« Gibson Les Paul »

Gibson Les Paul, first appeared in 1952. Designed by a guitarist whose name is printed on the guitar. Previously using a single coil pickup, but in 1957 was replaced by a humbucker. There are various types such as the Gibson Les Paul Junior, Gibson Les Paul Special, Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, and his friends, but the most frequently used (and certainly the most famous) is a Gibson Les Paul Standard and Gibson Les Paul Custom.


The design of this guitar is actually included normal, but highlight the impression of classical and blues on our performance in my opinion. If at first glance in terms of color, for Guitar Gibson Les Paul original, wrapped in brown wood with grooves on the body who showed classic impression. This guitar uses solid body (which was originally made of mahogany) because the les paul wanted this guitar has sustain 20 seconds. Of course, for wearing the solid body, making this guitar almost 2 times heavier than the guitar in general. There are two humbucker pickup selector switch with three controllers plus two volumes and two tone controls.

There's another hallmark of this guitar, ie the distance between the fingerboard and frets are small, it is easier for us to play fast and melodic melodies that require long range. It has side effects, namely those who fingered big bit difficult to use ... I use this guitar and was lucky I did not see a significant constraint because my finger 'tapering' hahaha.



The design of this guitar may be plain indeed, but the results sound issued truly remarkable in my opinion. Sustain a long a hallmark of this guitar. The combination of solid construction with high beroutput pickup makes it perfect for high-gain sound that has long distorted and shrill-toot (maybe this is the reason why this guitar is the most sought after by melodian, including me ^_^). Adjectives that might describe the sound output Gibson Les Paul guitar might like this: singing, ringing, stinging, swinging, and 'gunslinging' hehe. This makes the guitar Gibson Les Paul as my first favorite guitar as a melodian.

My history as musician:
well i don't have much to say, i just an ordinary man who loves playing guitar. Sometimes i perform on the stage but it doesn't my real job. I have playing music for 6 years, and guitar 3 years. my friend say i've got some talent but i think it maybe because i just frequently training.
I play guitar and i am a melodian. i love classic rock so much but sometimes i playing from pop until metal hehe

hmm... i don't buy it. i just sometimes go to music store and try to play guitar. but i can make this review because i sometimes borrow it from my friend and use it for perform. well i am not a rich man haha
