Mahogany body, maple top
Tune-O-Matic
Stop Bar Tailpiece
22 freights
Slim Taper neck glued
Rosewood (2012) except maple toasted
A Micro Burstbucker Pro splittable (Easel) color zebra
A 490 Micro R splittable (Channel) color zebra
Grover
2 volume knobs (they are the ones that are used to micro splitter)
2 tone knobs
A 3-position selector.
UTILIZATION
The handle of this is particularly, I like all Gibson sleeves, I find that adapts very quickly, it is very late for a round of Gibson.
Access to the treble is not different from other Les Paul Gibson takes some getting used (in other words it is not a highway for shredders).
I have plugged into that tube amps and is obtained directly and without special settings Gibson sound so special.
I bought it brand new and factory setting was perfect, I just changed the strings.
SOUNDS
It is ideal for all styles of music, I personally use it for blues, blues rock, classic rock and some hard rock. Nothing to say it delivers the sounds we heard in the hard Southern rock (Lynyrd, Allaman Brothers, ZZ Top), the heavy blues of Led Zeppelin, but also more traditional blues.
I play on a tube amp Tubemeister 18 from H & K, and I do not play that on the clean channel which I add a Tubescreamer (as a rule and whatever amp I am using almost never channel saturated amplifiers ). But it's just a matter of preference, I tested it on the overdrive channel of a Marshall and it has done its office.
As for the split, it opens new possibilities sound very interesting, but I advise you not to split in the middle of a song, the difference is too sound and feel you have to make adjustments at the amp or your pedals. However in splittant was a true single coil sound without either the lens of a Fender.
The most interesting is to split the neck pickup and play in an intermediate position to have a very classic rock sound U.S..
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for almost 9 months and I am conquered, she has a really beautiful sunburst reminiscent of Duane Allman LP.
I preferred a studio "normal", because already the opportunity to have a microphone Burstbucker allows a little more aggressive in certain riff or solo. Similarly the vintage sunburst did not exist on studio "normal" when I bought it. Finally the mechanical splittage and grover are more significant. All for a difference of less than € 100 compared to a studio "normal".
I definitely do it again this choice
