MGR/Karn Prasonkpol « Gibson Les Paul Classic »
Published on 05/21/02 at 15:00Got this one as a brand new at Triumps music, Syney. Paid for $AUD 3500.
I always wanted one but never'd had a chance. My first guitar is a korean -made cheappie Les Paul which actually has a nice action but lacks of tone and the heaviness of the real one. My classic is in cherry sunburst and I have to say the craftmanship is fantastic, plays like dream and the feeling of the neck is perfect! Well, many dudes may prefer the standard neck but the slim taperred is in my business. I can play really fast on it. The rose wood fret board is nice and fill up the tone of the guitar superbly well.
I tried the Garry Moore LP before I made up my mind. It looks nice but the neck....fatty!! I like the sounds of GM LP but I wanna mention here that the work piece is not tidy. Some points on the neck and between the joint of body and neck. Then I tried out the classic and in just ten mins, I paid it out of the shop.
The locking system comes with the case sucks!!! I couldn't get it open when I got home!! Dammitt....ended up with screw driver. I'm gonna complain this with the Gibson guys on their web site but I wouldn't expect much as it happenned with my mate before. Another thing is the pick ups are too hot for my little vavle amp so I got them swop with seymoure duncan.
Construction is superb. It is expertly put together and it has all the tones I ever thought for. It's a real workhorse.
They should take the locking system out of the case. .....real pain. But I'll give the guitar 5 out of 5. This is the one that I'll definitely keep it forever.
