MGR/Dennis T. Norton, Jr. « Gibson Les Paul Standard »
Published on 02/15/02 at 15:00When I first started playing guitar I started out with a cheap acoustic. I learned the fundamentals and then I was ready to get an electric guitar. Before purchasing an electric guitar I researched what it was I thought I needed. I started off by looking at my guitar idols. From there I looked at how well electric guitars hold their value and which ones hold their value the best. After I narrowed it down to two types of guitars, I went and played only those two types of guitars. In the end I decided to buy the Gibson Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar. I bought it from Sam Ash and paid $1,786.20 for a beautiful cherry sunburst Les Paul.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard has an incredible sound. Whether you play the blues, rock, or even metal, you can get the sound you want from this guitar. I personally like playing blues and rock, and the sound I get from my Les Paul beats out any other guitar I've played. The humbuckers allow for that thick, rich sound that is often heard when playing blues. I must admit, the Les Paul looks very cool, too!
I can't say that there is really anything that I dislike about my Les Paul. If you don't like a heavy guitar while playing on stage then this guitar might not be for you cause it is a little heavy.
The construction and quality of the Gibson Les Paul is wonderful. You have a solid body which brings out a unique sound. There are two alnico humbuckers which are the power house of the great sound that comes out of this guitar. The tone and volume knobs are gold and the tuning pegs are chrome. My Les Paul is cherry sunburst which looks great.
All in all the Gibson Les Paul Standard electric guitar is the definition of greatness. You can achieve many great sounds from this guitar. If you are looking for quality and great sound, then I would definitly suggest picking up a Les Paul.
