Published on 10/29/11 at 14:59The Gibson Les Paul is definitely one of my favorite instruments that I've ever enjoyed playing. It's extremely versatile guitar overall and a ton thate is just fantastic. You get a very thick and beefy tone because of the mahogany wood on the body and a neck. The two humbucker pickups also add a nice thick juicy tone to the instrument.

SOUNDS
These guitars feature two humbucker pick ups installed with two volume control knobs into town control knobs. Get a pick up selector on the top body and that's pretty much at it as far as features go. It's a very basic guitar but a extremely versatile instrument.
I love the tone of these guitars when you mix it with a good high gain amplifier such as a Mesa boogie amplifier or a Marshall amplifier. When using it with the Marshall amplifier at the two voicings of that amplifier in this instrument mix very well. If you use a bunch of the fax with a clean send or type amplifier this guitar won't sound as good because it's not really built to do the clean style of tones. It really excels in a thick warm tone.
OVERALL OPINION
I highly recommend his guitars to any guitarist out there who needs a great verso guitar for digging or recording. These guitars are very cheap but they're not extremely outrageous and price either. They are mostly a professional's guitar so this is it for a beginner or a newbie guitar player. These guitars have a nice thick tone and overall a great sounding instrument for pretty much any style of music that you use. I highly recommend this guitar to anyone because it's such a great instrument and has such a great feeling tone overall.
