Then the beginners:

Ben bte all, it is a les paul ... ah ztes property avancsl eh! Well, let&#39;s go a little more in the same dtails right ... Here we go.
Gibson Les Paul Custom in 2005, the Custom MODEL is manufactured only by the custom shop since 2004.
Black, Black Beauty What!
Again, but we do rpeter enough I think: attention to the stand on which you will ask it! The varnish of the guitar is so fly nitro-cellulose in the stands plastoc low end that could perform all necessary to polish the guitar and altrer finish ...
The Wood:

Body-mahogany table relates Saddle bomb which must be in 2 parts I think.
Mahogany-profile "Rounded": it is not rev quickly, the varnish has not yet done so, you have to play a ... APRS and will get better. Nice thick, me coming out of Fender Start has changed! But it is far from being the largest in the Gibson Les Paul Reissue of sleeves 60, 59, 58, 57 and 56 are much worse (further down in the year, bigger is .. . Imagine the round of the &#39;56 ...) In fact, someone told me on another forum: round of the &#39;60 reissue Les Paul Custom Shop &#39;50 = profile for non-custom Gibson shop.
Bne-touch back with mother of pearl, sublime!
Binding-White will turn to crme time ... Yum!
Hardware:

Hardware-Dorbr />-Mcaniques Grover bath oils trs prcises the top!
-Tune-O-Matic Stop Bar tailpiece and simple but effective.
-Bone nut, trs beautiful, trs white owl nut ^ ^
Strap-locks-home, round and small ... hum hum ... Let&#39;s face it, has felt the trap that case ... I&#39;ll come back later.
Plaque-black plastic
Electronics:

Pickups 490R and 498T-, standard configuration at gibson, same damage, microphones with a little more cachet might have be ... ts better I do not know the other models in the Gibson so good ... We will say that it&#39;s going but these pickups are mounted on the SG Standard half the price ... I dnigre not the economy but it smells a bit the not?
-2 Volume, 2 tone, 3-way switch
In résumé:

Everything is trs classic, made more than 60 years as it has, there is no reason that a change!
Everything works well trs, the guitar is a RULES original perfection, a frieze does not, fine.
My only complaint for the strap-locks: I looked over prs in the store and I said, "but what&#39;s that-M ****? ? " No, no and no if you want to take the guitar on the foot is perfect (and 4kilos and 500 grams of bte, I can tell you that you will feel it!) They are small, and trs round, not really for it to properly hold a strap: strap-investing in locks mandatory, unless you play in your room which case it&#39;s good. I have all virtual and I put Schaller: The Dunlop, cki parat ... better. But never seen or test so ... Schaller Vive!

I opened the guitar, no complaints about the welds or The elements of electronics, it&#39;s beautiful, it&#39;s clean and smells good work.

9 because of the varnish of the handle and straps.

UTILIZATION

The use is somewhat ... Or specially plutt ... Dlicate.

Several complaints:

A-LP is small but it&#39;s big too ... We see the petty cash of Les Paul, any and all mimi but when it was in the arms, it seems Olala standard! The weight does not help it&#39;s heavy, it feels the guitar man (yes a man with a big "H")
-The Access in acute .... mythical ahhh! Body-neck junction is making the 16ME box, it is not to grab the ais 22me. Anyway, Jimmy Page, Zakk Wylde, Slash, uh, has had too much air to GNER ... Well then it is faster, unless you leave a Washburn N4 guitar is one of the best Submitted Access in acute march ... L ... Jpeux do anything for you.
-Last point: Beware of unintended switchage prs for those who scratch the handle (I am) it needs to be done. It is the opposite of the stratum: stratum need to be careful not play a prs of the bridge and the opposite ... Good is not it nothing is being done.

Standing the balance of the guitar is what makes a good little mention his weight, but with APRS 1:30 RPET, I am relieved to return to the Start! Prvoyez the muscle! I&#39;m kind of plutt puppy so it can be explained (1m75 to 65kgs)
Small dtail some Gnant: the lack of muzzle (like a Start) to facilitate the positioning and playing the right hand.
Sitting is better, you no longer feel its weight, it leaves very easy to play but the lack of muzzle is more upright feel. It is immediately less enjoyable without it.

In résumé: dpart in the game was not very easy for me it&#39;s going much better now. I&#39;m used to these "default" that are not really ... It&#39;s just a matter of habit.

SOUNDS

So the my children ... When I play the BPS, everyone is in communion in front of me and my amp! What sound! Or should I say, what sounds!

His Clair:

Has ever seen ... A Fender Gibson that sounds almost, you think you? Well I tell you, it exists and I want proof! It is not as versatile sr, as versatile, but we approach it a lot with a surplus of potatoes: it&#39;s really not dgueu.
Round neck pickup, a true velvety apricot nectar we drink up in vomit so good! It is a little down the volume and tonality was a jazz sound, a real jazz sound ... Volume and Tone bluesy background is hope! Perfect also for the notes arpges dtachent much from each other even in complex agreements.

Bridge Pickup, ca claque, ca crunch by attacking the strings like a nag, but there are ways to have a real clear sound without much gain or lower the volume while the output level is more than her boyfriend lev 490R. Country, funk, blues, rock and roll ...

Position Intermdiare, SPECIFICATIONS, I use it only slightly trs is a little shuffled the two but it seems that despite ale that a lower output level, the neck pickup takes over ... The sound is affected and it is therefore closer to what I have to handle Describes what I said about the bridge pickup ... The round with a straightforward attack somehow ...

Saturax:

The Claque!
It&#39;s hot, it screams, it&#39;s really excellent, the ultimate weapon for blues, rock and hard. Metal, Heavy, Goth and other extrmits, change the pickups, ca does not agree probably pass as a certain level of gain, not as ca prcis, the sound becomes too fat and lack of precision is obvious. I personally perfectly fits me!
Sound falling backwards, of which linear potentiomtres rpondent the hair ... Need I say more? It&#39;s potato and heat throughout.

OVERALL OPINION

She and I did 1 month.

My 1st guitar trs high-end, it&#39;s really not dgueu.
When we got there can not do without! But before it reaches a proportion fMeasure into the head of some ca is not the best skyscraper in the world. This is an excellent guitar, possdant of default and it is necessary to tempra. On lead guitar, while dpend your style, if you only have this guitar, you can quickly go around in circles ... use with other guitars so.

For one thing against sre: the Les Paul is a myth, a myth that is paid, trs expensive (even a bit too) but when you love ...
