SOUNDS
This guitar features two humbucker pickups two volume control knobs and two tone control knobs. Your have a general pick up selector that selects one of the two pickups or to select the inventory between position of the pick ups. At first features it's pretty basic and there's no added boosts or coil splitting in this guitar.
These guitars matches very well with Marshall amplifiers. They were great with the Marshall plexi or Marshall JCM 800 type circuit amplifier. Something between those amplifiers and these guitars just match very well. Use it with some delay or some other modulation effect and you can just great hard rock and metal tones. The wood of this guitar is primarily based with mahogany wood as the body in mahogany wood and in the neck. On top of the fretboard you have a rosewood fretboard which balances out the tones at this guitar very nicely. The maple top is another highlight to this guitar's tone. Overall to great sounding guitar and definitely one of the most heavily used guitars and all of music.
OVERALL OPINION
You could find these guitars do for right around $2700 which is a great price for a great sounding American Gibson Les Paul. It's a fun guitar anniversary guitar great for gigging or recording. There's nothing like a Gibson Les Paul and there's really no other guitar that sounds quite like this guitar or instrument.
