Published on 12/02/03 at 15:00Les Paul Standard, Tobacco Sunburst
purchased at Alto Music, Suffern NY $812 in 1985.
I needed a guitar with balls (heavy/hard rock) and wanted a reliable brand and Jimmy Page was a factor as well.
Sound, fret-work, seperate volume and tone knobs, no tremolo bar, solid.
Tuners we're a little weak, in fact one broke, since then I replaced it with Grovers.
Over the years I got more picky about my tone so I replaced the pickup with a Dimarzio FRED.
Excellent, solid (even after falling over a couple of times).
Reinforces the notion that you get what you pay for. Best guitar I ever owned. Recommend to anyone looking for humbucker/'fatter' sound.
