (tim shaw), highly rated microphones!

UTILIZATION

Quite late innings against other GIbson other times by ... weighs against its weight, 4.9 kg for mine .... 2h show we feel the past ...

SOUNDS

Sound level is the foot ... the best sound you can get! its a dream we quickly forget the weight ... Gary Moore / Slash and company ... we find the grain! anyway mine equipped with T TOP (vintage) because recent studies have a more modern sound ....

OVERALL OPINION

purchase without regret!

Usual characteristics of a LP.
Regarding the specific model, it is white with black triple binding, the hardware is gold, the microphones are 490R and 498T humbuckers ... and the oysters are large rectangles.

With regard to natural wear: beige varnish turns fast enough, the golden leaves room for the rigging of the silver chafing ... it slips nicely with the game Question of view, but I find more and more beautiful.

This is very subjective, but for me it is simply aesthetically perfect, this is THE guitar! And it is largely for this "aura" we chose this guitar.

UTILIZATION

Gibson Les Paul, it's been! So I'll just remember the aspects that must be overcome to tame the myth:

This is a guitar heavy, we feel that it has been on the back
The patent (beautiful!) Glue a little at the rear of the handle.
The angles are not saving the right forearm.
Access to acute (from the 15th fret) is complicated.

This is really not a guitar "comfortable", or a bear, or play!
And installation of ... straplocks is simply indispensable as the size of attachments is ridiculous.

But right before his meme talk, we forgive him these details immediately as we feel that the object is held between the hands is not a simple guitar ... It's hard to describe, it was love at first sight or not

I had heard of problems holding agreement certe, but after a very légé shot at the lime of Sol nut it has been exemplary.

SOUNDS

I'll avoid the pile of superlatives .... But p .... n! this sound, this sound .... this is beautiful: ')

For a brief description:
The microphone is particularly acute flattering saturated, there is a real grain perfect for all styles of Rock. Volume 10, tone 10 is Gibson's big!
The microphone is more suitable for serious cleans sound is round, it is soft while maintaining a true presence. Here the tone control makes sense, it is very clean.

Overall, it was a fat and rich. To imagine the weaknesses, the sound is not enough for slamming funk, and not accurate enough for metal.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years, and I'm never bored. Difficult to crack for another guitar after this one.

I was on a Ibanez JS100 forward, easy to play relaxed. And honestly, the week that followed the purchase of the Gibson made me doubt as the difference in comfort was huge. But after this adaptation time, hard to go back ... What a pleasure to play, what sound sensations!
Another black spot, I was not far from discomfort when completing the check ... I still have cold sweats.

But hey, this is THE LEGEND, it deserved: a little muscular shoulders, is forgetting rash on the forearm, we eat potatoes for a few months, and a serious Gymnastics hands for access to Acute ... and it is finally adopted.

Being reasonable, there is necessarily better or cheaper ... being reasonable. But how regret purchasing this kind of jewelry: D!

This review is for a USA made Gibson Les Paul I bought from a local music store. Mahogany neck and body with a maple top and rosewood fingerboard. Black with gold hardware, Gibson 490R and 498T humbuckers. 2 humbucker, 3 way selector switch and all the rest of your typical Gibson Les Paul features. Got this for a great price as the dealer was on hard times and needed to move stock. Wasn't in the market for this but couldn't resist.

UTILIZATION

I have to say that newer Gibsons get a bad rap from many guys I know. Maybe with the new fret boards I can see that but this thing is a great playing and extremely well made guitar with the old wood. I have another custom shop Les Paul and it definitely gives it a run for the money. Very good attention to detail compared to some I see sitting in some of the chain music stores for sure.

SOUNDS

The guitar plays perfectly but I will say this, I hate stock Gibson pick ups. Maybe for some styles of music, these are sufficient but for hard rock or metal, I definately needed something hotter than the stock pick ups provide. I swapped them out for a MotorCity Detroiter in the bridge and an Suhr Aldrich in the neck and holy moly this thing rips! I like the fact that it is significantly lighter than my other Les Paul but does not lose any of the great sustain and tone I can get from it with exactly the same pick up configuration.

OVERALL OPINION

Love everything about the look and feel. For the price I got it for, it was absolutely perfect and worth the money. I would never pay the $3,999 price tag that usually comes with these as no guitar is worth that kind of money. Being that I got it for a fair price, I will say it was well worth it. Having played many Les Pauls in the past, this is right up there with the best of them so in my own mind I put to rest the bad things that are said about newer Gibson products. As I said before, the pick ups weren't my thing so I swapped them out and now the thing is near perfect. In my case, I would easily recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a solid axe to play.

UTILIZATION

This is a perfect guitar. For anyone that likes the Les Paul style, this is the bee's knees, the cream of the crop, the top banana. Nothing sounds, feels, looks, or plays quite like it. From year to year, there are little quirks, little tiny idiosyncrasies that one can look for, but for the most part, this is a guitar that has remained unchanged in design since the late 1950s. The neck plays like pure, silky butter.

SOUNDS

Singing, smooth, sensuous sustain meets biting, bold, bright bombast. This guitar can play anything well, from rock, metal, jazz, reggae, ska, country... There are 3 basic tones out of this, as well as variety of variations with the tone pot, volume knob blending, etc, but this guitar can literally sound great in any style of music. I've played this guitar in all manner of setups, in Marshalls, Fenders, Mesas, Bogners, digital amps, solid state, through all kinds of pedals, and no matter what, this guitar's perfect tone soars through.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is the classiest solidbody guitar ever made, period. I don't think it's possible to compete in the solidbody realm in terms of sheer elegance mixed with simplistic design - this is a perfect guitar. Anyone that hasn't tried one out yet is committing a grave personal offense to themselves!

Pure US product, the solid c ... for me the best of the best!
tiny dj I rvais this beauty and I have not waited too long for me to offer
MODEL 1990 - sunburst - custom config standard

UTILIZATION

The handle is incredibly easy - the strings ready trs freight, but fun!
I wanted to do it once and rgler ... 's cost me 0 balls, there was nothing on it!
I play on JUNOIR dj, and other STANDARD STUDIO and allows me to say that ct the custom, they are meeerdes!
the guitar is really well done - and more beautiful she is - cot weight, yeah, the custom is a guitar man - I'm used to the extent that most guitars lgres me seems to be toys!
at her, it's IDAL - must say that am still bottom and saturates (I'm not picky)

SOUNDS

For me, the guitar ROCK by c DEFINITIONS - I always untile of Marshall JMP (super crunchy), JCM 800 (punck-rock) and JCM 900 (just over mtal now) and c at all good
no complaints - I use only the sharp 10 micro - micro serious profits me BY PASS

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 14 years since she has my cts and have not had a shit (by changing the nut, but hey, c'tait the era or she did not have time cool - I did change the original made in pice GIBSON) - what I like most is the shape and .. weight, it is my guarantee of quality!
before the HT, I did not try, I trust ... I never nel'ai regrettbr /> report qulit price: it's expensive to buy but the advantage is that hard all your life guitar
if I were to buy a skyscraper is to say a 2nd, I buy the same or DELUXE (MODEL 1966 envcore = heavier)

Les Paul Custom wine red 1976 all original

says it all!
ADJUSTMENTS not complicated, or either or both (binary what!)
volume and tone of each micro
22 frets

UTILIZATION

The handle is a rgal (qd often to clean it even without a stick!) But mine is 1976
and since the handles have changed (I think)
Access in acute way, worse than the sg eg.
instrument rather heavy, but I weigh 90 kgs so I do not care!
to play it's not easy sitting.
The ITS, however, is inimitable, warm, crunchy to perfection, good jazz to blues rock musclbr /> del to see even if you want to go (it's not a 7-string either! !)
brief sound les paul is a trademark (as can be eg the sound stratocaster)
I put 8 for ergonomics but it is a mature woman then you will not change!

SOUNDS

Yes it suits my style quite a while button but I do not advise
big hard like rotten trash mtal ructation t-rex ca would spoil the beautiful stuff
I play on a 30W Class A amp I do not remember what year that will still not too bad
I'm playing either pickup or both, but more rarely in race
must qd same cost so it is difficult to dcrire sound, let alone the sound qd please!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 20 years, whether it is the instrument which does not spare.
I was lucky, I have long used a Stratocaster in 1972 who was also crying
I tried a little of everything but I must say that the instruments of the stores (or other musicos)
Not all rgls very well and it really hurts a Premire approach.
Qd So I go back on my gibson is like if I went up in my mrcdes
APRS trying Laguna dd.
Levcertes price, but an LP achte not for resale APRS 6 months!
If I had the choice again, yes, qd was whether I could that's another story!

Gibson releases tons of these guitars every year, and they're probably one of their more consistent guitars. I find that they tend to be put together a bit more than your normal Standard, even though they're all made in the same factory by the same guys. Maybe it's just in my mind. The guitar features a mahogany body with a maple top, mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard, 22 frets, trapezoid inlays, pickguard, binding, hard tail bridge, two humbuckers, two volumes, two tones and a three way switch.

UTILIZATION

The guitar had some nice inlay and binding work. There were no fillers anywhere, and you could see that they took their time with it. The nut on this was cut properly, and that's a fairly rare thing to see from Gibson. I normally find their nuts to be roughly cut and need some extra work once they get to the shop. The frets on this were good, and I was able to get some nice and low action without much of an issue. There was some slight choking out on certain frets, but it wasn't a big deal given how low I had the action. The rest of the guitar is pretty much your standard Les Paul but with an ebony fingerboard instead of the standard rosewood one.

SOUNDS

The guitar had EMGs swapped into it. It had the EMG 81 in the bridge and the EMG 60A in the neck. The 81 was great for metal, and it worked super well with this guitar. It could do In Flames to a T, and that was something that I was real happy with. Boost a 5150 and plug this guitar in -- instant Bjorn tone. However, it lacked the versatility that you'd normally get from a stock Custom due to these pickups. The neck was a 60A, and it worked great for cleans. It's a bit fatter than the normal 60, and I find it has a little more character for lead tones as well. It has an almost single coil tone to it at times, but it's somewhat beefy thanks to the natural construction of the guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

These are some of my favorite Gibsons due to the extra bite they tend to have. Gibsons can be a bit too thick at times, and the ebony board really helps keep that in check. It may seem like a small piece of wood, but I always felt it has a big impact on tone. I'm not normally a big fan of ebony as a tone wood, but it works quite well on these guitars. Maybe I'm just too used to how Customs sound to hear the harshness that I hear in other guitars.

Guitar US
Such as Strato, the Les Paul is "THE GUITAR".
The finish of the custom is beautiful, the head exploded in his diamond abalone binding and 3-ply is the most beautiful head of guitar existe.La finirion body with 3-ply binding Submitted on the table and back, gives this guitar an incredible class.

UTILIZATION

Yes this guitar is heavy (4.750 Kg), that is a guitar "of man." Cot handle Gibson has manufactured for and my 2 custom pais.De + I + prfre the handle end of the 1977, that of 1991 + pais. Against the other at the frets c is a killing we do not feel under the fingers, the name of this guitar is "wonderfull fretless" is not usurped.
The use is very simple: all the way into the Marshall.

SOUNDS

The sound is BIG trs trs with incredible sustain and harmonics fuzzent. For clean sounds it can play with the two volume buttons for the attnuer distorsse.
I plug the beast is a 2 marshall body is in a rivera Chubster 40, and in two cases I have SOUND.
In the velvety blues of the grave is a pure micro merveille.La intermdiaire position with two microphones is also interesting for arpges rhythms or "funky".
The 1977 has a brighter sound and less fat than the 1991 + which it sounds with fat sustain incroyable.Il Note that often two supposedly identical guitars do not sound like ever.

OVERALL OPINION

The custom has Premire t my "real" guitar, even though now I use it a little less than before (strato forces) that is my eyes + nice guitar in the world.
His biggest default is above its weight, and a lesser extent the Access in acute but its qualities are such that we quickly forget his dfauts.UNE GUITAR LEGENDARY unfortunately far too ch re like me, but if you find a flea market for a 1991 Custom 3500 F (no no you're not dreaming are many francs) Buy.

Correction
In fact my Les Paul that I thought of 1991 is 1970, it is now repainted in its original color "cherry sunburst", this guitar is a killer in the SON and niveaud LOOK.C is today the guitar that I uses it most, it is so Submitted group that it is the job of two guitars.

Then the beginners:

Ben bte all, it is a les paul ... ah ztes property avancsl eh! Well, let's go a little more in the same dtails right ... Here we go.

Again, but we do rpeter enough I think: attention to the stand on which you will ask it! The varnish of the guitar is so fly nitro-cellulose in the stands plastoc low end that could perform all necessary to polish the guitar and altrer finish ...

But it is far from being the largest in the Gibson Les Paul Reissue of sleeves 60, 59, 58, 57 and 56 are much worse (further down in the year, bigger is .. . Imagine the round of the '56 ...) In fact, someone told me on another forum: round of the '60 reissue Les Paul Custom Shop '50 = profile for non-custom Gibson shop.

In résumé:

Everything is trs classic, made more than 60 years as it has, there is no reason that a change!
Everything works well trs, the guitar is a RULES original perfection, a frieze does not, fine.
My only complaint for the strap-locks: I looked over prs in the store and I said, "but what's that-M ****? ? " No, no and no if you want to take the guitar on the foot is perfect (and 4kilos and 500 grams of bte, I can tell you that you will feel it!) They are small, and trs round, not really for it to properly hold a strap: strap-investing in locks mandatory, unless you play in your room which case it's good. I have all virtual and I put Schaller: The Dunlop, cki parat ... better. But never seen or test so ... Schaller Vive!

I opened the guitar, no complaints about the welds or The elements of electronics, it's beautiful, it's clean and smells good work.

9 because of the varnish of the handle and straps.

UTILIZATION

The use is somewhat ... Or specially plutt ... Dlicate.

Several complaints:

A-LP is small but it's big too ... We see the petty cash of Les Paul, any and all mimi but when it was in the arms, it seems Olala standard! The weight does not help it's heavy, it feels the guitar man (yes a man with a big "H")
-The Access in acute .... mythical ahhh! Body-neck junction is making the 16ME box, it is not to grab the ais 22me. Anyway, Jimmy Page, Zakk Wylde, Slash, uh, has had too much air to GNER ... Well then it is faster, unless you leave a Washburn N4 guitar is one of the best Submitted Access in acute march ... L ... Jpeux do anything for you.
-Last point: Beware of unintended switchage prs for those who scratch the handle (I am) it needs to be done. It is the opposite of the stratum: stratum need to be careful not play a prs of the bridge and the opposite ... Good is not it nothing is being done.

Standing the balance of the guitar is what makes a good little mention his weight, but with APRS 1:30 RPET, I am relieved to return to the Start! Prvoyez the muscle! I'm kind of plutt puppy so it can be explained (1m75 to 65kgs)
Small dtail some Gnant: the lack of muzzle (like a Start) to facilitate the positioning and playing the right hand.
Sitting is better, you no longer feel its weight, it leaves very easy to play but the lack of muzzle is more upright feel. It is immediately less enjoyable without it.

In résumé: dpart in the game was not very easy for me it's going much better now. I'm used to these "default" that are not really ... It's just a matter of habit.

SOUNDS

So the my children ... When I play the BPS, everyone is in communion in front of me and my amp! What sound! Or should I say, what sounds!

His Clair:

Has ever seen ... A Fender Gibson that sounds almost, you think you? Well I tell you, it exists and I want proof! It is not as versatile sr, as versatile, but we approach it a lot with a surplus of potatoes: it's really not dgueu.
Round neck pickup, a true velvety apricot nectar we drink up in vomit so good! It is a little down the volume and tonality was a jazz sound, a real jazz sound ... Volume and Tone bluesy background is hope! Perfect also for the notes arpges dtachent much from each other even in complex agreements.

Bridge Pickup, ca claque, ca crunch by attacking the strings like a nag, but there are ways to have a real clear sound without much gain or lower the volume while the output level is more than her boyfriend lev 490R. Country, funk, blues, rock and roll ...

Position Intermdiare, SPECIFICATIONS, I use it only slightly trs is a little shuffled the two but it seems that despite ale that a lower output level, the neck pickup takes over ... The sound is affected and it is therefore closer to what I have to handle Describes what I said about the bridge pickup ... The round with a straightforward attack somehow ...

Saturax:

The Claque!
It's hot, it screams, it's really excellent, the ultimate weapon for blues, rock and hard. Metal, Heavy, Goth and other extrmits, change the pickups, ca does not agree probably pass as a certain level of gain, not as ca prcis, the sound becomes too fat and lack of precision is obvious. I personally perfectly fits me!
Sound falling backwards, of which linear potentiomtres rpondent the hair ... Need I say more? It's potato and heat throughout.

OVERALL OPINION

She and I did 1 month.

My 1st guitar trs high-end, it's really not dgueu.
When we got there can not do without! But before it reaches a proportion fMeasure into the head of some ca is not the best skyscraper in the world. This is an excellent guitar, possdant of default and it is necessary to tempra. On lead guitar, while dpend your style, if you only have this guitar, you can quickly go around in circles ... use with other guitars so.

For one thing against sre: the Les Paul is a myth, a myth that is paid, trs expensive (even a bit too) but when you love ...

Access to acute is my faith ... bin as a Les Paul .. ie that above the 19 th box is a little twisted wrist and it goes ...
on the other hand, it weighs a ton!
And yes old manufacturing requires ... table full full full!
And it shows on his ... what sustain!

I use it mostly for solo recordings in the studio and some concerts, and it is accurate, it screams at the same time is very fine and full of emotion ...

SOUNDS

To me that makes the instrument rock is required with a good Start US.
The sounds are great complementary.
Plugged into my Line 6 Vetta II, I get absolutely any sound I want ...
clear sounds real hot and bluesy crunch to many rocks and saturations demonic ...
It is packed with emotions!
Sometimes he can play alone ...

The two microphones are really mind-blowing! An incredible difference ... as one can go from a super aggressive bridge to his velvety sleeve.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 4 years now, and it's my baby!
Only problem ', the weight, I could correct with a very wide belt and a hair elastic.

I had some Les Paul before, and I always, I have tried other, and really it is fantastic!

For me, the ultimate weapon with a good Start US

For me, a guitarist must have two guitars: A Start and a Les Paul

Has any words, MADE IN United States, mine is OCCAZ and has a pair of DiMarzio,
CEOS myth Gibson.

laying Straplock above is mandatory.

UTILIZATION

A little that the handle is enjoyable in 3 years I have zik scratch test, and I have never seen a comfortable and enjoyable ausi round to play.
do not fall into the trap and other prjujs: Lespaul = heavy guitar that hurts the back.
everything depends on the year, the heaviest is 80 'and APRS 2000.
mine is 1990, LP is the lightest I've tried.
the studio is heavy but trs amount range of quality wood etc. .. it manages.
the only problem is ptit Access in acute, but to work, everybody gets there, there is no reason

SOUNDS

I play metal, I'll put emg but for now the DiMarzio are nice, if not thanks to its large thickness of wood and wood lime mahogany
The guitar has a big sound quite heavy original.

[edit May 2008]

t have the DiMarzio chang by emg 81 and 85, before the distortion n'tais not great, it's much better, better DEFINITIONS sound a lot better, prcis, except for I liked the clean and the DiMarzio, but overall I am trs pleased, Submitted guitar suits me more.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not understand why the rating of this guitar is so average, it is one of the best guitars in the world, then messieus, if the price you still hurts to c * l, is not worth it or dfouler to criticize is the top of the top Lespaul.
this guitar is not necessarily heavy, simply choose the year and to learn at all.
in terms of versatility there is no best, they do not match, change the pickups, there is always an answer for everything with gibson is simply this intrument jou can be in any style, jazz blues, black metal. but in rock it really excels.
I had one before that the sg standard, bin the LP is much better, although the rest of the gibson has found some similutes, except that the LP is a little better in all areas: comfort, ...

I had the 1700th on ebay all inclusive, I've bin offered a great gift that I am not ready to get spares.

[edit May 2008] since I've changed the plastic nut of bone, good rvison and the change in micro at all about the 2000th was the guitar, but I stay away the price has more than nine 3000e.certes scratch is expensive but this is the rolls of the LP, finishing it all, is paid a forcment, APRS everyone is free to choose between a new and std OCCAZ of custom, I found that the more beautiful. Finally I would say the custom is a great scratching was preserved when you have one does not give up, rev it a good investment.

nicolasd to view, even if it denies is that Bond'm falling on a defective model, one of the switch box and do not forget the mag or the purchaser would face is simply a pure ecroquerie the seller, then my guitar was 18 years, and the mechanisms are in perfect state, the guitar does not move, there is no paint between the frets, only the high quality ebony trs trs comprss black finishes I want to admit there are some default minimal and varnish trs fragile (but Gibson), but of a have blisters on the neck, a coating that melts so important to DCON, frankly of the guitar has spend years out of something.
