All user reviews for the Gibson Les Paul Traditional

I will not dwell on the technical details since, in outline, if you clicked here, you know full well that this is a lespaul and what makes up roughly one lespaul.

I take this opportunity just to correct a statement underneath the varnish is not nitro-cellulose, but that this is the now widespread, nitro lacquer finish. The handle is on the instrument simply stuck to the heel without artifice particular. Wood is a Brazilian mahogany (Source LesPaul forum).

----------

If I take the look, I admit that Gibson has done his homework. Those who remember my tests throughout the 2000s know that I tended to fall on the scandalous stuff in Gibson jersey (not straight, nail poorly marked, runs, settings again, polishing frets over again, ect) . On this guitar, everything is in place. I would note, however, finish a bit dull, with woods to look after all very standard.

I also specify for noobs, that guitar is not chambered, but has some holes that have been carried over into the electronic part in order to use less precious mahogany and Allege, therefore, a guitar that would otherwise become too heavy.

Note 7 seems to me perfectly justified. It was a good guitar, not flashy or spectacular finished.

UTILIZATION

Terms of use, the maximum harvest guitar that I distribute to lespaul despite some moyennetées found here and there. First, the sweetness of play is not complete, we are comfortably seated, but do not reach the playability of a tokai ls360 or a Gibson RI59. There is a tiny chouille below. By-cons, this increased resistance cords under your fingers is good for those who want to kick it without going through (as is the case for the two references above).

SOUNDS

The guitar sound showed low potency in the whole spectrum, with the exception of the treble and high mids who turned more sharply than the rest. I did not have several models of its kind on hand during my test, but in general, a model X of a Gibson LP does sound very rarely like his sister. That's why you can not say it enough, ALWAYS BUY LP YOU ACTUALLY TRIED. This kind of guitar can not be bought over the Internet. The 300 euro you save, you will lose it again the day of sale. You have been warned.

Treble stopped for my taste a little too soon. He lacked the air at high frequencies and bass had a tendency to slightly boomer if we went back into the ropes. But the sound was a lot of substance in the medium, as in the grave; hauts-médiums/aigus and were very well represented in the spectrum.

The responsiveness of the instrument is very good and we may well develop the nuances of play that are transcribed by the guitar. Be careful with microphones that tend to hire the game They are nervous and show a highly distinguished, even at low gain. By-cons, they offer the grain, gain, and show good for all uses except the clean insanity.

Overall I thought the sound was good. Better even than the standard 2008. Definitely too analytical and polished for me and just missing his Les Paul.

For cons, I found it did not twang, ease dynamic and detailed highs and radiating the tokai ls195, the most fierce competitor of that lp (between 1400-1800 euro).

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, it's a very good instrument in terms of sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

On this plan. My rating is very average for Gibson, despite having made efforts in its prices and quality on European soil, is still ill-placed in relation to its competitive pricing, especially on the Swiss market or guitar that is displayed around the 2500 euros.

I also appreciated for this investment, woodwork and services that are commensurate with the investment. None of that on this instrument.

I can, again, noting that the Swiss market, no protectionism, the Japanese Navigator as Tokai guitars are available at prices close to the Japanese price, if you know where to look. So, this LP is crushed on the plan and must play the role of hired gun. Both competing ring of hell and are even more enjoyable / nuanced playing.

By-cons, the advantages of this Gibson is that you can find just about anywhere. Everyone does not have the patience / connection of an archaeologist to go find a rare gem among small vendors.

The service before, as after sale of Gibson Switzerland is strongly discouraged. It is in fact what is worse at the European level with WHV Paris and two other three swindlers like that.

Bon bah Made in USA ^ ^ uh bah as if the others do all at gibson.com and then chose these micro 57 and 57 + classic I was fortunate to have a good handle fairly thick type 50 if I remember rightly one of the largest round Gibson (I have not said the biggest ^ ^) 22 fret 2 volume 2 tone Les Paul type what's more normal it are a brief thereafter.

UTILIZATION

Neck: I was pleasantly surprised when my friend in a store salesman told me I have a guitar that you ... I was testing is rather metalheads and a little geek time, the shock was impressive short jsui not to do my CV unlike what we think is pretty fast and nice (I compared with an ibanez round cake lol), the balance of the guitar suits me very well and is better now than on SG which falls on the side of the handle, the weight ... Gibson not need to say more good agree if it's heavy but frankly we would not buy gibson otherwise. Access to acute are very obvious: / it must be recognized. Well after u have ever felt the same way that everybody does not sound that microphones brothel ... If not already think the brand has to look for all the grate the ligther gibson gold does not hesitate to put us one block of 250 kilo ... short as a result of weight and micro (I did not say that its not play) the sound are pretty easy to get out on any type of amp I plugged into a rocker 30, a vintage modern, a 6505, and a jvm a peavey who art mine's a bandit 112 not bad but brief.

SOUNDS

I play mostly rock hard rock tou these machin ... Bourin but even clean his fumbles with the dough but not hyper briant Elsewhere damage to short it suits me vai I keep it longer than I wanted. can Taté all styles with this versatile grate is well despite his penchant bluesy rock but I play it all after each his own. as stated above I just put it in a peavey bandit 112 not bad its pretty Sonen metal vai me but I caught a rocker30 I like her too. I love the heavy sound of the grate and uh I hate ... bah nothing obviously

OVERALL OPINION

After 1 year of use I am pleased finally soon I initially wanted to direct me to a PRS but its not too attracted to the final level sounds the traditional look of this guitar or its name attracted me more than others I really felt like having the best of Gibson in my hands finally here is brief. I love the weight and the sounds of the grate so surprising for the weight but I really like and do not mind I'm just standing for hours (until when I know ...) Despite a price rather consaquent if you come across a good clean finish and all as I have had this chance you tighten delighted compare to others who are more dear to me and my good ... I would do without a doubt this election is certain.

Thank you for reading the story of my life lol Keep on rock'in the Free World to everyone and let you Bercz by the power of hard rock people
In passing that the 9 because perfection does not exist

Made in USA, Mahogany body and neck, Maple top, body has holes to reduce weight, although less than the standard model which is hollow Oo, finally I think I taught you nothing. ^ ^
handle 50, a truncated tree but it's so good!
I got this guitar dificult because the model "Honey Burst" (most enjoyable) was in stock at any store or website can I find it a pity!
of beautiful finishes for a great guitar, has nothing to say to the level she is beautiful, the head of the bridge is a marvel!
I just change the buttons parcque those of its origin but its ugly they're crazy ...
The classic humbuckers 57 and 57 + typed a bit of vintage is pure happiness, in short XD

UTILIZATION

A handle terribly good (it just does not like at all, I was very surprised when my first test and it took time to adapt.)
It is much too heavy but it is reflected in the sound, the lightest standard is sacrificed for me but it depends on is that we put a priority of the sudden she tends not to remain quietly on his belt when you run in trance music, which is why I installed straplocks, which allows the strap to clip to the body, it's cheap and good-or the nightmare is its neighboring Gibson geule break! ^ ^
A rather poor access to acute fau say but hey it's quickly forgotten when the weakness sound! XD

SOUNDS

The good thing is happening to more serious, I play Punk, Rock, Funk, Grunge, and everything is the stuff, sometimes I also get up in the morning and make the metal too much trash.
This guitar has a short definite potential in matters of distortion, it will be you ask him, 3 positions is little but its enough! ^ ^
it is very clean in round bluesy sounds, from funk to hard but with a good pedal and the fact his neck pickups!
A certain sound quality, a huge and ample sustain a presence Supreme ... bha jvais to 10!
If you have the opportunity to try, it's expensive but if you love it does not tell ... not true? XD


OVERALL OPINION

its been a lil over a month that can separate me ^ ^
I tried many guitars, Stratocaster (not bad hehe! a clean unforgettable), jaguar (as weird gear but we never know), lag imperator (a monster), the standard model, ESP eclipse (that of violence ^ ^ ) then it is what I chose for his presence, his Louque, and sonoritée hell!
the price is pain in the ass and thought-provoking but hey .. vau on his shot at the base I was far from being attracted by Gibson, I thought she was too well known, industrial and commercial, I was party to a lag imperator, a good French ^ ^ and then after trying ... the lag is downright terrible, she vale broadly, the rate vintage and handle well round the Gibson made her take over, simply filled jsuis!! XD
