« Gibson Les Paul Classic »

Bought new at Ramus musik in Lulea, Sweden. Used to be 23 000 SEK but because of the inflation in the US, the price was lowered to 14 495 SEK. And THAT is the definition of a bargain! You could say it was as if a 2300 USD guitar was lowered to around 1500 USD.

Absolutely everything. There's nothing whatsoever that I can complain about. The tone, the look, the finish.. Hell, even the tuning pegs are wholly to my liking.

Well, there is one thing. I don't like the "1960" imprint on the pick guard. But that's just a minor aestetichal detail.

Pure high-quality gear. It's as if this guitar is some part of the master plan of God himself. And I'm an aetheist! The finsih is beutiful, the inlays are close to perfected and I could probably, were it not for the limited life-span of human beings, go on forever about how great this guitar is!

This is, without doubt, the greatest guitar I've ever played. Though my life is but a passing sneeze in the Universe, the magic of The Les Paul is eternal.
