UTILIZATION
The handle is it nice?
- Channel type 50 rounded (between 58 and 59) I love
Furthermore, by setting the "PLEK system" allows for all freight paid exactly the same height, which was absolutely not the case before!
Ergonomics is good?
- There is talk of the Les Paul huh? if you read it is that you know what to expect right?
Access to acute?
- My fingers are not long enough ...
Do you get a good sound easy?
- Ahhh ... finally a good question! YES!!
SOUNDS
Are they adequate for your style of music?
- I play mostly Hard Rock and Metal and it performs superbly in all styles if you know a bit know how to set an amp!
What types of sounds you get and with what settings?
- Although fat and mushy on the neck pickup and bridge pickup on vintage
With what (s) amp (s) or effect (s) do you play?
- Line6 Spider Valve MkII all lamps
What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
- I love the neck pickup in the clear as saturated, it's the sound of a Les Paul, among many other recognizable, often copied, never equaled!
The bridge pickup is a bit limited for the metal, it is not his strong point, it is perfect for the small distortion or crunch. In his clear, it was just OK, while we prefer the middle position.
OVERALL OPINION
How long you use it? Did you tried many other models before buying it?
- I have played on quite a Les Paul for 20 years (at least fifty), the early '70s to 2011 (I have not tested the Standard 2012).
My preference has always focused on models of the early 90s, both the Studio, Standard, Classic or Custom.
Well this wine I was particularly impressed and reminded of the famous LP Standard for 90 years
The guitar has a mahogany body full swiss cheese (9 holes), a handle 50 'rounded, a Rosewood fingerboard, (which is becoming increasingly rare Gibson), a maple top, Alnico 2 in a microwave handle, and the small difference comes from the bridge pickup was an Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 now, or the lack of fishing, otherwise it's just a standard of 90 years!
Besides, I have absolutely not understand why Gibson was named TRADITIONAL while it is in fact a pure STANDARD in its construction!
What is so special that you love the most, least?
- Finally I reconcile myself with the recent Les Paul!! and it's not for lack of trying!!
How would you rate the quality / price?
- This is where I can not believe: she sells an average of 1700-1800 € new! While the so-called "Standard" today, which really is not one, sells for € 2,200 and is completely empty!!
Skip top friends, it probably does not last, not to mention what did the euro, which breaks the mouth and the Dollar climbing in no time they will be a € 2500
With experience, you do again this choice?
- Without hesitating a second, I had become allergic to the 2000s, it took a decade for Gibson stopped selling us crap, it's not too early!
