A Les Paul that thinks it's a telecaster? This is a guitar luthier? Nope, just a limit draw (no video of this guitar on youtube from mine, that's how it is not very rpandue).
There is therefore a swamp ash body (lightweight) in 3 parts with a table ash in one portion.
The neck is maple with maple touch that reminds one a lot on my PRS NF3 korina birds: selects rather well.
Particularity the handle makes no angle to the table to accommodate the hardtail bridge.
Mcaniques Grover tuning so no problem keeping.

Electronic Ct was 2 P90 pilots with 2 volumes (the acute micro splitter allows the microphone ... high) and Gnrale Tone.

A tortoise shell pickguard Telecaster mode to hide the linkage of the B-Bender Joe Glaser system. This is very effective: no worry even tuning by using it as a patient (normal, I've never played with a B-Bender so I tend to abuse the thing time find my feet; o)

The B-Bender can be converted to G-Bender by switching the jumpers.

It is a book in tui spcial brown with leather fawn reasons repelled. It is not written Gibson USA it (I prefer personal) and it's just as beautiful discreet.

USE

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

The sound is top of P90 and split on acute allows to use it as a boost following how the receiver is rgle. It does not sound like a Telecaster or as a Les Paul but the combination of P90 with ash and maple is very intressante: very dynamic with good attacks.

SONORITS

We can all play with this guitar. Personally, I do not know in country and everything else (rock, blues, hard rock) passes without flinching. Obviously P90 are not made to the Mtal.

The clean sounds are very beautiful and split really helps if you play with a MUSCL amp. L o excels this guitar is crunch: a sends the ball without problem and the sustain is excellent.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I just buy it but I have thirty guitars so what ... And compare this guitar is well worth its price. Ct "collector" certainly attracted me to departure but the qualities of the guitar quickly convinced me.

The B-Bender permmettre should add some other effects of time even if it is not a country music player (Jimmy Page possde a good LP std with G ... Bender).

B-Bender put hand, this is the kind of scratches that could control its maker and for which you would pay twice the price of it.

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