« Nice like honey sticky sweet »

The Les Paul guitar is simply the best hard rock guitar that you can't buy. This one features a finger in maple top on top of the mahogany wood body neck. The fretboard is a nice solid rosewood fretboard the features block pearl inlays for the frets. You get to volume control knobs into town control moms and a pickup selector. You get two humbuckers which are burstbuckers that sounds very classic and it's Les Paul guitar. The tone of this guitar is a very smoky it's sick fat sounding guitar. It has that classic Les Paul tone that is heavy and powerful. The only thing I don't like about this guitar is that it's a chambered body. That means the tone is it going to be as robust in sick is a non-chambered gets Les Paul guitar.

SOUNDS

This guitar sits very well in the mix with the maple top of the mahogany wood. This too is really balance this guitar out very well and gives it a good silky smooth as robust talk. This guitar sounds exceptional with any high gain amplifier setting. Put this in front of a Mesa boogie or Marshall amplifier you can get some great solid hard rock tones. The look of this guitar also matches the tone of the the guitar very well. The honey burst just puts this guitar a league of its own. It has a vintage look pay modern design. It has to PLEK machine setup which balances out the frets to their machine suspect precise measurements.

OVERALL OPINION

At new you can find these guitars for right around $2700 which is sort of expenses for guitar for most people but then again this is a professional guitar. This guitar is for professional to grab or somebody knows exactly what they're looking for. I recommend this guitar to anyone you want to step into a modern Gibson Les Paul.
