Gibson Les Paul DC Lite ... DC for the double indentation Lite for light weight.
Channel 24 cases acajour key rosewood (very Zouli on mine).
Mahogany body with flamed maple table or tabby grade AA or AAA ..
The body is hollow around a central beam in the continuity of the set neck Gibson. This could even allow the gills like violin as the Florentine model.
Tune O Matic classic Gibson.
One volume, one tone and selector knobs close due to DC ..

UTILIZATION

Handle fairly large flat key, but not very thick and very comfortable to play, despite the jumbo frets.
Easy access to high-pitched despite the small width of the boxes last pitch scale forces.
Well balanced and above all a very nice weight for its lightness that does not mean it takes a pretty natural grain. When we wore LesPaul standart and back into sauce, it's happiness.
Sounds are in line with Gibson with clarity in the mids a little more pronounced than on the LP versions such anvil.
I do not put that because of 9 micro switch behind the bridge

SOUNDS

For sounds, the problem was quickly resolved. It sounds clear with the spirit Gibson on anything you want, just change the pickups. In my case, it's gone on EMG85 and it sounds like the crystal of St. Louis ..
Very delicate in the clear, it becomes pétante and snapping with a nice distortion on a good amp. Its half-hollow body gives it a versatility very interesting. Jazz fusion and heavy, it can do many things. Marshall or Mesa on through Rivera, she surprised more than one ...

OVERALL OPINION

2 years at home.
What I like most: his weight, clarity warm, her look (especially since the color Ivory EMG), and its dynamics.
What I like least: selector not easily accessible in a rapid change, the fixed bridge (thing resolved recently with a Schaller Assembly Tremolo LP)
The value for money is quite reasonable, especially compared to the Les Paul in general.
And yes, if I had the choice again, I would do .... (Besides, I wonder if ... but of gluttony)
