«  my first Les Paul (maybe not the last but the first of a lifetime) »

Published on 11/12/12 at 07:35
USA, then flattened handle sixties (not all need comfort compared to a D-handle in my opinion)
Alnico pickups Burstbucker V home with my gear that does not sound good in the treble ... therefore replaced since 2010 by EMG 81/85. Big difference in sound, I have appreciated the active pickups, but I will one day return to passive types seymour duncan (signature slash when the wallet will be filled ...?)

UTILIZATION

heavy enough (happens when you are young)
nice handle, flattened C (no real difference with the handle of the 50s when it was normally sized hands ... access to acute stays hot, as on most les paul)

its much better obtained with EMG active alnico V magnets with the original ... purists must hate me ...

SOUNDS

is quite Shredd, this is not the best suited for fast picking (and no floyd ...), but being a fan of Slash, no worries for the rest

cristllin his medium with a lot of plain, fat with a lot of sustain in saturation (thank you EMG)

OVERALL OPINION

since 2005

bugjet limited at the time, I could buy more expensive model but I am very happy lightburst color is beautiful.

The +: I have a gibson les paul since I was 15! comfort, sustain ...

the -: I love the ebony keys, as the custom, which is not the case here (rosewood)

never asked to redo choice or not ... a first les paul, it's worth what it's worth
