«  very good compromise between price / dream / quality »

For features, I'll be brief, first is the classic, second the other reviews detail:
Gibson Les Paul, Made in USA, config LP (2 pickups, 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-position selector.
Channel 60's: very nice in hand,''no sensation''buche, but that's not all end!

Obviously the special tribute to the series (beyond the paint, body''chambered''), it is the P90 pickups and that's what decided me.

For characteristics: it is exactly what I wanted, and it was not the case, I will not get it bought! So: 10/10

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, very easy access to the 17th box, and far from impossible until the 20th (I was expecting much worse!)

She is not heavy (confusing for a Les Paul), my back said thank you. The sustain is against him by a little below, I believe it, but it is not shocking, it is well above my strata, a Parisienne Walkways''''No password impeccable fatigue special to play with 2-3 hours, so it's cool.

The quality of manufacture and adjustment of the guitar are delivered impeccable: right race, action perfectly adjusted intonation almost perfect (I quibble) the varnish is very thin, but compared to my Fender Stratocaster (Mexico) I really like the feel Wood''''

Finishing on the side of the frets is somewhere between''correct''and''good'': I have nothing particular to blame, but even if nothing HOOK, I have a slight discomfort during slide a little sharp ... Nothing serious, no injuries of note and it's really to nitpick!

For the sound, see next chapter

So in use, a 7 / 10, my Squier is lighter, easier access (high) ...

SOUNDS

Sounds good, either people like it or not.

Let me explain: it's been 5-6 years that I play, and after playing on double (gfs EVH), simple (Fender Start MIM deluxe player), I was looking for the powerful dual listed with the aggressive / roots simple: the P90 was an obvious choice!

I play Blues / Boogie / Rock / Garage for reference Jack White / ZZ Top / Led Zeppelin. I play on various amps (a small Kustom 12 gauge, a Blackstar HT5, a Bogner Alchemist ...) with various effects (TS-like, big muff, wah, vibe).

the p90 is wonderful, more powerful and aggressive than my strat simple, less round et''warm''my EVH GFS mounted on my old Squier, they are wonderful in rock, punk, garage: a machine to crunch. clean sounds are not to be outdone, the microphone produces attractive serious jazz tunes (by lowering the volume a bit)

I repeat, but the crunch (very light kind of the intro to the barn,''''a good crunch ACDCien) is really his favorite.

These P90, however the lack of quality: the level of output! they are quite exclusive, clear sound is of far less flattering than my strat (although turning down the volume, it is playable), I lose so the strat my versatile side to win (which he lacked Start my) personality!

Note: I have no noise ... but I very rarely venturing on the grounds of the large distortion! I Cordial cables that are doing their taf ...

a 9 / 10 because it's really the sound I wanted, but it remains exclusive!

OVERALL OPINION

Let me be clear: I always wanted a Gibson, that's a Les Paul or SG, so my opinion is not purely objective.

Tribute series are a great opportunity for me: price, especially with the P90 (which microphones given my game a few years now seem most suitable for my style) is very attractive and concessions over a standart are very acceptable.

Before you buy it (without being able to try it, it was a bluff, but with 30 days warranty Thomann, not too many risks ...) I tried a Fender Jim Adkins (semi-hollow tele- body with set neck and 2 P90) and p90 with 3 blues st ... No regrets for my final choice ...

I've had it one month now, I play every day.

What I prefer: the crunch of his P90!

What I like least: the frets that should be a chouille finishing more (it's really to find fault, they are really good ... but not perfect )

I would do this election? Certainly, but with a slight hesitation with the SG of the same series ...

I am delighted therefore 8 / 10, it's really good!
