Bought 1/2 year used gear from friend that liked more play bass. Payed about 340$ (but in currency of Poland) including guarantee and guitar case.

Yo! What I like is price. It's really low for some classy guitar like that. Two humbucks really make that climate as known from Jimmy Page or Faith No More's Album of the Year (Jon Hudson) or Kind for a Day (Trey Spruance) - all played on Les Pauls. String keys are great too. But you just must love the low bluessy sound of L.P.
And most of all - the shape and look, it's really great - like a pretty woman.


Humucks and that plastic finger-pod really like to tremble & vibrate on low sounds (string E especially). String height regulation some time lacks of freedom (known from Fenders like, but I hate Fender ;P). There's no serious disadventages of this gear... maybe "Handcrafted in Corea" could scary somebody.

Gear is middle heave but solid. The quiality of wood impress me much. Fingerboard woor (dark one) is for me solid bould and will last long time.
Freets catched some brown dots... could be made from rustless (stainless) metal.
String keys are really great (silver ones). I hate the plastic ones selled now with Les Pauls. Humbucs give quite satysfying low sound (as I wish) but all electrics could be more noise-free (but it's only 340$)

It's great gear for beggining playing blues, jazz or low overdrived grunge, metal.
You love Faith No More or some jazz mild guitar sound - try this guitar, you'll find a music soul in this gear, I'll love the feeling you touch it...
(Sorry for my English - I am Polish ;P)
