  marron37's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Made in United States
  
  bridge and tailpiece Tune-O-Matic - Stopbar
  
  
  
  slim sleeve type 60
  
  22 frets
  
  p-90 pickups
  
  2 volumes, 2 tones
  
  
  
  the woods are beautiful (to the eye anyway)
  
  the settings are the original nickel
  
  the hardware is quality
  
  and electronics.
  
  
  
  I note that the "room" is not so great that I see it reeks on some forum. We see clearly the back that the body is in 2 parts, one part is 2 / 3 of the body and is full (well, less electronics), the room is in the last third is usually where the hearing in F ( as an example .... Fender Thinline) For me realize that I tap the body with my nail and I can not hear or penne is the cavity.
  
  
  
  Every time, the welds are not beautiful and
  
  nitro varnish / faded extremely fragile and not hit very well finished in the blanks (unlike my Start or my Hagstrom), but the frets are impeccable
  
  Finally, if it is cheap compared to other gibson is because the minimum finish, no binding on the body or on the handle, no gloss, no inlay on the head ....
  
  
  
  quality finish but roots .... which explains its price .. I want to say "no scam for so ..."

  Utilization

  The handle is excellent but like I said, the settings are good so it makes sense that I find comfort handle well ... He is thin and short (yes this is my first so I Gibs compare this to my Fender Start).
  
  
  
  It is light, so it's easier to have borne the angles brittle.
  
  but a chamfer stomach would have been nice ...
  
  
  
  access is acute is worse than stratum (or a different form me can be destabilizing ...) but sufficient for my game

  Sounds

  His side .... bha I wanted p-90 limited edition so this is timely for my purse ...
  
  
  
  I play mostly reggae, rock "classic" or the blues.
  
  These microphones are ideal for registry because it requires or the clean or overdrive.
  
  
  
  So with regard to the amp, you need lights ... because I had the opportunity to play on a transo (a very decent h & k 60 blue edition that captures honor my strat yet) and the unique sound of p-90 is completely obscured ... settings can be ... brief .... 15w lamp on my store ;-) it's all good, it's very terrible, for where the tone controls on guitars are questionable (not very effective on mid-range guitars I've had in the hands so far all brands, it eats too much treble), here we sculpt his sound without losing quality, and finally a scratch where I can use the tones! one passes easily from the Jazz to a crunch sound / solid hit with nothing more than the knobs .... I'm a fan!
  
  
  
  * A little less even when the background noise of microphone ...

  Overall Opinion

  This is a great guitar.
  
  
  
  In the same price range and in the same spirit (I speak but no sound economic principle) Fender Stratocaster classic player offers the 60 (I own too). Gibs here is less flashy but it seems to be of higher quality. the woods are more beautiful on the gibs and the electronics are well above the original settings are perfect on the gibs and a real calamity on the Start ... that said I love the sound and comfort (now set for my taste) of the Start ... I had the two guitars!
  
  
  
  I'm a fan of the stratum .... but I must admit that this cost for the same price Gibs is better! She no fault of the lens slightly

  gregzerozero's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Be excellent in a few years"

  Characteristics

  Spec known, 2 P90 pickups, 2 volume and 2 tones, slim sleeve type ect .... On paper it's great.
  
  
  
  Very disappointed with the finish, is very cheap, almost a faded, a little more color. Finish worm, for me it mean used, not lack of finishing. No gloss, no binding, ca we know but hey, little details like the wood cut down with axes, using lots of wooden parts, even parts of 2 mm wide, micro cavities that are not perpendicular to the strings .... Well I quibble but it has to be a nice "entry level" gibson, it's still the same as a scratching at 700euros, a competition was luxury for the money. I even talking about the cover less than a Fender Mexiquaine.

  Utilization

  Who already have a Gibson Studio DC special, so with a round chambered slim body type and also, I was looking for the same comfort and so I venture to buy from Thomann in VPL. In fact, hard to find a dealer near Gibson saw the conditions they want the stores, thank you Gibson Europe: (
  
  But since the handle and weight is similar to another I, I'm like a home with, very comfortable.
  
  The guitar sounds great and there is no photo, it sounds Gibson.
  
  A personality very different from high-end Epiphone (no less, different). It's nice to hear a single LP, the grain P90 could be observed but the pickups are specific to sound interesting and varied celon microphones and settings

  Sounds

  The sounds are really good, clean to crunch the natural, a good personality while still having a touch Gibson.
  
  It is really striking is the difference between the two microphones, and that's really good, we have a wide range of sounds, it really makes you want to play it.
  
  It collects the effects wonders, whether the distos who are shouting or phaser or other effects. It still sounds good, either directly with the root or a supercharged effect.
  
  
  
  Now of course the fans of metal will probably be better with a double and heavier guitar

  Overall Opinion

  I've had one week and have played a lot and compared to my other scrapes.
  
  
  
  A super skyscraper, it sounds good, it looks good but cheap on the finish you look closely, compared to other Gibs
  
  
  
  Overall it sounds for a good value for money. Once it is really a bit worn, patinated with some real signs of wear, it will be nice and forget the lack of finishing

  jozz54's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " very good compromise between price / dream / quality"

  Characteristics

  For features, I'll be brief, first is the classic, second the other reviews detail:
  
  Gibson Les Paul, Made in USA, config LP (2 pickups, 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-position selector.
  
  Channel 60's: very nice in hand,''no sensation''buche, but that's not all end!
  
  
  
  Obviously the special tribute to the series (beyond the paint, body''chambered''), it is the P90 pickups and that's what decided me.
  
  
  
  For characteristics: it is exactly what I wanted, and it was not the case, I will not get it bought! So: 10/10

  Utilization

  The handle is very nice, very easy access to the 17th box, and far from impossible until the 20th (I was expecting much worse!)
  
  
  
  She is not heavy (confusing for a Les Paul), my back said thank you. The sustain is against him by a little below, I believe it, but it is not shocking, it is well above my strata, a Parisienne Walkways''''No password impeccable ;-) fatigue special to play with 2-3 hours, so it's cool.
  
  
  
  The quality of manufacture and adjustment of the guitar are delivered impeccable: right race, action perfectly adjusted intonation almost perfect (I quibble) the varnish is very thin, but compared to my Fender Stratocaster (Mexico) I really like the feel Wood''''
  
  
  
  Finishing on the side of the frets is somewhere between''correct''and''good'': I have nothing particular to blame, but even if nothing HOOK, I have a slight discomfort during slide a little sharp ... Nothing serious, no injuries of note and it's really to nitpick!
  
  
  
  For the sound, see next chapter
  
  
  
  So in use, a 7 / 10, my Squier is lighter, easier access (high) ...

  Sounds

  Sounds good, either people like it or not.
  
  
  
  Let me explain: it's been 5-6 years that I play, and after playing on double (gfs EVH), simple (Fender Start MIM deluxe player), I was looking for the powerful dual listed with the aggressive / roots simple: the P90 was an obvious choice!
  
  
  
  I play Blues / Boogie / Rock / Garage for reference Jack White / ZZ Top / Led Zeppelin. I play on various amps (a small Kustom 12 gauge, a Blackstar HT5, a Bogner Alchemist ...) with various effects (TS-like, big muff, wah, vibe).
  
  
  
  the p90 is wonderful, more powerful and aggressive than my strat simple, less round et''warm''my EVH GFS mounted on my old Squier, they are wonderful in rock, punk, garage: a machine to crunch. clean sounds are not to be outdone, the microphone produces attractive serious jazz tunes (by lowering the volume a bit)
  
  
  
  I repeat, but the crunch (very light kind of the intro to the barn,''''a good crunch ACDCien) is really his favorite.
  
  
  
  These P90, however the lack of quality: the level of output! they are quite exclusive, clear sound is of far less flattering than my strat (although turning down the volume, it is playable), I lose so the strat my versatile side to win (which he lacked Start my) personality!
  
  
  
  Note: I have no noise ... but I very rarely venturing on the grounds of the large distortion! I Cordial cables that are doing their taf ...
  
  
  
  a 9 / 10 because it's really the sound I wanted, but it remains exclusive!

  Overall Opinion

  Let me be clear: I always wanted a Gibson, that's a Les Paul or SG, so my opinion is not purely objective.
  
  
  
  Tribute series are a great opportunity for me: price, especially with the P90 (which microphones given my game a few years now seem most suitable for my style) is very attractive and concessions over a standart are very acceptable.
  
  
  
  Before you buy it (without being able to try it, it was a bluff, but with 30 days warranty Thomann, not too many risks ...) I tried a Fender Jim Adkins (semi-hollow tele- body with set neck and 2 P90) and p90 with 3 blues st ... No regrets for my final choice ...
  
  
  
  I've had it one month now, I play every day.
  
  
  
  What I prefer: the crunch of his P90!
  
  
  
  What I like least: the frets that should be a chouille finishing more (it's really to find fault, they are really good ... but not perfect ;-))
  
  
  
  I would do this election? Certainly, but with a slight hesitation with the SG of the same series ...
  
  
  
  I am delighted therefore 8 / 10, it's really good!

  Maxairboue's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Shovel fun!"

  Characteristics

  Gibson USA for the guitar. 2 Micro P90 USA. 2 "pot" tone ". 2 volumes. A 3-position selector.
  
  Channel "Slim" longer than the end of the 50's, type Les Paul Standard 60s.
  
  5 finishes "classics" including The Goldtop (which I missed!)
  
  Fund has rooms (internes!), is lighter and sounds change.
  
  Beautiful antique finish with some signs of wear here and there.
  
  Beautiful Vintage mechanical. The finish on mine is almost perfect. Rosewood fingerboard.

  Utilization

  Handle very good although I have no reference Gibson. The handle slides well and is close to my sound, nothing to do with my Fender Stratocaster. Compromise that I find ideal.
  
  the potentiometer respond well, she has all the characteristics of the Les Paul and is a real plus!

  Sounds

  So there ... but happiness!
  
  The sound on my little CHAMPION 600 are delightful!
  
  The bass are hot and bold, midrange and treble are jazzy flapping drool just right.
  
  The crunch sounds are favored on the bass and clean mids and the treble.
  
  Sounds Blues, Rock, Blues rock to old are super effective.
  
  PS: unlike the first review, and although the forum mentioned his concerns with microphones, I have very little noise (better cable?)

  Overall Opinion

  I've had 10 days and finally I found the sound I was looking for and the compromise of ideal playability. All at a reasonable price.
  
  For the comfort of game it is very subjective, I am always delighted with my Stratocaster Classic Player 60's but the two are so complementary.
  
  For the character and this must be due to both the Les Paul in its P90, I much prefer the Les Paul.
  
  This anachronism (Studio LP released in 1983 with P90 used in 1957) is my best and shovel away.
  
  And at this price (I also have a very good Epiphone ES 335 BB King), it ranks far above in terms of finish Epiphone and many other more expensive Gibson Les Paul)
  
  It is already a collector (I think), so much so that I just ordered 50'S in Goldtop with Humbuckers.

  SlapKid's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Fine achievement, providing essential micro without interference"

  Characteristics

  I've had it a week, honey burst finish splendid. I also recently a faded worn brown, and I did not want the same thing while remaining within the very roots. Have used!
  
  
  
  Accastillage same, ditto wood used, which also alleviates body happiness.
  
  Frets on tribute best finished, almost perfect.
  
  
  
  Electron tribute to the former, not print here or pin connectors. No armor, for that matter but with single coils is not beneficial in practice because this parasite adonf ...
  
  
  
  Very well made, solid feel obvious.
  
  Compared to the faded handle here is less round, the profile is slim type, the difference is clear but not pass from a tele ibanez rg eh we remain in the same feeling.
  
  The faded sounds a bit more direct and stronger vacuum is not looking for the extra mass of the neck profile 50s ...
  
  In the kind of course that's great, plus it's true!

  Utilization

  Physically it's great, Lester Polfus was not a lame do so.
  
  The selector m'enquiquine, Zaur could put it elsewhere, but the original, so I quit.
  
  Access ozégu is standard, I like to have sth in the legs, it's clear that my race row is better to do pirouettes techniques.
  
  
  
  Good sound, yes and no, must adjust the height of the microphones that this story is not too high output.
  
  In fact, Zonta mounted komalépok twice the same so it's far from optimal, but here it is for me to adapt myself to it's original, so respect.

  Sounds

  Good, sound, compared to my rough it faded with a pearl in super serious and less in the middle. In acute is less convincing because quite dry and especially delicate.
  
  So we'll play clean in serious crunch in the middle and distal generous acute, and there is quite frankly a vamp.
  
  Except that the noise breaks all records! Unbelievable but ultimately logical, large coils equal big noise sensors, and microphones are the same as no effect humbucker possible.
  
  Already clean it annoying (much more than the faded micro serious split alone so simple), in a little more crunch (but the game makes it more fair), and lead is the madness!
  
  And this at home on any smooth clean vox AC15 via digitech RP70 rule to ptizoignons noise gate and everything. I dare not imagine the racket in a group situation or worse, live ... Not go!
  
  
  
  Digitech genesis headphones via VT999 Bébert one and I can position myself as I want and the noise almost completely disappears, and the sound is beautiful stereo wow. We can imagine for great quality recordings with this guitar.
  
  
  
  For my taste the sound is too fat bass / clean, well balanced in the middle (but lack of sharpness), and in great big distortion on the treble.
  
  In the middle is great for clean rhythm or gypsy funk, acute by clean I see no cons. The serious distortion is greedy and enjoyable in solo as always defined, and pearl.
  
  
  
  Given the age of the design is very good for pests we were warned eh ...

  Overall Opinion

  I prefer this profile at the faded 50s, he did forget. The satin finish is warm to the skin is nice. This is not the same as the faded, leaving the pores of the wood really breathe, and I prefer.
  
  
  
  Frankly, a great deal at this price, for 80 euros you have the choice between minihumbucker gibson (very smoothly) or virtual p90 DiMarzio, and there is concern over the noise.
  
  As such it holds the record for the loudest guitar I have ever had, even the baja tele regatta not ...
  
  
  
  Looks like it's all or nothing at gigi, the faded is not a parasite and it max.
  
  I wonder how did the jazzmen to support p90 elsewhere.
  
  
  
  I would do without hesitation that choice, a very good deal!
