« Cool and chambered »

The Les Paul guitar is a fantastic instrument for pretty much any style of music out there. Unlike the Fender Stratocaster or telecaster guitars this guitar can go from country all the way to new metal type tones. The new metal and just pretty much any style of metal that Fender Stratocaster for telecaster's will be old to pull off quite as easily as the Les Paul guitar.

This guitar has two humbucker pick ups installed. With two volume control knobs and two tone control knobs as well as a pick up selector between each humbug to pick up. It's not a over-the-top feature wise guitar but it's a very basic instrument.

SOUNDS


These guitars that well in pretty much any style of music you use but if you use a nice high gain amplifier such as a Bogner, Mesa boogie, or Marshall amplifier that you're getting get a nice big juicy tone is very warm and musical. This guitar does the palm you could chuck a chuck a type tones very well. Primarily because I has a humbucker pick ups but also the thick mahogany and wood that is very dense in the body in the neck. They usually have thicker next to which adds in another dimension of tone and residence. If you use with a clean amplifier's got to get a good tone but not quite as good as you would with a nice overdriven amplifier.

OVERALL OPINION

These guitars you can find pretty easily as well but they do come in different types of packages as far as features of different woods and different tops. But you can find them pretty easily in any guitar retailer and online retailer. I highly recommend his guitars because they're very fun to play and they're great for recording and gigging musicians. Overall they're a great instrument and extremely versatile for pretty much any solid music.
