MGR/Jon Turner « Gibson Les Paul Studio »
Published on 05/27/02 at 15:00 Bought it at Wray's Music shop in Lemoyne, PA USA for $1100 new. You may think I'm stupid, but it was my first guitar. And no, I'm not rich. I just got a job (yay!) and so I bought it with money from the job.
I've played violin for 8 years and so I have musical talent. Of course, violin is really stupid and dorky (no offense to people who like it. Just my opinion) so I wanted something to raise my musical talent further with a whole new variety of genres and at the same time also raise my self-esteem. Guitars are real chick magnets.
I love how it looks. Mine is wine red with chrome hardware. I prefer chrome over gold because I don't think gold and red go well together (another opinion). The wine red is so beautiful. I've looked for tons of guitars, and this is the prettiest.
It also has great detail and just little things that aren't noticeable but are better than cheaper versions.
Tuning is easy. The strings have never broken on me, yet. It's easy to get into high positions. Shiting is so awesome.
The pickups are amazing. They have great sound, and I like the little knobby things. They're pretty. =)
Straps fall off easy. If you take my opinion worth anything, then trust me, you don't want your strap to fall off with a $1100 guitar. Ouch. However, this can be fixed, for only $20. Buy some strap locks.
I can't seem to do barre chords perfectly. But that's just me. I need more practice. I've only had it for 3 hours.
It has mahoghany and maple. I dunno. Read what that other reviewer wrote. He knows. I do know that it's really heavy. Almost as heavy as my bass. Almost.
It also has two humbucker pickups. Humbuckers are really nice.
This guitar is awesome!!! (nothing less)
