MGR/Jonas « Gibson Les Paul Classic »
Published on 12/09/02 at 15:00Purchase: I Purchased My Les Paul Classic, through Musicians Friend, New for $1,233.00
Likes: haven't played to many Guitars, other than my 70s Classic Strat, Which I feel has a good sound, and plays easy. My Gibson LP is simply awesome, I Play it on my Fender Hot Rod Deville 4/10s. Its the epitome, of a Fat Worm tone, with a surplus of sustain.With the 496R at the Neck, and 500T for the Bridge, It doesn't seem to matter, what fret and or string, The Notes Cut very deep. No Crapping out in this department. I Found that the 60s Slim Taper Neck, improved my speed and timing, as compared to the strat. My LP is Ebony with Cream trim, and Gold hard ware. The fit and finish is simply stunning.
Dislikes: I got to tell you, This Guitar need's a good wiping down,after each cession, per the Ebony finish. My problem I'm just used to my Strat, it has the solid Ash body with Wood Grain finish, normal handling marks don't show up. But No Strap Locks, A Gibson LP with No strap locks. It sounds like a small Nit Picking detail, put it's the first thing it did, with my LP. Hellow is any one Home,enough said. The set up was terrible at best, I'm no Luther by any stretch,but the action was so high, the Bridge Humbucker was practically all the way out. But with the Tune-O-Matic Bridge, I was able to make the necessary adjustments to my liking in short order,unlike my Strat.
Quality: Gibson has build a reputation for producing a quality Guitar. I hope they don't louse site of what got them their,for the Strap Locks and Set/Up. I was very surprised I had to deal with such miner details, the very details I expected from Gibson.
In summary: Hay what can I say, It's a Gibson Les Paul. As far as the Set/Up and Strap locks. I expected more from Gibson.
