Lctrique solid body guitar, mahogany set neck and rosewood fingerboard. The Paul of the 1979 silent I possde up two humbuckers splitables. It has two volumes, two tones and a slecteur three positions. Silent natural finish. This was the era of the entry-level Les Paul

UTILIZATION

The instrument is more comfortable than a Les Paul Standard as the lack of table Saddle makes it more lightweight, which, incidentally, is not evil. The balance of the instrument and maintenance agreement is good. It remains in each configuration Gibson classic. Its handle is enjoyable, but less than a Standard which nets soften the feel.

SOUNDS

I used this guitar with amps Marshall JTM 60 and JCM 900 ... The sound is quite plolyvalent. Splitter into the microphones, the result is a Fender, but with a touch warmer. In doubles, it is close to the Les Paul Standard, but the sound is significantly worse: the duration of notes is infrieure, saturation less strong, not to mention the finesse ... In short, we do not find me in the traditional Les Paul. However, to play blues or rock, a sound even when trs well. In fact, this instrument is between the LP junior with microphones and simple p 90 LP Standard double up.

OVERALL OPINION

I used this guitar three months. I probably would have kept if I had not had better home. I apprci comfort and versatility of sound. But I prfrais the sound of my Standard is suprieur, although less versatile. This guitar is a good choice for those who want an instrument half way between Fender and Gibson, comfortable and strong. But he who wants his "Jimmy Page" has to go his way. There are better elsewhere. The price is right, but not amazing.
