Gibson made in USA Nashville
Mahogany body weight relief: this is not a 100% full body like the old Les Paul was holes to lighten the weight which is the principle of Traditional rooms and not tonal as the Standard
Table in Mahogany and Maple not like most Les Paul
Mahogany neck glued, 22 frets profile 60 keys, Laminated Rosewood, there is always a shortage of Rosewood / Ebony Gibson side, we take advantage of the new find for replacement on series 2012 ...
1 micro Classic 57 in 1 Classic neck and bridge in 57 + (57 + is the most winding 57 relative to baseline)
Button 2 volumes and 2 tones button
Mechanical vintage tulip Bridge Gibson Tune-O-Matic and tailpiece Gibson Stopbar
Nickel fittings

UTILIZATION

The touch is very nice it reminds me of my old BFG after must not be fooled it's Faded but most people say it's not very commercial

SOUNDS

Well I'll compare it against a Les Paul Traditional 60 with the table in Maple, the sound has nothing to do, those who think that the maple table is just for the beauty of the violin it wrong .. . the lack of gloss, it seems more muffled least now that slice is less slobbering too fat middles do not clatter ... it seems that the guitar is not finished it lacks something, a bit like the SG ... roots after it is those who enjoy that side will be delighted but I is not what I expect from a Les Paul, for that I have a SG

OVERALL OPINION

A point that bothers me, the key Rosewood Laminate, the side assembling a mille feuille of Rosewood with glue, as it is means to compensate find problems Gibson (2009 Fraud) is the limit foutage mouth ... in time to see what it's worth
Faded finish term reserved now on the Studio Satin Std Trad and we like it or not, a matter of taste after all
The black dot: the sound, SG thicker side ...
The positive side: the look with a custom microphone zebra, the mechanical Grover round metal plate without ... Magnificent
The quality / price € 1599 I think it is not terrible, as will the opportunity to market this price was much better
