Published on 09/12/11 at 21:04The Gibson Les Paul is a great guitar that has a great feeling and just an absolute iconic look. So Mini guitar makers and manufactures today have taken what Les Paul did back in the 50s and use it as their influence to build their modern guitars. So many guitar makers just flat out copy these guitars because are so widely used in extremely versatile. These are the kind guitars I discussed it in pretty much any style of music out there. They're very transcendent and they have just a great voice and tone and overall feel for any guitar player out there. They have a good way to them if you like a heavy thick mahogany guitar. They're going to be very warm and very soothing when you have a good overdriving amplifier . These are such beautiful feeling and sounding guitars.
UTILIZATION
These are the kind of guitars that you wish you could start it out playing the guitar with. If you were lucky enough to have a Gibson Les Paul when you first started the guitar chances are you're probably still playing the electric guitar. Anyone who got the opportunity to pick up this kind of guitar when they first started playing probably had the right element in the right tools to use to help get them going in their guitar playing career. And if you didn't continue that career then shame on you because this is a great guitar. Overall the feeling and tone of this guitar is unmatched in any area.
SOUNDS
They are very easy to dial in and you have two volume control knobs into tone control knobs. You also have a pick up selector that will allow you to pick up a bridge pick up for the neck pick up. This is a pretty easy guitar to figure out and you just basically turn your tone control knobs all the way up and you turn your volume controls all the way up. If you want to get the sound of switching a guitar on and off then you would turn the neck pick up volume down all the way and use your click pick up selector to flick it up and down to get a cool jolting type of sound. Van Halen also used a Gibson Les Paul to get some of his recording tones. If you've ever heard the song hot for teacher then you know that the intro was played problem on a Gibson Les Paul and using the two pick ups and rolling the volume control knob down to get a clean town and having the other control all the way up. See you get over driving test. This was good when Eddie Van Halen used to switch quickly from a clean too hot rotted overdriven distortion tone.
These guitars match very well with the Marshall amplifier. It's like that you were made for each other even know they were built on different continents. They have a great chemistry and by far have the best sound in buying any guitar to any guitar amplifier. Again this is my opinion and I generally lean towards hard rock and metal tones so the mix between a Gibson Les Paul and Marshall amplifier is really right up my alley.
OVERALL OPINION
I highly recommend this guitar to anyone looking to step up to one of the best guitars ever been created. It has a great feeling a great tone that matches pretty much any style of music. It's good to be a warm and sick fat sounding tone that will get you a great classic rock tone and modern rock tone. You can find these guitars pretty easily on the used market so I would go there first if you're on a budget.
