I preferred to buy in the U.S. so as to be on the guitar has not been disturbed by a dealer benevolent but who can not necessarily do so.
I found a site where large dealer Gibson mentioned the weight of the instrument (my concern LP) and detailed photos of the model sold, I had more chances to buy a guitar straight from the oven!
round handle 59.
WARNING! The key is believed ebony is RichLite, composite utlise also Martin for some keys, although the descriptions of the dealers say it's ebony.
The 2006 that made me want to buy mine was also RichLite.
Side settings, I would have preferred an overall volume control instead of two individual, it's the same for all Les Paul, but it can change.
Difficult to do on the Supreme because it must pass through the plate jack!

UTILIZATION

This is a Les Paul, but supreme.
The average weight 9livres LP, but some 7.2 or 10livres.
Mine 8.6 pounds

SOUNDS

You want to play that goes with the sound of the guitar, and as a wide range is available, you can not stop.
What surprised me most is the side without acoustic amp, which allows working unplug.
Connected, plain neck pickup or both, it is a LP with more body, its close on Larry Carlton's 335. For big sound no surprise, it sends very strong. The LP that I had, luxury 68, 25/50 anniversary, custom shop85 Standard is the most versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months.
For over fifty years since I played, I just tried everything. I still have a couple of guitars, but the Supreme does not duplicate in the park.
The icing on the cake is that you can work without the plug.
The beauty of the instrument itself is worth the price alone, then with SOUND more ...
With experience, I make this choice without hesitation.
