The basis of good cete guitar is known architects. I résumé:
It is a Les Paul Standart therefore makes the USD.
- The back of the guitar is mahogany.
- Channel 22 junction boxes with the 16th. Channel 50 rounded type al (Obviously) mahogany. The frets are large (fawn Gibson). Bonus LTD version, the key is ebony and there is a white binding on the head (fawn LP Custom but without the edging).
- The table is in AA flamed maple (or even AAA (see the photo in my profile)) and the microphones are Burstbucker pro.
Like all Gibson (electric), prvoir the workout in order to play more than 30 minutes without calling an ambulance ....
As always with Gibson yet, plan to change the belt clip by real strap lock (could take close to 4.5 kg of happiness on the feet). Exceptionally, the mechanisms of origin are not bad.

Pacific reef blue finish for mine: A fall ............

UTILIZATION

The neck is a joy. A real pickaxe handle Fawn Gibson: well known. We like it or not (amateur Ibanez & Company => oust, pass your way soon), I love. It is a rounded handle 50 very comfortable. The ebony fingerboard, beautiful, soft touch yet (compared to the Rosewood). For access to acute, ca is a Les Paul (no more, no less): I fits me very well but I feel that Satriani would moan a little
Ca for ergonomics is also a Les Paul: From Heavy (1 Lespaul Parker = 2 and a half) it must not be far ....... But hey if it sounds the same, the weight of the beast's gotta do something so I forgive him. For the balance, no problem: no comment.
For good sound, you just plug into an amplifier that's all.

SOUNDS

Ideal for blues and big sound: like Knopfler, G Moore, etc. .... See the very big sound (depending on the amp).
Personal I use a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe via a Maxon OD 808 and a compressor Electro Harmonyx Black Finger: From integral happiness. I especially like the bridge pickup. With the Tone to 7, it's amazing (cromoisie heat in the amp with a formidable precision ...)
I guess in a good Mesa or Marshall, the sound must also be very good (especially for large saturations). In short, the large round well, with the inimitable warm grain Gibson. Therefore not very versatile but buy you one for an LP versatility ?????
In my opinion, thanks to microphones and ebony fingerboard, the sound is between an LP and an LP Custom Standart (LP Custom rather to the way).

OVERALL OPINION

A price for a guitar elite elite .... It's true it's very expensive but it's also an outstanding guitar. The PRS (and others) are rowing a moment to try to get a sound like a Les Paul by far. And that's even more.

I'll spare you the comments on The Paul gnral (weight, aesthetics gnrale (tastes and colors ...), etc. ....). There are even the stupid usual brand (very small belt clip that will not take very long strap, quality chrome caps microphones that will soon shoot up (about 2-3 months, 4 if you are really maniac of a soft pleasant surprise ....). At the radius, the mechanisms are better than usually found on the LP (in Mecas plastoc greenish: FRO).

If you already have a guitar goes everywhere very versatile, it's a guitar has an emergency (if you are good friends with your banker of course).

Personally, I might look a LP Custom and I have this guitar Discoveries closest to her really at (the price down). I flash on that beautiful. So of course I would do that choice ....
Voilou.
