    Very good scratch

    I have the 2007 version with a simple single pickup, 22 frets, volume tone, big stick. It's made in the USA. Since I use another pulling strings I changed the waparound with a Schaller bridges. Sober finish, I like it but it may surprise.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is very comfortable, easy to play. The weight is ridiculous, very nice. Access to acute is lespauliens. We get a good sound easily, for my part I always down the tone to 6 or 7 story to turn a little loud enough treble.

    SOUNDS

    I play many different styles, both the noisy noise that jazz, or a little more modern music. One would expect that with a single microphone that is very versatile little guitar, but parado…

    SOUNDS

    I play many different styles, both the noisy noise that jazz, or a little more modern music. One would expect that with a single microphone that is very versatile little guitar, but paradoxically it is enough. She transcribed exactly what you play, it will not fix your sound like guitars more upscale, but it transcribes your game perfectly. It gives me enormous interest of this guitar, you hear your game without bonus or alteration.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I played for about 2 to 3 years. Today there is a micro version (my favorite) for only € 250 Cygnus, instead of buying the 2014 version is only erstaz to paul studio I suggest you save € 300 with this version which is very versatile!

    Amazing for the price? Incredible all!

    This is a Gibson U.S. for the price of a Fender Mex. Body and mahogany neck, Kluson Deluxe mechanical. A micro simple enough and loud slamming, you can soften a bit with the knob of tone.

    The neck (glued) is copied from a Les Paul 59, wide thick, comfortable.

    The bridge is on the principle of wraparound, without a guide rope. It's cheap to death and yet it works very well. The action is (slightly) adjusted, intonation is not (at all) adjustable.

    The bridge is on the principle of wraparound, without a guide rope. It's cheap to death and yet it works very well. The action is (slightly) adjusted, intonation is not (at all) adjustable. You do not know what it is that the intonation or what's the point of the set? I assure you I have played guitar for years without knowing it and I do not wear really worse.

    Note that all the electronics on the pickguard is screwed which provides an opportunity for easy upgrade not too expensive: U.S. sellers on ebay offer sets + pickguard pickups that are more than easy to install ... Unscrew the old pickguard screw the new hop and it's over. It is also easy to change the microphone to a humbucker or a P90 kind of the same format, Curtis Novak, Seymour Duncan make excellent (and expensive).

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is one of the best I've had in my hands. The polish glides little. It is like a BIG ax handle. However, I feel terribly comfortable with.

    The body is fine, without cutting, the first time I've had a hands I thought playing on a cutting board. The varnish seems more than fine.

    The guitar is very light and well balanced.

    SOUNDS

    The sound has nothing to do with his gibson classic. Amateurs sounds round and fat gibson HB usual actually buying anything. The sound resembles a vintage telecaster, a danelectro. This is slightly less slamming, can be a bit more presence in the bass, but the universe is not that of the twang and big sound. She has a long sustain and deep, perfect for quiet arpeggios that I love.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I went to a store and try it I got attracted by the price secondhand. As I said earlier I felt like playing with a cutting board on which one would riveted lipstick telecaster. Spent the first two minutes, I could no longer ask. I played with more than three quarters of an hour, the seller (very nice, let me try the three different amps) finally come and ask me "you like it that much?"

    Oh yes, I like it that much. Are found in secondhand 250 euros, the price of a squier midrange. The finish is medium, so she slips / was relic / age / embellishes even faster. The mechanics are excellent. The bridge and electronic models of simplicity and reliability. With the original microphone, it does not sound gibson for two francs, but it is easy to change the microphone.

    For me, this is not a beginner guitar. This is THE guitar for beginners, keep it, play it, cherish it. And also if you want a gibson with a sound different.

    mechanical GIBSON DELUXE with round button and the old white, very classy and are rather good agreement.
    the handle is round and relatively thin.
    the frets are large, jumbo, and the original strings have a strong pull and sound very bright.
    for there is just against a white coating very slight, it was the wood directly under the fingers, no varnish .... it's pretty minimalist but hey, it gives the illusion of vintage! (At least to look at her because it's very modern)
    seen for just the look you feel propelled into the attic of mamy (yes grandma was a rocker and you did not know!)

    everything is very simple but very effective and very good quality for the price

    UTILIZATION

    The guitar is rather thin, round and round the end, everything falls well to hand it a treat.
    access to the treble is very easy because the heel of the neck is fine too.
    it is very light and very easy to control, it does not sting the nose.

    the sound is, you branch, you play, it sounds

    SOUNDS

    I used to play rather rock and blues, and metal in a band with another guitarist (rather neo style, the guitars complement each other well from a very heavy and my focus rather high mid / high)
    I tested with my Flextone III XL (2x75W stereo modeling) in all possible configurations, direct ca pete
    vox a preamp on my lamp, ca pete directly.
    Coming soon to a JCM 900, add a future
    knobs volume and tone are very progressive and there is no loss of sound quality if we reduce the position of the knobs, it gives just a different sound.

    frankly, do not rely on single coil is a big lascard that sticks a big fat bathe without question.
    is honest, direct, ca jumped the guitar, we are half way between the sound and the sound strat dimebucker (with a little imagination).
    the sound is precise and incisive, it's true quality gibson

    OVERALL OPINION

    Received qq days ago, I gets off!
    great look, great sound, more verstile as it sounds.
    I bought a favorite on the internet after watching the video on the site of gibson.
    ok then I could not try it before, but in France it is almost not found then was that or nothing, but the guitar came very well set and no worries cosmetics or electronics.
    this is the first time I play a guitar minimalist, because I am rather subscribe to style guitars LOUIS XV BUFFET (LES PAUL STANDARD, STANDARD SG, Sheraton II, Epiphone Joe Pass with change in any of microphones yum yum! !)
    Well have a raw guitar also feels good!! radical change of mind guaranteed!

    value for money is excellent announced: from 329 euros if you are willing to wait six months, around 600 euros available now on ebay, or directly from the United States (which I did) for a prices ranging from 300 to 400 euros including shipping by airmail.

    I do it again this choice? and how! At that price I bought 10!

    - Details: The handle is completely original set, the action and intonation as well. the frets are well polished. In short, the guitar arrived (purchased by mail) ready to play. on the other hand, side finishing, it is very very "roots" of the coup, I put 5 because when I received it, I was a bit scared so she was "cheap" ...

    UTILIZATION

    - The handle is it fun?
    The handle is very comfortable to play, despite finishing.

    Access to acute is average, slightly better than a folk cutaway.

    - Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
    Super light, form Les Paul: very easy to use.

    - Gets it easy to sound good? ...
    Here, the sound has nothing to do with the finish! It's simple: you immediately feel like playing much better than before. It is precise and dynamic. Nothing to say except that regales: this guitar is aptly nomp! I put 9 just for that!

    Roland Micro Cube + headphone, or Fender Pro Jr., TS9 overdrive and reverb.

    - What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
    For now I play more clean sounds, or a little more crunch. But part distortion, it sure looks like (I'm not a specialist metal ...).

    - What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
    The clean sound is a treat, with punch, a good offense!

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?
    For a month.

    - What is so special that you like most and least?
    The best: the sound and playability

    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?
    I tried some other guitars I have tried an Ibanez (I forget the model), I had a Lag Roxanne Rx100SB (same price around 50 euros, but 1000 times less its side) and j 'I also Epiphone Supernova (Noel Gallagher) that I love but which I intend to change the pickups since I my Melody Maker ...

    - What would you rate the quality / price?
    Very good, really, provided you do not stop at the finish ...

    - With experience, you do again this choice? ...
    Yes! on the other hand I advise anyone who wants to buy it to see a close before, and try, just to get a true idea of ​​this guitar, because it's really a special guitar!

    In short, stick a little too big and round for Aesthetics trs but enjoyable play.
    Access in acute: it is the Les Paul, so no comment and no surprise that cot l.

    The guitar is well tonnament lgre balance. I love his line and its simplicity.
    For the game sitting, she Submitted the same discomfort that Les Paul returned to you a little cot in the ratings of the law. By standing up against, no fear of dboiter a shoulder, it's a pen!

    Cot's:
    This is great! A bit of a mix sound of a Les Paul with P90 quip in a family resemblance to the twang the Tl All of dpend SETTING THE amp and Manir which is play knobs volume and tonality of the guitar.
    It sounds great and the small micro Gibson is simply terrible for efficiency! The highs are high prcis trs on the handle. We see that we are dealing a real guitar (and it's a Gibson!) And not a piece of plywood that is pop! pop! toc!
    Test vrit recording ...

    I put eight because of the small BMOL on the handle

    SOUNDS

    It is well suited my style of Zique, rather rock, pop, blues. But I have no complex mtal rocking riffs and sounds good. With a simple microphone is stunning and there's plenty to blush with metal coils sextuple their turbo.

    I find it makes trs versatile, especially in heavy distortion, small crunch to the sound heavy. She has this little cot and deep fat typical Les Paul.
    A little more typ snapping and "twang" in the clear sounds for which it will further tame the Tone knob.

    I use a V-amp Pro. The rendering is perfect.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 5 guitars and 2 basses,
    Brands Fender, Gibson and Variax, either, enough to make good comparisons. Right now she is my chouchoutte.

    What I love:
    - Its look, its sober its simplicity.
    - The piece of wood cot rudimentary but possde qualitsncessaires to face all the hours of games on scnes or studio.
    - Versatility
    - The price of 329 E
    - The fact that it is a Gibson: I did not do rolls on the cam! it is clear

    What I like least: the roundness of the handle, but stressing that it provides comfort sleeves Gibson (still more accessible and comfortable that my taste Fender)

    You will never find that feeling with another mark. However good you have to like the vintage look ultra cheap. And I love it. I have the white version, which I think is the prettiest. So yes it looks like a piece of wood painted with paint roller but dtrompez you, this guitar is the daemon possde rock.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is really gnial. Although large, it is great in the hand. Me personally I dtest sleeve ends. Access in acute is good but not great. In contrast, o is that happiness is the weight. It pse a feather, it's really super comfortable as well as sitting upright. Lespaul a form with that weight is a rve.

    When empty, it sounds really great and that's what scores the most. How do they stick than a simple sound the same? Only Gibson knows. The handle is really enjoyable to the touch like the rest of the body. Gniale else, the guitar feels wood. It's a great smell of fine wood.

    Finally just as the best, the guitar plugs into an amp ...

    SOUNDS

    So I say hats off. One volume, one Tone ... yes but be careful it's precision worthy of NASA under the hood. The knobs are ultra sensitive and prcis. They rglent to millimtre prs.

    For the clean sound is a sound part. Not a lespaul, not a fender, or other, it's a new world that opens you the world .. a ringtone maker ... rve.

    In the saturated gibson is good sound, more than 40 years of rock ... I dare not m'tendre the top ... sacrilge, do not criticize the exprience gnial gibson ... it is just as hot edged ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this instrument for a month, I can not get enough.

    So yes it can boorish stepfather fate with this painting with a roller, so in some ways a Persoone uninformed might find it cheap. But not this guitar is really a bomb, a bomb gibson. Okay I am MODR I say good either it sounds like a standart lespaul mias ... the price you think the price ...

    They have bones to a price so low, some of the lack of COD or paint and varnish products ... but in this instrument are all products of quality ... this is a scratch and not a real gibson gibson bargain prices.

    I will make this purchase again without hsiter. Better than a Gibson instrument more "pretty" 400 eurso but that sounds like a box of food.

    I said thank you to make the Gibson rve amricain also available.

    Guitar stripped, I took it in white but I admit it's chien.Fan varnishes and fittings slamming, go your way ...

    Deja was empty, we feel that the guitar has a trunk and wrinkling connected, I was even surprised ... but pleasantly

    SOUNDS

    This is a guitar made for the blues, rock, funk and hard limit of 70 years but clearly not for the metal ...

    I played on a Vox AC15, it makes me good.

    The guitar is particluierment a home in the midrange and treble, the sound is very crystalline and very responsive. I love the sound of ...

    It's true that when I put the volume a background and a background tone, the sound I get trop.Mais not suit me as soon as we linger a little more about the two knobs (one single micro but what a sound palette friend !!!), we obtain rtree sounds pleasant.
    We feel that the c Gibson sings ..

    OVERALL OPINION

    I 'lai bought yesterday stroke of luck, he remained one in the store after calling enormously stores (11 in total and not the least ...)

    Jadore its sound, model sounds really differ from a les paul or an SG is a guitar part.

    What about value for money? imbatabble has any point of view.
    As stated in an earlier opinion, is better bought a cheap guitar, finished in hard (as is the case) but with a sound personal, beautiful, beautiful guitar, but rather pleasant-sounding come a stew (and yen a lot !!!).

    This choice I would do without hesitation, buy a pigalle 390 euros is a bargain.
    But for future buyers of this excellent guitar, take your troubles patiently as the average availability is between 3 and 6 months

    I play blues, then the lover of Peter Green! I say Youpie; .. the sound is big and has prcis presence, while the guitar is "toy" with a classic 30 or VOX .. pathfinder 10 .. (^ Arr tones to buy apartment of 100 watts amp!)
    Everything is good and it's frankly an instrument easily set .. PREFERABLY: 10 / 52 are a joke .. but the strings do not RULES height one has a .. and yes logic.
    The handle is a nut "BOUZA" slender, ridiculous, white ceramic, metric .. Yuck yuck! I'll do it again in OS ... With a setting of better quality because it's BOUZA!

    OVERALL OPINION

    She is beautiful, and hides his game. really a must-have guitar and Travel it is clam .. (Not fun ?)...

    I play on Marshall JCM, but I also tried on Vox.
    Nothing to throw in diffrent sound, especially as the knobs are effective trs.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have been using qq months. I have about twenty guitars (mostly Fender, Gibson and Gretsch), 3 Les Paul diffrent: none sounds like this one. The price quality ratio is amazing and the more it looks great (in vintage sunburst). I researched a MM United States of this type (before the reissue do so), because I love this guitar: j'tait prt pay $ 1,500 in vintage stores for acqu RIR, but I have never found. So 400, if you think I'm happy ...

    The microphone is a single coil. It is powerful and play with the tone can go from snapping sounds typical telecaster in a round and warm as we like at Gibson. The microphone is really surprising is really good news! You will not be disappointed.

    UTILIZATION

    Channel pleasant
    Access to the top is not sharp. It is not made for that. This is primarily a rhythm guitar ^ I think I am if you can make good solos on it, of course, but if you do it and if you are looking for a motorway for your games, go your way.
    The ultra light weight .. ca change my LP standard.
    The sound is produced immediately ...

    SOUNDS

    The sound is awesome!
    Both snapping, biting, aggressive, round, hot ... the single coil Works Wonders. The saturated sound tears vraimnt and clear sound is magnificent ... a real favorite. The guitar is fairly versatile little quue one remains between the blues-pop-rock-funk-reggae-etc ... hardrock
    The volume of tone is effective and can play on the nuances.

    Here is a link to my site for audio clips

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a week. I had one before that ç Gibson LP Standard 1992. I played it for 10 years .. Well, slowly the ringtone maker makes me forget.
    It is a real favorite.
    The value is unbeatable. I do not understand that there have no longer the owner of this instrument. Why buy an Epiphone or other Chinese, Mexican? While at the same price you have a Gibson United States. Warning, this is not a low-end Gibson. The materials are good ... gasoline and knowledge are there. And this is obvious when you look at the instrument in detail. It's professional.
    The key is there but the guitar is reduced to simple machine. So that's another state of mind ... sound and just the sound. (Can still look awesome)

    Update: It's been over a month that I have .. and I still love it as much. You can do anything with it .. well almost ..

    OVERALL OPINION

    Purchased on the site DLIR Woodbrass price of 277 euros (I live in Switzerland).
    So +

    - Look, Sounds, price!

    Cons:
    - Can be finishing overall gross rev ... I was fine with me!

    For that price the gtr have a good, sounding and called Gibson ... that you ask for ...

    Gibson Will it produce long??

    Just to say ... I rarely read on the net result of this gtr musicians ...

    APRS qques time ... I would say that this scraper is great but the wraparound bridge is shit ... (Personal opinion). Indeed it does not rgler the accuracy of each string. For my part I have the strings of the R and not that sound just trs (despite a round nickel). So the higher up on the stick and trs and more logically the "injustesse" is heard ... So I'm looking for a solution because I hate (as many) ring true ... Only weak point found for the time. For the rest it's up!
