22 frets
Gibson pickups (I have changed xD): a classic 57 '(neck) and a classic 57' + (bridge)
Set neck
2 volumes and 2 tones
A 3-position selector

UTILIZATION

The handle fits me very well and is not very big and fast enough (of course stratum 'is sole mistress)
With a Les Paul, the shape of the table does not favor access to acute (compared to the PRS Hollowbody I Maccarty (my favorite of all the guitars)). However, I rarely plays solos after the box 19 so it suits me like that.
Weight level is satisfactory (3h Repeat '(ie standing) and no shoulder pain)
To get the sound you want, not need to be a pro at Grat '. Sound for the rhythm you put the selector on the pace or two and for good distortion and solos, treble selector (and the fact that I find)

SOUNDS

I play mainly Pop / Rock with my microphone so it suits me very well. It's a very clean and powerful.
I plugged into a Marshall AVT50 (I had not loved, I loved a DSL201). It's a hybrid amp (tube preamp, the rest in transistors) so it sounds good without impurities (of course with a mesa it would hearts total)
I play 90% on the bridge pickups (classic 57 '+ so) and assaying much gain and bass / middle / treble of the amp I can approach the desired sound.
I added an effects pedal (Delay, Tremolo, Chorus, Phaser ...) and yes it is much improved sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in August 2005 and aged well
I first chose to form (LP) and its rock sound
Price / quality ratio is very good well what lost its value (but I do not intend to get rid of)
This is my first Grat 'power so when I bought it I did not have a huge budget and my knowledge was not huge. Faced with a gibson I find it ridiculous at all so I probably do it again this choice.
