Les Paul Studio Faded worn cherry

USE

Handle very pleasant.
Weight: not as heavy as my old LP Studio and therefore more pleasant on hard
Access to acute right
Sound: a dream! Gibson sound, true, pure instantly!

SONORITS

I played for 35 years in rock records, blues, pop and classical. I can play everything on this guitar. Crystal clear and warm rhythms to raging solos passing even by pieces of classical guitar.
I use a masrchall lamps. This guitar provides all Gibson sounds. For the price, this guitar is a marvel.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for a year and I admit that I use much less my Deluxe Stratocaster US since I have this guitar. It is much better than the normal Gibson LP Studio I possdais there a few years, and in addition, unlike the First, it takes much better tuning.

This guitar is a revelation: the standard Gibson sound to 600/700. It is becoming very beautiful faded version smells the wood elsewhere. Book in a gibson chest with white velvet inside.

If you rvez his real Gibson, but can not or do not want to over 2,000 in a standard, go without hsiter acqurir for this guitar.
In electric I possd an Ibanez (also very good scratch), a LP studio, three stratos US, but this is the best electric I have ever had.

USE

Despite the lack of polish we walk on the handle which is very ergonomic.
It is extremely lightweight for a Les Paul, its shape is very pretty (but it is seen dj knows that we know what we research ...) However, the access to the treble is a bit difficult but as almost every Les Paul you tell me.

I will not dwell too much on that because CONSIDERING me even as "beginner" I do not want to distort the notice.
I'll just say that it is perfect for my style of music (Pop, Rock, Metal ... as in an apartment, I play a little Vox AC4TV lamps 4w but I have not tested with a pedal effect, but investment is underway.

This is my first electric guitar (well you fuck you !!! not like some friends we have told me ^^), I use it for less than a month and I am tr s a happy Needless to say ...
For Gibson, I do not find it overly expensive price, I prfr a Les Paul Junior with a single microphone and only 50 cheaper so I think I do it again this choice is in h siter.

made in uSA, the rest looks very close to a les paul ... do not you think?

UTILIZATION

the handle should do it, for me it was not easy because I come from the world Ibanez handle highway .....
the most important is the wear low, head in the air, piuce above the handle. in this position, it is easy to sort the riff from Led Zeppelin!

SOUNDS

it rumbles villain immediately behind a good drive channel. and it's still sweet in neck pickup and clear and warm.
a short pleasure

OVERALL OPINION

certe this is not a standard, a traditional or a custom. but it sends severe.
for that price it takes for easy page!

Mine is dating a model 2010 purchased from a luthier there of that one week (February 2014). Okay so on components, vary depending on the year, supplier, etc ... Note that the LP Studio Faded were not equipped with maple table before 2012.
For my part:
• Factory USA (that's normal from a Gibson tell me ...)
• Mahogany Body
• Mahogany
• Mahogany
• Rosewood fingerboard
• Two humbuckers Burstbucker pro
• A Tune-O-Matic
• chambered body (so hyper light, and it's nice to death on a Lespaul!)
For mechanical Gibson Deluxe is noted above, I could not tell you more, but they are very precise and takes into tuning.
• 22 frets
• 2 volume / 2 tone controls and a 3 pos'
• In terms of finishes, the guitar is simply painted with a fairly thin veneer, again we must love, you do not have the shiny, and the guitar is a little less protected, but the color remains pretty cool

UTILIZATION

• Regarding the handle, it is round enough and very comfortable, my luthier did a perfect job at the settings, I find it easier to play a Ibanez after every guitarist has his preferences, personally I ' totally agree.
• In terms of usability, in terms of form, it will not be easy, this is what a LP ... Access in acute is not easy but the solos are feasible with more or less ease. For weight, as I said above, the recess and nail play, but it is very light compared to a traditional LP, your back and shoulders will thank you: D
• Beauty is very easy to tame, knobs that match, two microphones with their own personality, very efficient mechanical ...

SOUNDS

As mentioned just above, microphones each have their own personality, of course with a pickup more access to acute and its pretty square and a round neck pickup rather hot, with a system based on the bass, perfect sound for playing the clean.
Rather I play, rock blues, metal, and heavy metal, and it happens to follow me in all these records! Very comfortable on small cushy blues, with a pretty decent sustain, and a very warm sound, even for warm tones it is also very comfortable on the rock Guns N Roses, and even after playing metal, hardcore limit, it also stroll, well proportioned bass as acute, depending on your settings in any case I do not have to worry with some beatdown.
I mainly play on my Blackstar HT-20 with an Ibanez TS9 that I use boost.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a week that I have, and I am constantly on so this guitar is great, difficult to pass such a skyscraper. You Gibson quality at your fingertips with a fairly good price.
I took a big blow to heart, because I wanted the base point me to a Flying V or a PRS SE Custom 24, a simple test on this LP and I wanted to embark.
If the choice was to do it again I would do it again, especially for the price, and maybe I would consider the change a little, by putting a pair of active pickups or something like that (bouuuh sacrilege: D)
Maybe I would put a caveat for varnish too fragile, although I love its appearance, but this is really to quibble and not put him 10/10 everywhere

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice.

Ergonomics is not his strong point .. Heavy and especially gives the impression of the body on your ribs if you play a lot. The weight is not more evenly distributed and the guitar looks easily to her body ... PAs ideal for sitting and playing heavy to play long standing ....

Access to acute is limited "single cut".

The sound is the advantage of this guitar. Its velvety fat saturation. Worn down the sound spectrum in contrast to a strat.

SOUNDS

The sound suits the metal "humbucker", blues, jazz ...

Microphone to the "rhythm" position is soft and warm .. the microphone position vagueness tremble for my taste.

Amp - VOX AC4TV one or more cabinet Egnater Tweaker, fasle wah, Boss DS1.

I prefer the microphone "Rhythm" delivers a warm, round sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years.

Pacifica tried a strat mex, Ibanez, Jackson, Special Strat am (my second darling + ds the upper register)

+ + For its velvety and - ergonomics.

Value unbeatable prices for the original Paul.

I would do this choice without hesitation! A very good violin. Currently update "split mic", phase and bypass. ThE microphones are capable of splités "4w drivers"

It has everything a great If this is the table Flamée maple and varnish "gloss". Personally I prefer natural gloss without sensation.

I'll make it simple, it is a U.S. model, accéssible on a budget, with its typical Gibson (Hot, powerful, very nice for the big sound).

I do not spread on the characteristics it has already been done, but the interest to purchase such a guitar.

There is no law clear and precise it is a matter of taste and price for many of us.

I'll give you my experience because I know that this ^ ^ well, this guitar has an affordable price you can ask there fishy, ​​and no, it sounds like a Gibson should sound, with all the charisma of legend.

The only thing that could be daunting one, it is esthétyque and finish that has been reduced for reasons of time, I personally do not think that will be a negative point because I find it as super class ...

As I said it is a matter of taste.

UTILIZATION

Talking about weight because Gibson is synonymous with quality but also Heaviness and yet I find with this is 3.4 kg it stands this is eldest.

In short you will understand, I advise and I sign ...

SOUNDS

Sound "ouaaaaa"

OVERALL OPINION

For the overall opinion so I think that a price / quality ratio is perfect.
For the note I put 9 because we are not careful on Gibson standart malgrés everything so there are better but more expensive too.

Gibson studio guitars are one of those guitars that match the demands of the budgeted musician. Gibson has successfully built guitars that reach to the highest of platform and have been played by the most famous musicians of all time. Gibson guitars have a girth and mystic that is distinctly Gibson. Most of their guitars feature mahogany wood throughout the body and they just have tone that Fender cannot match, not better or worse but just a different feel and tone all together.

SOUNDS

The neck feels good and smooth and like an old glove. This is nice feeling guitars nonetheless. The tone is just not where I would like it to be. It is at a great price so there isn't too much to complain about. What I don't like about he new Gibson Les Paul's are they are chambered. This means they are somewhat hollow on the inside. This cuts down on the girth and raunchiness of the tone in my opinion. I have heard them A/B and I prefer the original style of build to the Gibson Les Paul's.


OVERALL OPINION

At new you can find these for right around $899 or so. That is a good intro price for a Gibson Les Paul guitar. These have a good build quality even though they are chambered. They have a feel and tone that is pretty transparent within the Gibson line of guitars. This is a great rockers guitar for sure.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it? Few days
I like his first appearance then, nothing dtest,
I have not tried many other guitars before buying it if it is a studio LP piphone but the finish of the handle trsmdiocre silent, the silent yet his INTERESTED . (if I have a signature T, another world!)
The ratio quality price is correct trs: for sale on the national territory (near the location where the Earth's gravity as 9.81 Newton), for this price is worth not worth buying anything that will end at the bottom of a plaquard then became a dcht more about this beautiful plant.
Thank you all, PS: Nice flycase Gibson comes with (making Canada)!

OVERALL OPINION

Two months of use, I am delighted,
while rvant a gibson, I would opt for a pihone (budget requires) when I found this MODEL I pay 1000 euros so about 300 euros more than a black piphone beauty.
This guitar offers an excellent qualitprix for those who are not fans of bending and lacquer Asian style coffee table.
The set is quite effective and lgant while remaining sober, it is not a board.
I insist on the handle which is great and enjoyable sound that is typical gibson.
I would do without hsiter this choice if you find one (it is a MODEL 2006) made the step you have a good surprise is the luxurious and hard case included in the price.

UTILIZATION

Channel remarkable super comfortable, this SERIES gives the impression of a play in the attic gibi dniche pp.
Access in acute: Can not do it for.
ergonomics: it's not the pb in Gibson, their guitars are made to sound and that's what they do. My PSE an LP but what does his death! In addition I like to wear a tree trunk ...
sound: simply plug for one of his killings, the sublime and clear saturation fighter.

SOUNDS

I play what I like, the more variety in the worst heavy and just ask for your password.
I play on a Marshall DFX 100 watt, no effect
The clean sounds are pure 50's mtal of fat. Crystalline demand.

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year, a marvel. Gibson finally back to basics, the quality for a reasonable price. Polyalence, big sound, finish, price (I pay 743 euros), everything is there.
If I do it again without re c'tait hsiter. Or j'achte a standard.

Made in the States !!!!!! Otherwise, all is said below.

UTILIZATION

Channel super nice hand size Rights. Access to acute as what a Les Paul! Light weight (no patent obligations) and sound, not instead SOUND {EDIT 31/07/2009: Oh surprise, it is not 490R and 498T pickups but Burstbucker Pro Alnico V 2 that are mounted above! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!}! <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /><img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /><img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /><img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /><img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /><img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /><img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /><img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /><img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /> Huge.

SOUNDS

Blues, rock, hard: work wonderful

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a year in Worn Cherry and tear. Do not trust the pictures on the net, the red color is superb. In addition, I changed the pickguard and knobs and buttons, I find it very nice to it (somewhat) expensive. It's a scratching bare, rough cast and I love it. It's not a skyscraper that will be afraid to go out ("oh la la, scratching at the € 3000 I can not leave the room anyway") The sound is beautiful, it's the people and not Gibson that of the "baby rockers" of the 16th or Versailles. This is the guitar of the rural (and mountain for me!) Who love authentic Zic. PS: I do not share Gibson at € 700 but forget all that crap are the same price. Hi, Parigot, hello The country (Mauritius)
26/10/10 EDIT: this is a little over 3 years and I have always thrilled with the scraper, it sounds in all registers and it is beautiful.
I see no guitar which comes close in this price range.

Manufacturing States.
Rosewood 22 frets, two humbucking double bobinages.490R and 498T.
Tune-O-MATIC.
2 volume and 2 tone 3-position selector.
Channel 59 rounded type (of comfort for my taste)

UTILIZATION

-The handle is not a highway is in such big highway limited to 110 ... It makes good fun in blues and type a few Malmsteen or S. VAI! The plus is the satin finish that allows for inter-galactic slides, the ferrule is protruding a bit due to the absence of the piping on the trim as standard, so unless you have the clamps in place of hands in this case relaxes you, the game is very fast and very nice!
-With regard to access to acute, I make a turn because I had an Epiphone SG from home and access to offset the acute buche handle ... and I must admit that I still a little galley for a month ... But it is a matter of habit. For connoisseurs I would say that access is "the paulien." This is far from death!!
-As for the lack of weight polyoréthane coatings significantly reduce the beast that weighs just 6 pounds tt!
-To the sound yet but I find I can say that the tampering of tone and volume knobs to allow a range of sound colors VERY interressant.Sinon the basic sound of hell and very hot and slamming!

SOUNDS

Bcp-I play Hendrix and Zappa and fits me like a fish fin! I type a lot of acdc and punk as Sham69 or Dropkick Murphys and that it must under the skirt! It is very well for Led Zeppelin you can imagine!
-I play an Orange Tiny Terror and I must say that there's nothing to say!! I also play on a transistor and the lady Marshall highlights the amp!!
-I prefer the blues sound to the cavernous Ray Vaughan and Hendrix and I am very satisfied! It's a very warm with a sacred attaque.Pour have something to compare my grateux has a standard and I'm not tt decrease!! The only problem is the BE sustain a little shorter than a standard ... But it is difficult ke same sacrament!!

OVERALL OPINION

I have since the end of June
What I like most about it is the satin finish outside and the side roots it has!! I hate too much make-up tools for me is like the car the moment it is not pink fluot fits me, I run my business and as a result of the fact I look to play! The one I chose is a worn cherry, which pulls the worn brown and I must say that I have not seen Another yet!
And at the sound I filled my children!
I wanted to base a Gretsh hollow body and I must say that this model has some characteristics of a hollow body sound cad very round with a lot of réponse.l advantage is that the LP does not sound mushy, it remains clear!
I bought it in shop and I was vaccinated for the VPC for an identical model every scratch Diiron both comfort that sound!!
Purchased € 760! I would do this choice without hesitation!! What a bargain!
My only worry is the satin finish which results mark the guitar more easily in case of shoot, and makes it difficult to maintain ac products.
Musically !!!!!

Made in Nashville, Tennessee. United States naturally. (I prcise I possde A model of 2008)
for the rest, everything is said in another review

UTILIZATION

Channel super enjoyable, hand glides like a bowling ball on his trail ... well how great! plutt flat handle, and unlike what one might think, that there is not painted, does not irritate the skin of the hand and does not catch! Gross does not mean packed Chardes!
Access in acute as any Les Paul's fat ... get used to, but once you grab the stuff, it comes alone!
not so heavy as that, she has two cavities to lighten the body. they do not sciera shoulder if you play standing with a strap, even after some hours of play! (Unless of course your strap is a vritable over sliced ​​bread!)
the form ca ... well I never drang either assimilated or dbout (lying upside down with one foot on the way ... etc ...)
and to get a good sound nice ... even my 18 month can do it!

SOUNDS

I am building on a Led Zeppelin and all that PERIOD, as well as Jimi Hendrix and other follower of his dirty and aggressive, and it suits me perfectly, it is super versatile!
I have a good little amp backstage 12 watt Peavy home .... but I'm still a super tonn (pr on the amp it's pathetic) when it leaves me j'la branch!
The sounds are awesome .. although I found the clean limit and sometimes a bit average arpge, as well as acute and sometimes a little too feeble flapping of .. can be a table in mahogany plutt than maple, which brings the sounds of SG. in distortion is a queen, whether in lead, rhythm, everything you want! wah wah sound in clean and middle switch is INTERESTED and makes me want to play for hours!

OVERALL OPINION

I 4juin2008 since we are the 18septembre2008, and well I'm still on the first day when I took in my hands!
report quality price is to die for so it is advantageous! advantage of the high price of the euro's decline Whereas prices in europe!
I advise and I do it again .. this choice (although ... I do not necessarily ncessaire have two identical guitars)
