MGR/a guitarist who knows what he is talking about
« Gibson Les Paul Classic »
Published on 06/26/04 at 15:00I bought this guitar at a local shop called vintage guitars for $1600. i bought this guitar because i love Gibson. The price I paid was WELL worth the money.
I love this guitar and its practically the only guitar i play out of my guitars. 1st of all the playablity is excellent. The neck is slim and VERY fast and very easy to fret. This guitar is great for fast exciting rock and for great classical pieces also. I play rock and classical guitar on this baby. The pickups are GREAT and give you incredible distortion when you want it. And also it stays in tune for practically forever! When it does go out of tune it BARELY goes out of tune. Anyway I can talk about this guitar forever but I can't.
ABSOLUETLY NONE!
The quality couldn't be better. First of all like all Les Pauls the body is two pieces of wood. The top is carved maple and the back is mahogany. The neck is mahogany and is a 1960s slim taper neck. The fingerboard is rosewood and it has faded pearl trapezoid inlays for a classic look. It has nickel hardware with a hardtail bridge. The neck pickup is a 496R ceramic humbucker which gives the tone plenty definition without feedback lik those aggravating single-coil pickups give. The bridge pickup is a 500T "Super Ceramic" which gives you bone crushing rock with extreme clarity and tone.
If you are interested absoluetly buy this instrument. It well suit you well for all purposes.
