    Gibson The PaulPublished on 07/02/06 at 00:39
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    This guitar was marketed in France beginners 2000s. US-made it all the CHARACTERISTICS of a LES PAUL MODEL. To save on the cost of the body is mahogany, thin enough and the buttons are rglage bell-shaped, slightly smaller than the high-end LES PAUL. By the microphones seems to be against the same as a LES PAUL CUSTOM, caching and less. With the handle it is in GIBSON, wide enough to put a little complicated agreements. The frets are a little thinner than what I know on other guitars of this brand a little older, but not Gnant. Overall CHARACTERISTICS gnrale t tudies have to offer a reasonable price given that the same high-end guitar. The whole is homogne close to excellence.

Overall CHARACTERISTICS gnrale t tudies have to offer a reasonable price given that the same high-end guitar. The whole is homogne close to excellence.

    UTILIZATION

    Lgret the fact that this guitar is an instrument of scne. We can move with. The handle is great, it allows a few errors in placement without rings false. Having no double notches, Access in acute is not the top of what is available on market but how many guitarists play rgulirement on 22 nd, 23 th and 24 th box, I do not know much. The sound as it is exactly the same as on a LES PAUL CUSTOM. Ms. branch not this guitar sounds of hell, I think the strings are mounted are for many, I put on Ernie Ball 11-48 is adapted for pulling this instrument and we just play in any style.

    SOUNDS

    Whether Jazz in picking Knopfler (intermdiaire position) in Hard Rock and even in gnrale FUNK is excellence. What's more, when it trs trs good there is no write much.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this guitar for 5 years, lgret the fact that we can win easily with either, its outstanding sound can compete with guitars much Chres. I have other GIBSON and FENDER, with all my guitars I think it's the one with the best qualitprix, I had bought a little under 1000 euro (c'tait still francs the era) now if we rfre the hill I see that it is an instrument that has hardly lost its original value. Ah! The United States is a quality GIBSON rel investment, so I like this instrument that offers the same sound that a guitar three times CHRE, I bought one in a deuxime color diffrent I leave granted in open tuning of r which allows me to play some blues with the right sound.

    See other opinion, nothing to add

    UTILIZATION

    I find it a bit heavy, but a nice look to the old
    Very nice sound, very versatile

    SOUNDS

    Its low in fat, and quite clear in the treble. But it's not a Start of course

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought mine in 1979 at age 13. I wanted a Start (a dream) and a guitar more 'jazz' to compensate. The Paul's had just come out and I've made the recommended.
    But ultimately it is this that I found most pleasant to use (stratum 79 was finally a real heavy m. ... hyper, I sold it in 2003 with a torn old avid gratis ).
    I am more touched this guitar for almost 20 years! In 2003 I tried to sell it on Ebay for 800 euros, not a sing…

    I am more touched this guitar for almost 20 years! In 2003 I tried to sell it on Ebay for 800 euros, not a single buyer, even at 600. I have been offered 400 for the worst so I kept it.
    And since 2006, I returned to the guitar and I rediscovered this free with happiness.
    The strongest is that it is a model 'Lost': it is not even listed on the site Gibson U.S.! so that when I put it on Ebay, I was told that this Grat ... existed!
    I am not a connoisseur, but I'm emotionally attached, and I really think it is a well made guitar, as we did in those days, with a beautiful sound versatile.

    Added: I just have it set in a store in Nivelles - the guy told me that she is at least 1000 euros and has potential buyers - or even 2000 if it is black! - Well, I do not know if it's true, but somehow I keep it. I find no gratis this quality is at a reasonable price anyway.

    Come on, even a 'edit' to honor the Grat: Sunday to repeat it: the other guitarist in my group has bought the same amp as me (Marshall VS100), we were all on channel 2 OD1, same setting, Epihone him with a Les Paul but he changed the pickups (beautiful red, gold hardware), I with my shovel beast The whole Paul Gross. The vâââche! there is no photo, I keep my gibson for life!!
