MGR/John John A. « Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic »
Published on 04/29/02 at 15:00Purchased at Centre City Music in CA. Intended to buy a Les Paul Gothic, a professional at the store informed me that although the Gothic was a good axe, recommended me to invest on one that I would defenitely keep for a while. The Les Paul Classic was $300 more at $1300.
A very well made guitar. Vintage tuners and aged inlays are a plus. Set in neck and a carved top are the reason to purchase this guitar. 500T high output pick ups will never let you down on heavy grunge, distortions, and heavy metal riffs. No defects as soon as you open it from the box. Wine red color gives it the old-school classic look that accents it's 1960 influence. Well known for its slim tapperd neck for smooth and quick playing. I invested an arm and a leg, and still could say that it was well worth it. Works very well with my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe TUBE amp.
Gibson guitars are very notorious for their high prices. I paid for mine last year and still is upto now. It will be fully paid soon.
As I have said, very well made guitar. Les Pauls are very well known in any type of music in any type of era. But on this note: you're not only getting a Les Paul, you're getting a Gibson Les Paul.
The Classic Paul has a 500T high output humbucker pick ups. Although it packs a lot of power, it is not a flaw. It is how the manufacturers designed it. Cannot blame a good axe for doing its job.
