Published on 12/12/12 at 05:38usa gibson les paul studio ...
conventional manufacturing gibson lp, mancge mahogany neck, rosewood key with pearl rectangles, mahogany body and maple table .. without bindings (white lines along the body)
2 humbuckers are both bold and incisive. perfect for blues, rock, hardcore, funk, pop, jazz .. why not and even metal. the sound is very balanced and easily takes a central place in the mix.
this guitar is a must for a solo blues, rock and funk-soul .. big sound very fat, with a strong presence and low-medium warm.
the handle is wider than that found in fender, but remains relatively "thin" for a gibson. the binding makes it very fluid.
UTILIZATION
the handle is very nice, and little tiring.
it is a gibson lp, so this is access to acute or tapping, it is not as comfortable with one or charvel lag .. but this is not the main objective. (I say this for the "modernist-purists" .. I personally do not like the sleeves square Ibanez Jem, and I take my foot to play the van hauling a LP .. but I regret that there is no affordable LP with floyd!)
Another downside: you have to be tough, it weighs! it is better to start with a big padded shoulder strap (leather yen too ugly): at the beginning, I wanted not one hour standing with the guitar! => = Répets muscle.
Gets it easy to sound good? ... yes, it is a plug n play guitar:
and you plug it sounds. and of course with a compressor and a wah, a phaser or chorus, it's huge. let alone OD or distortion who sing the guitar. the sound is balanced, but I avoid the neck pickup on the rhythm is too loaded bass. by a lead against greasy lover or solo kills.
SOUNDS
I play on a hughes & kettner attax 100 preamp and a lamp mfx VOX TONELAB ..
and some native plugins on inxtruments guitar rig or ik multimedia AmpliTube
As stated above, the sound goes from "hot" to "fat" and ç'est well balanced ..
but it sure is the opposite of a telecaster with birch handle!
OVERALL OPINION
I have 10 years and I have tried almost everything .. I had strato, Tele, ES, flying v, explore .. U.S. and other rosewood handles or birch
all sold (each time to buy something else ..!) except LP gibson epiphone and explore.
a gibson is not given, but its worth it. if you have the dosh and that is the sound you are looking for, do not hesitate to lasseras you do not!
but models are "cheap" in Gibson lately I do not know if there are mods, passke wood prices and wages have not declined in states it seems .. and the dollar as much.
gibson rocks!
