Published on 11/28/11 at 11:33I have always been a fan at the Gibson Les Paul guitars primarily because they had a great sound and a thickness that is very pleasing to my ears. They have a great feel and tone that is able to be extremely versatile for pretty much any style of music. The Orville Les Paul is basically just a Japanese made Gibson Les Paul. You can get basically the exact same tone and feel and pretty much all the exact same features as you would eat at American-built Gibson Les Paul guitar.
UTILIZATION
As you features with Les Paul guitars the features are basically the same. The body shape is cut exactly the same from the features to the tone. The pick ups are pretty much all the same as well as the volume control knobs and tone control knobs. It has a the pickup selector on the top and to humbuckers installed in at the bridge and in the next position. The Japanese built guitars are pretty well crafted instruments. There's a feel quality to them that is very close to the American-built Gibson Les Paul. Even though this is a knock off instrument it still has that feel and tone that you would get from a regular Gibson Les Paul guitar.
SOUNDS
If either play to Gibson Les Paul guitar then you know exactly the sound and feel that you would get with this instrument. You get a thick and warm mahogany based tone that is very conducive to you high gain pedals or high gain amplifiers. Overall the sound feel and balance of this instrument rivals very close to her traditional American Gibson Les Paul guitar. It is good to be a budget friendly instruments so if you're not in the market for the expensive version of the Les Paul from Gibson and I suggest going with this guitar.
OVERALL OPINION
These guitars are primarily based out of the Japanese market today can be a little harder to find over in Europe and in the United States. However, if you can locate one the nearest good alternative to the higher priced American Gibson Les Paul instruments. These are fun guitars to play and there are great players in Schmidt from gigging or recording.
