Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty (1977)

Made in USA I know what most factory, probably Kalamazoo. 22 frets, Seymour Duncan humbuckers 3 (sh January 4 and 5). I modified with a Bigsby and a filter (replacing one of the two tone) that acts as a split pickups. A round type pick handle, perfect for gaming with the thumb above the button.

In short, what a les paul custom.

UTILIZATION

The handle will not suit everyone, but I personally love it (the frets are can be to redo but ... it gives it a more rapid appearance). It displays 8.3kgs, so station back!. The sound through the duncan is more modern, but it's still mind vintage anyway. But if I had the money I would hand him t top (new or similar).

SOUNDS

The clean sound is perfect, soft, we go from crunchy blues jaze carefree, all positions are of course usable, and with my mods the sound palette is huge!

Side distortion, it can send all styles without discrimination, she excels in there this lady!

Where I branch I find a personality, it is very flexible and at the same time it has a real personality. In a mesa it sounds terribly modern in princeton for example it esra ultra vintage. The choice is yours!

Only small problem, the output level of duncan's big (which will please everyone!), But with the filter we get to have beautiful cleans sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years, I have had many guitars in hand, and this guitar is a great lady in the world of stringed instruments. It is expensive, but the price premium. A les paul can not refuse
