UTILIZATION
This is a typical Les Paul with its strengths and weaknesses (access to acute and weight).
SOUNDS
The pickups are very powerful. They need to use the volume to create nuances. The sound is heavy and not shiny. It is likely that I mounted microphones 57 and 57 to gain more flexibility.
OVERALL OPINION
I just buy it. I was looking for an absolutely typical Les Paul. I have tried several (Standard 2008, Tribute Studio 50, Les Paul Tradional). All are less powerful (question for microphones) and it thus becomes difficult to compare in terms of sound.
I found quite nice Studio 50 Tribute (humbeckers). I did not like the Tradional that I found very "clumsy" and a little rough to play.
The standard is very friendly and ergonomic but I really wanted a typical Les Paul I have not taken because it seems to be a hybrid with the body chamber and the resonance so special. It seems to be very versatile in terms of sound. In all cases more than the Classic (still a matter of choice of microphones in my opinion).
For the Classic, I like the handle 50 and appreciates that it is not chambered. It is very heavy in contrast to the standard 2008 which is super light and brighter. The volume knob and the other (tone) are effective. They do not affect the sound quality (when I fall I keep the volume of quality for clean).
Its appearance is beautiful and I appreciate that I have chosen is not too flamed (matter of taste). The day I changed the pickups I will do a comparison test with my Epiphone Standard Plus. Currently with the original pickups is useless as they are powerful (550T and 496R in the neck position).
