Gibson Les Paul Studio Gem

SERIES specially produced between 1996 and 1998. This gem has the classic caractriqtiques know a Les Paul mahogany body, table stocky, Set Mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard and 22 frets, tune 24 3 / 4. "Typical Bridge and tailpiece.
The little extra compared to other sries studio is the range of color that echoes that of some stones prcieuses and especially the two P90 pickups!

UTILIZATION

Well it's a Les Paul so the handle is a beam (but I love him as a) and it is still as heavy but with a good strap a password. Although the locks are prconiss straps. The handle is a bit slow but it's still good even a guitar that makes great expressiveness and the feeling.

SOUNDS

Then the sound! Dja I love the P90 is very nervous and in a good amp lamp kills bears. With the Tone knobs gives a fairly broad palette of sound. Good clear hard rock typ AC / DC through a 'ti crunch friendly. Basically the sound of Neil Young. I find idalie in blues and rock on the spot. I did not test by putting too much gain because it is not the type of sound that j'apprcie.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is my expectations of the moment is to say some versatile (it's not a Start either but hey ...) while keeping a certain personality. In short, a good shovel with a pickaxe handle.

This is a guitar United States (forcment!) Team of two microphones P90, a beautiful color "red wine". Everything else is CHARACTERISTICS of Les Paul, so I do not m'tends on the subject ...
Only problem: the bridge, which is not super convenient for me ... but it's got a case of this kind of bridge Obviously having proven.

UTILIZATION

I find the handle trs enjoyable: large. It's a heavy guitar, which possde incredible sustain.
Trs is enjoyable to play, everything seems simple.

SOUNDS

The sound is simply incredible sounds clear, full, a rgal. It should all styles of music: blues, jazz (the P90 gives a warm sound), rock, funk or hard (but this is not my thing) ... everything goes well

OVERALL OPINION

I love this guitar. It's been three years since I use (mostly on scne). Sounds are trs Varis and good quality. The sustain is excellent. Aesthetics and visual pleasure sound!

Inspector Van loke here.
everything has been said, primarily a les paul with P 90, Limited to 1996 to 1998 I think. originale.La exemplary finish and color is my color "Amethyst".

UTILIZATION

Channel gibson aime.facile as they are to play when we used to.
Instrument that weighs his weight, which is also convenient for sustain.Le weight does not bother me absolutely not, on the contrary it is in place like that
Good ergonomics, it must be used to playing on Paul.
For audio, you can plug it anywhere, there's no problem, it sounds .. even on the first amplifier 10 watts of life that we dare not revendre.Barnchée on a table via a box live and it's really the case as well.
The p-90 have a very plaisant.parfait grain for the blues, pop, rock, hard rock .. they forgot I was going to defend for the sounds as well jazz, bossa.
it can be used also with bottleneck, the sound is really hot with return after adjusting string height right méme.Instrument solid.

SOUNDS

It is perfect and is very fine.
A tube amp and go.
Microphones offer an opportunity to sound interesting colors, the sound is primarily fat and thick sustain very flatteur.en position trebble we get to have a sound quite bright and sharp, certainly not cracked like a fender tele or stratovolcano, c ' is still the sound you are looking gibson ici.En neck pickup position with a saturation amplifier adequate one comes pretty fast in hard rock sounds so clean in the Paul.On can get clean sounds very sweet too In short there is no shortage of ways to express themselves with this guitar.Je plays mostly pop, rock, hard rock, blues, jazz, bossa, (although a dry nylon is more recommended for this style, but it sounds very good when we do not want to get out several guitars) and bottleneck.
What's the gibson!

OVERALL OPINION

I play it for 7 years.
This is a piece of wood unbreakable increvable.Jamais surprises, the varnish is well shot and use.The old golden acastillages at least aesthetic: the bridge is not too much gold and attacked by the sweat .. . in short it does not bother me that much absolutely market.The agreement is good.
The value for money is unbeatable aps is good but given the strength of the product, the sound and aesthetics, the overall quality.
I do it again this choice without hésiter.quoique ... gibson rises more than price and this model is no longer édité.L aspect of this guitar color "amethyst" mixed with p-90 gives a snapshot "vintage".
This was an interlude mr loke presented by Van castarama stores.

For 10 years I own this little gem color Amethyst.
When it was released in 1996 I was lucky that I offer for the success of my research (thank you Mom Dad ).
At the time, this Gibson was charged about 800, - Euro in Belgium ... when I see his side now, I think a few years it will be collector ... but out of the question for me to sell it is sentimental.

Technically:

It is heavy but it enhances its stability.

UTILIZATION

Channel super nice.

SOUNDS

The P90 sound out on my beautiful 30 Marshall VS, whatever the style played (Rock, Blues, Metal, etc ...)
