MGR/Jason Dearing « Gibson Les Paul Classic »
Published on 12/01/01 at 15:00I bought this guitar from American Musical Supply
$1399.99
I like the neck and the finish on this guitar the most. The neck is the 1960 profile neck. the finish is honeyburst
I really do not like the pickups. I haven't a clue why gibson puts high output pickups in a classic guitar such as this. I would prefer covered humbuckers with maybe the 57 classic series. I am gonna switch these out for duncan classic covers 59 models neck and bridge.
the construction is awesome for a 1400.00 les paul I mean I can't see paying 500.00 more for the standard just for pickups. Plus I hate the neck profile on the standard. My favorite is the slim taper. The hardware is top rate. I might add a tonepro's bridge stopbar tailpiece unit to make it more stable.
I like the guitar basically the way it came except for the pickups and I also added straplocks this guitar is typical for a les paul. I am tired of people complaining about les pauls wieght I mean its a les paul its always been this way either play one or play something else bottom line! Great Guitar.
