Voil ending for four years I possde a gibson les paul, which are mounted on the 498T and 490R. In beginners, j'tais really: the guitar seemed trs perfomance but I wanted to change the pickups, so they struck me as cis poor (I had to climb another skyscraper a super distortion and paf pro for which I still have a boundless admiration, which explains my dception vis - vis those cis). In short, I had never used the les paul in concert because I play in a group of death and the sound did not match my expectations. Then I realized that the guy who sold me the instrument was rgl trs down the 498T, I hastened to go and I fell on my chair: the sound is g nial. Versatile, more importantly: I use it for death metal riffs / jazz the cynic, everything is there: clarity smooth grain. It is even possible to solo without piercing the eardrums with other musicians, like the tone-zone! I do not know the price, I think it is quite expensive. But I do not think about change, because it provides all the sudden death of the great jazz softer, use the volume knob to draw in a wide range of sound.
For another skyscraper, I do not know if I will take this microphone I prfre test its possible plutt as a stand alone, but I recommend the 498T anyone has not yet !
