Best value: Poor
Good on paper this LP gre lot: beautiful woods, made in good microphones and USD.
I will not repeat the dtail, see below.

UTILIZATION

So it's the other thing: the guitar is a LP studio finishing trs simple (I want to say plutt mdiocre ...). The main problem is at its handle, fairly thick and wide, I find no binding trsdsagrable use: it's hard to walk around on the stick and the CASC to acute is harder than on other LP.
The body is quite nice but the same, we feel that the finish is not trs shoot, the lacquer layer Paisse only accentuated the impression of "coarse"

SOUNDS

L is plutt got a story. I test a Mesa Triple Rectifier stack and personal well I find the sound a bit messy, not trsdfini. This is a history of preferences, it may agree some looking for a little saturation "grimey".

OVERALL OPINION

Trs trsdu this guitar. I think it has the name of Gibson, for me it's a guitar sham "and yeah I have a Gibson guitar Made in America" ​​while his finishing is not an Epi LP suprieure standard. The craziest is that cete guitar s'achte new for 1500!
APRS this test I took out my Epi LP Custom Ace Frehley (DiMarzio) and I connected to the mesa and well y'avais no photos, distos were much cleaner, the sound more Dfine The finish much nicer and comfortable to boot. The owner of the studio could not get him to hallucinate and even the sound of the Epi.
In conclusion, we must really try and love this guitar and its distinctive sound before you buy. Do not buy especially not by saying: "I have not in the standard for when I take the studio"; surtoutr for 1500, even as a still super expensive for what it is. If you want good sound for 1000-1500 Les Paul, buy an Epi LP custom plutt + and keep only the (beautiful) violin and change pickups and hardware (or electronic). You will come out for 600 for the scratches and you put as much as you want in the upgrade (400 parat trs has me well) and the output you get a wonderful guitar with a sound that hard.
