A Les Paul that thinks a telecaster? This is a guitar luthier? Nope, just a limited edition (no video on youtube of this guitar except mine, that's how it is uncommon).
So we have a swamp ash body (light) into 3 parts table with ash in a game.
The neck is maple with a maple fingerboard that is very reminiscent of the one on my PRS NF3 korina birds: rather selected.
Feature: the handle does not angle the table to accommodate the bridge hardtail.
Grover is no problem keeping tuning.

Electronics side, we have 2 P90 driven by two volumes (the micro acute splitter allows the microphone ... acute) and overall tone.

Tortoise shell pickguard a fashionable Telecaster to hide the linkage system B-Bender Joe Glaser. It is very efficient: no problem tuning even using it as a patient (normal, I never played with a B-Bender so I tend to abuse the thing time to find my marks o )

B-Bender can be converted to G-Bender swapping the jumpers.

It comes in a special case with brown embossed leather motifs way. It is not written above Gibson USA (personally I prefer) and it is beautiful while being discreet.

UTILIZATION

The handle is too big or too late. Access to acute is better than a Les Paul Standard or Custom (thinner body) but a little less than my Les Paul Special 1979 (a 55 RI is a gem ...). The heel of the neck is actually thinner and will not until flush with the back of the guitar. So it feels a little corner of the body with the palm of the hand lorsq'on plays in the treble ... but you soon get used to.

The sound of the P90 is split on top and the high can be used as a boost following rule how the amp. It does not sound like a Telecaster or a Les Paul but as the combination of P90 with ash and maple is very interesting dynamic with good attacks.

SOUNDS

We can play anything with this guitar. Personally, I do not know anything about country and everything (rock, blues, hard rock) passes without flinching. Obviously the P90 are not made for metal.

The sounds are beautiful and split really helps if you play with an amp muscular. Where this guitar excels, it is crunch: it sends the ball smoothly and the sustain is excellent.

OVERALL OPINION

I just to buy but I have a thirty guitars ... so what compare And this guitar is well worth the price. Side "collector" I was certainly attracted initially, but the quality of the guitar quickly convinced me.

B-Bender permmettre should add some effects from time to time even if you're not a player country music (Jimmy Page does have a std LP with G Bender ...).

B-Bender aside, this is the kind of scratches that could command his maker and for which you would pay double the price for it.

In my opinion, a Les Paul that stands out and deserves attention.
