rafilou57 « A Gibson Les Paul very modern »
Published on 02/09/14 at 12:16Made in USA
Rounded handle Type 50, but it is much closer to a rounded 59 as a 50 for me.
22 frets
490R and 498T Micro handle easel.
2 volume, 2 tone, 3-position selector.
After color level is particular, it is blue in shade and it becomes quite silvery light .... Personally I prefer when it is in the shade.
No body and neck binding ... good ... it's a studio.
As against it is as thick as standard, and the table is also curved.
Finish level ... The weak point ... as always with Gibson ... This is frankly not possible! Will really have to they wake up American luthiers ...
This is my 5th Gibson, and it is still and always the same, that problems of finishes. There's a poc binding on the body neck junction is not nickel chrome, a poc below the micro BTE, glitter varnish on certain frets and part of the key, paint and varnish not uniform across handle ... brief ... it sucks ... This is GIBSON ...
If only there would be no such défaults home ... It would be really the best guitars in the world ...
But now you get used to dream ... We buy a Gibson for its sound quality, and quality materials, not its finishes!
She does not deserve more than 5sur10, and again this is just for the quality of the materials.
UTILIZATION
The handle 50 rounded style is very nice, quite round, but it is much less fat than a les paul studio vintage 90s. It is closer to 59 than the original model 50.
The weight is quite pleasant, much lighter than my standard paul faded because this model is chambered.
Good access to acute is obtained, but a more difficult hair with this handle because it is bigger than the famous slim tapper handle 60. (A must for me, a true highway that handle).
I put him 9 because 10/10 is not possible ....
SOUNDS
This guitar is perfect for today ...
It is chambered, but apparently this model there has been a huge work done on acoustic cavities, which increase the level of output and sustain.
Personally, sustain level, it does not change, but against output level ... It's amazing it sounds!
When empty, it sounds already. The guitar vibrates everywhere.
Good point already.
While plugged in, the sound is killer!
Very high output, modern sound with a lot of grain, but not mushy, very accurate.
In clean, the neck pickup is perfect for jazz and blues arpeggios, the intermediate position is nickel for arpeggios and rhythmic, and the bridge pickup is perfect for large saturations and solos.
You can almost do anything with this guitar, it really is much more versatile than my standard paul faded beacoup which has a more vintage sound, fat and mushy ... This is perfect for the old rock and all, but not to of metal or arpeggios. The good vintage les paul what!
It is quite another ... very modern, more versatile, more comfortable sound level in the clean and smoothie, more accurate ... But it is not well runny grain and fat from the standard paul ....
I played on a Marshall JCM900, and I must say that the sound is great with this guitar.
I personally love ... The sound is very modern and it changes me ...
This is very similar to the sound of the les paul custom! SI SI! It's really something else, but then I know that the good old fat sound burstuckers my standard ... it gives me chills on a large distortion!
OVERALL OPINION
I've had only 2 weeks, but I must say it won me over!
Yes I have a gibson sg standard, a standard paul faded and faded flying v electric guitar. Each has its own characteristics and its ...
What I like most is the very modern paul side, with its carved in the air today, the fewer finishes, and color can be daunting for a it is certain!
For the price, this is a great guitar ... REALLY!
I tried a studio currently more than 10 years ago, and it was my first try on a GIBSON! I was very happy!
And when the grip ... OLALA ...
I really did not like at all at all!! Killed in the bone as it were the other! That's a Gibson?? It sounds not! And it's true that it does not sound at all this les paul! And handle a true buche! Huge!
No no no ... I was bummed because we had always told me that it was THE GIBSON GUITAR, but the studio was horrible at all levels (must be said that maybe I was wrong can be dropped too, there is that does not sound ) ...
It is completely better! It sounds, nice handle, and that you ask for ...
This is a very good guitar, I recommend to all, studio model, it is superb!
