MGR/Andy « Gibson Les Paul Studio DC »
Published on 12/01/02 at 15:00I bought this guitar at Mars Music. They were having this insane special on it, discounted from about $1400 to $700. It was the most beautiful guitar I'd ever seen, so I couldn't pass it up.
There is everything to like about this guitar. It plays like a dream (in other words, like any real Les Paul). The sound is clear and beautiful, and goes well with any effects or rig you want. Fulfilling the mission of the ideal guitar that the LP was designed to be, it is excellent for any sound, from clean to thick and crunchy. This guitar provides everything that any Les Paul can, with a slim, comfortable neck and a body that's sturdy but incredibly light, and (I think) it has the added bonus of looking better than the normal Les Paul (looks like any Les Paul Junior, which are pretty widespread in availability). Everyone that has ever played it has told me it is beautiful and sounds amazing.
The only thing I would change about this guitar, and it's very, very minor, is that I wish it was available with a moveable bridge so that I could use a whammy bar.
The construction of this guitar is top-notch. I have had this guitar for 2 and a half years and have played it into the ground, yet it still plays like I bought it yesterday and has held up as good as anything.
As great as this guitar is, I read somewhere that the specific model was discontinued, but if you can find this anywhere it is an amazing buy. I would give it 10 stars if I could.
