« Disappointed ... »
Published on 10/25/14 at 04:39The standard 2012 is a typical Les Paul Standard features of Paul:
mahogany body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, flamed maple top ...
The asymmetrical handle is quite comfortable.
The mechanical parts are of high quality: lift blocks, also blocked the bridge.
Came Neutrick locking jack.
Burstbucker pickups.
Viewpoint features, that's good.
UTILIZATION
The handle is nice, the guitar is very light (dug around body), good access to acute. Few adjustments so the sound comes immediately.
However, this forced me to sell this guitar is its stability: a disaster!
Despite the lift blocks, nothing to do, after a minute, the agreement is disastrous!
I tried several strings, several anchors, several ways to climb the ropes ... no solution works.
Seen with my luthier: verdict, the wood are not stable.
Ouch.
SOUNDS
The sound is not bad, I think if I had kept this guitar, I would have mounted the '57 Classic. I'm not a fan of the original pickups, but this is a personal opinion.
At the time I was playing on a Marshall Class 5 with a TS9 is the combination was not as versatile for two but devilishly rock'n roll !!
OVERALL OPINION
I kept almost a year but the lack of stability of the Agreement is unacceptable ...
It's beautiful, it's class, it sounds pretty good, but I feel that there is a problem with the wood Gibson of those years (I've had three and only one was stable ).
With experience, I do not have that choice.
