«  a Les Paul that does not break your back! »

Published on 09/15/11 at 13:32
What Les Paul! United States manufacturing
mine is a late 90 model (without the leaf so).


The gold buttons are smooth bells ... they slip a little but you can put a rubber ring

UTILIZATION

The handle is of polished and satin finish does not stick, a good point.
I play rather fender and the handle did not used to it quickly destabilized. And anyway I'm not the srhedder of death that kill so ...
I love the simple finish round "dot" that changes the trapezius nacre.

Weight is the primary reason for my purchase, because this version has a body very thin (but curved table anyway), which plays heavily on its weight. After trying a studio (old model as non-chambered), there is no picture on my back and said thank you.

SOUNDS

I use it:
for the well round the neck pickup on its clear
and then especially when I want to sound angry with micro sharp fully open. While there, the beast is wicked, it sounds very old hard rock 70 ...
again from the studio, I much prefer, it's less rough but this is matter of taste.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it in two years time when I am unfaithful to my Telecaster.
Before I tried the studio.
The model I used was not bad and I changed the mechanics. The originals are frankly crying.
nevertheless an unbeatable value for money.
