This guitar is made in the United States, in Nashville.
It has 22 frets and two humbuckers (bridge and neck). My guitar from 1995, it is still equipped with another type of micro today. (Change from 2002) Do not ask me the difference my dear friends, I can not answer you.
Bridge Tone-o-matic, 4 knobs (1 tone and 1 volume micro)
Set neck with a button in palisandre. Inserts in the shape of trapezoids nacre.

The finish of this guitar hands down deserves a 10.

UTILIZATION

So many people say that the handle of a Les Paul is limited log, or you still have to admit that the playability is great. Despite not very easy access to acute handle is quite fast. There's watching Kirk Hammet (Metallica), he comes well ... him!
The weight is considerable but it is now known so I do Aprende nothing.
Sound, then there ... acccrochez you. Warm-air, in the bluezy pitcher and the big sound in full. We're in heaven with an instrument of this type! So in summary, to get a sound like this, there is that Mr. Gibson can do ...
I put a 9 because access to acute is not ideal.

SOUNDS

I started playing Metallica, then I discovered the blues and I also play lots of rock style ACDC, Black Sabbath etc. ... and I can say that over the last 10 years I found a perfect companion .
I play with a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and it's great. I'm also on modeling amps like the AD30VT (VOX) and I made my debut in lamps with special valve (EPIPHONE). In fact, it sounds good on all the amps or less correct. On HOT ROD, it is nevertheless still a step up. The bridge pickup is a little too aggressive for my taste but treble the neck pickup is extremely warm.
I put a 10 property willingly.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 1995. I bought it new and ebony (black painted). At that time the price was about € 1500 but now ... I do not esay many other models before, because the distinction of being left handed is that you got "a lot choice "... especially 10 years ago. So I tried it, I had the budget and I bought it. I do not part with it because when you buy an instrument of this quality is that he accompanies us throughout our lives. The price / quality ratio (at the time) was quite correct. Today, we must admit that this is not given to everyone to realize a dream ...
However, I will make the same choice if I had to pick a guitar today.
I put in 10 because there is no 9.5 ... and you, if you have the budget, do not hesitate because you will not be disappointed ... muscicien word!
