UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant and not too thick or too thin, in terms of ergonomics, is a Les Paul is thick, it will depend on the user template. For me it's going very well.

SOUNDS

The sound of rock and roll, jazz & blues ... it can rock extreme, but I explore it better. We buy a Les Paul for it's a. We are not asking for a telecaster sound like an ESP Kirk Hammett for example. So, if you like the sound of the Les Paul is the foot, if you bought a Les Paul to sound like a Gretsh, it makes him less.

OVERALL OPINION

I have read some tips and stuff on the finishes of the Les Paul hah ... Descend on Earth, Gibson is a factory: they are great guitars whose sleeves are cut and hand-made, yes ok, the body-sided machine then finished by hand (well the big sander ribbon) but remains in mass production folks. What a scoop! If you want a guitar made entirely by hand in small onions and pampered, bin it places an order from the maker. Guitar zero defects in finishes? Bin it goes to PRS, everything is digital. So he must know what you will, I prefer a guitar with some defects finishes (which are never fatal, either - I have 5 Gibson) but made largely by the hand of man rather a guitar made by a robot, or the man that has taken place in the final process control.
Another thing: the famous varnish Gibson as saying this is: it is a nitrocellulose-based varnish. What's the point? it is a soft-touch paint in these early years that leaves vibrate the guitar (part of the recipe for his Gibson). It is a fragile nail, taking care that will color gradually jaunne and crack over time, having lost its elasticity. Gibson will apply a lacquer-based plastic like other manufacturers, the sound will cost. But what the hell is in no way a fault! And yes, all your Gibson will one day crack the veneer that time, she vireront jaunne with all the time, it is. But is the price to pay for what his legend.
