UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice when you get used to.
Weight, you get used to.
Access to acute is not easier but it's still acceptable. The beauty of the guitar more than justifies this small effort.
Gets it easy to sound good? I hope you're joking!

SOUNDS

It is suitable for all styles of music except maybe the funk but it's still possible. After it is mostly a matter of taste. The Les Paul is the fat sound.
The pickups are very important, but what struck me was the first time, this is the sound balance, all frequencies are parts, which is surprising because the Les Paul is best known for its crunch and midrange tape has the eye. The "percussive" appearance as with the rather massive body. Large natural bass and crisp highs mediums quite unlike the present strat which is carved into the midrange (I say may be bullshit but it ' is felt).
I play a Marshall.
I find it pathetic that make the big metal with this guitar (and I love the Metal).

OVERALL OPINION

What's more, that has not already been said about this absolute legend amplified music.
Still need to find the right one!
All Les Paul is not the same and always eventually find one that will make the difference.
Of course a Les Paul will be the grain of a Les Paul but some have a little something extra, a personality, a life.
Mine disappoints me a little, it lacks character. I know this is what I want but I'm still looking MA Les Paul. On the whole I am satisfied of course, I have the grain, but it is I did all that, it does nothing, like wow! (For my Marshall against him, it compensates)
What I like least: the lifts.
The quality / price? As I often say, compare the price of a high end guitar with the price of any used car and you have my opinion on the matter. Guitars, it's cheap. There are some who start a credit of 10 years for a class car, it is a choice.
And as my grandfather: "Dude, it's better."
