Published on 10/22/13 at 05:27Solidbody guitar made in the USA, the Les Paul is equipped with two microphones Burstbuckers Pro, two tones, two volumes, 3-position selector entirely conventional and locking tuners. The neck and body are mahogany, rosewood fingerboard and flamed maple top.
The handle is called "asymmetric", ie more C-shaped end side ropes acute and more serious side potbellied C strings. Anyway, it is rather thin (but not too much, it is not an Ibanez not more), and is probably the most comfortable I have had in my hands handle (which is very subjective).
The 2008 version has a body that has "room tone" that have been much, much virtual ink on the forums ...
According to Gibson, these recesses are designed to reduce and balance the guitar, but also add more sustain.
According to a number of guys on the forums (some of which are so active that one wonders if they play music from time to time ...), the current timber is of poor quality and do not dry long enough, and suddenly they are heavier than the wood of the past (the famous "before it was better"), where the holes to lighten the whole.
From my point of view, to have tried both models, the current Paul are actually lighter and well balanced. It certainly there is a slight difference in sound (a sound more "open" on the current models, especially noticeable in the clear coat), without it being obvious either.
To sustain is kif kif, the recesses bring nothing but detract either.
All that can be read on the other, in my opinion, it's bullshit, not to say of masturbation ...
UTILIZATION
Given what is said above, the guitar is light, balanced, and provided with a handle that is a model of comfort.
Access to acute is consistent with what one would expect from a Les Paul, ie freestyle.
SOUNDS
Fat, full, warm, powerful, round, these are the adjectives that come to mind to describe the sounds that offers this guitar.
The pickups are simply outstanding in my opinion, they have both a vintage grain magnify sounds clear and light crunch (mention A + to neck pickup), but their magnet Alnico V also allow excesses high Dantesque gain, the microphones cashing unflinchingly huge saturation rates, keeping a good accuracy in all circumstances, coupled with the subtly delicious fat enveloping sound.
Plugged into a two Orange body just trembles if you push the distortion, a powerful, warm and always register with a vintage identity. It seems that around the guitar and the amp may collapse, great!
The pickup is slamming solos become intelligible in all circumstances, and rock rhythms are still unstoppable. Its clear, the microphone is less at ease, but you can still learn things quite friendly.
OVERALL OPINION
This is the guitar that I know will never part (unless you my pic)! I sometimes use others to vary or repeat try, but I always come back to my Les Paul.
It seems there are very poorly finished or poorly adjusted, this was absolutely not the case with mine (I got it new). Its cosmetic condition was impeccable, finishes adjustments.
In my humble opinion, his reputation is well deserved. Its price is clearly prohibitive, but the sensations it provides are unique.
