This is Gibson, so it's amricain. In addition, this model as a Custom one can be sr provenance of the instrument ... you can almost smell the cigar Uncle Sam in tui .. . I who am not a pro-amricain, the wolf I shot my. But, the finishing work is very flavou this Les Paul Custom 1990 I focus on the year of manufacture of the beast, insisting on the fact that date year 1990 and not 2000. Indeed, it appears that the 2000 Custom t have a little bcles as finishing and sound quality of the instrument ... but nevermind.
So of course, is equipped with two humbuckers Gibson 498T and 490R, its old Tune o matic bridge and its 4 knobs (volume and tonality for each pickup).
The body is mahogany, and that's for sure, this wood is not the most lgers. Thus the instrument weighs 4.8 kgs so his (roughly the equivalent of a low), but you get used to very quickly, and that's including the Dtail that offers Les Paul Custom all their heat in sonorits ... but we'll get.



USE

To the question "Is the handle for a pleasant stratophile or tlphage Fender?", We can, I think, respond by ngative. For a very fast follower sleeves Ibanez, this is not the panacea. It's all a matter of habit.
For attention, I did not say either that Gibson was making only good innings bcherons play punk rhythms. Indeed, the handle me right away sembl very pleasant in the bass, mdiums, and treble. I was yet accustomed to playing on an Ibanez John Petrucci handle 24 cases, and all that stuff ... and the handle of the Les Paul seemed even more enjoyable (I protects me jets stone, but this is only my opinion)!
This is a guitar and renames easy to see why: the game, as rhythmic solos, is very pleasant.



SONORITS

I use it to play jazz, blues, rock, funk, and many other styles. This is my guitar of reference. I think it excels in all styles, both clean sounds that saturs.
The neck pickup gives us its clear sound very dry, and its saturated powerful sound very rich in harmonics, the middle position gives us a clear sound perfect combination of the two single coils of neck and bridge pickups and the neck pickup is ideal for jazz and blues. Let us add that the sustain is incredibly long and that each sound is a veritable dlice the listening (when your amp is rgl of course).
I brought out in the clear on my SR Technology Jam 150 (which I also use for my banjo, psaltery, and my electroacoustic guitar), and will provide me with a bientt Vox Tonelab LE to exploit saturs sounds and effects. I played before on a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe.



NOTICE GLOBAL

I possde this guitar (which is precisely this qi is the same picture on the description of the model) since 2006 and I still fall in love every time I take it out of its tui and I play ... well, I combl. In addition, this guitar is of extraordinary beauty (especially when you love dgrads sunburst and fittings sleep).
Only BMOL, Gibson does not really know how in the low-cost or discount. When we want a Les Paul in quality (who is a Custom), and that is fed up with Epiphone model, we must break the bank and 1800-2000 to find the luxury of poss der a Les Paul Custom built in those years l. I'm not talking about antrieurs models, including 70 years, which have become vritables collection instruments.
That said, the Les Paul has its own personality that does not suit everyone. Aisni, it is better to try and be sr of his choice before acqurir.
