All user reviews of 5/5 for the Gibson Les Paul Studio '60s Tribute

Gibson Limited Edition Made in Nashville, United States.
Bridge classic LP.
Channel 60's strong, which differentiates it from the limited edition 50's equipped with a pickaxe handle!
22 frets, 2 P90 pickups.
2 volume knobs and 2 tone.

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice to my hand, not as big C handles some guitar.
Guitar very light for a LP (chambered solid body). Access to acute perfect.
Its very warm.

SOUNDS

The sound is well suited to my practice blues / rock. So far, I played rather Fender, but then I'm amazed. The sound is very hot, even in the neck position. Perfect for blues and rock.
Plugged into my Hot Rod Deluxe with a few distortion pedals (or Jacques OCD) is the greatest happiness!
All positions selector can be used.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one week then. For years, I was looking for a Gibson LP that does not cost me € 2500, which sounds and which takes the agreement. Here I have used! Quality / price ratio for those who love great blues and rock a little vintage. Not ideal if you love metal on the other hand.
It really comes fully complete my range (Start, Telecaster, Sheraton).
With experience, this choice I would do without hesitation.
What I like most: sound, look very nice, light weight for an LP, the price, the handle
What I like least: I'm still looking ...

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

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.

What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Stop bar

How many frets?
23

What type of microphones?
the p-90

Settings
2 volumes (one for mic) and 2 tones (1 micro) and a 3 position selector (neck, hybrid bridge)

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?
Yes, a real highway notes.

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Yes! I have often heard that the nickname of Les Paul is "The Log" ie "the log" because of its weight. For my part too agree on this point here. I have an epiphone sheraton example which is much heavier.

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
Not especially. I think that's where all the LP

Do you get a good sound easy? ...
Yes! Epu a particular sound (P-90 single coil so) but oh so effective.

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music
Yes! It is ideal to play rock. It may be not only suitable for metal, but it's not my problem.

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Mainly amp simulator.

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
One week

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Excellent, at 800 € a Gibson with P-90, I'm very satisfied

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Yes yes and yes again!
