All user reviews for the Gibson Les Paul Standard 50's

Factory "Made in America" ​​has just Nashville. The model I have is a Gibson Les Paul Standart 2002 with a 50's neck profile (more round than the 60's) Heritage Cherry Sunburst color. The pickups are Burstbucker Pro (Micro included in the range of Les Paul Standart was from 2002 before they taient teams of 490R and 498T. The body is mahogany table with a bomb grade Saddle Flamm AA binding. I bought it new around 2500Euros

UTILIZATION

As everyone knows the handle of Gibson is not a very comfortable compartment or other stratocaster guitar. It is quite heavy. Access in acute when it is rather difficult of the shape of the guitar (Les Paul type). But against all these dfaults gives SOUND. For me it's really the type of sound I'm looking either to Funk, Rock and reagge for me. The dfaults are quickly forgotten even faster Lorqui has been between the beautiful little fingers ...

SOUNDS

For my part I play as I said above the Rock, Funk and reagge, this guitar is perfect in my typre music. I plugged into a Marshall JCM2000 DSL 401. Whether clear or saturated we obtain a good quality sound trs hot hitting, crunch (according to rglages). I love the saturated and clear.

OVERALL OPINION

I got the month of February 2005. It took me time to think because 2500euros's still a nice amount but try to force I broke down and I did well because I have no regrets. This is THE guitar I expected. In terms of price quality ratio they are expensive but "OH WHAT IS THE GOOD". If I do it again, I would do the shopping. If you try it DARK do not think.

I possde a GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD 2004 colored "vintage sunburst" and equipped with microphones "Burstbucker pro". The handle is of type "50" which is closest to the handle of the original Les Pauls in '58 and '59 Annes.

UTILIZATION

The quality wood (mahogany neck and body of South American, Canadian table Saddle) helps sustain exceptionel of this guitar, but also makes it quite heavy. This problem is fairly easy ressoudre: just use a belt wide enough and well Molton. My neck, despite Whether it's a '50 MODEL, is not at all heavy and can play fast solo's with no problem. The finish of the guitar is superb.

SOUNDS

I possde also a Gibson Les Paul Custom. The distortion of the guitar is trs, trs "fat" and "loud", individualism perfect sound but in concert it's a little lost in the shuffle.
For cons, the Les Paul Standard a micro's (Burstbucker pro) much less powerful than the custom. These are burstbuckers conus to reproduce the sound of Les Paul Standard '58 (so sought-. It is mainly the average frquences dominate (making the sound "nasal", but be careful not to sense pjoratif the term).
In beginners, j'tais a little by his (compare my custom) but as measuring rptitions and concerts, I have learned appreciate it. Indeed, in the tumult gnral group, I finally sound that is present and well Dlimi. The frequencies do not mlangent with bass, vocals & drums. The solo's are distinct while retaining its warm and pleasant! The microphone allows a less powerful as his bluesy, jazzy and the (hard) rock, just push the gain of the amp a little further.
The clean is clean and friendly.
INFINITE SUSTAIN AND IS !!!!!!

OVERALL OPINION

Well, I play again rock hard (70s and 80s). This guitar is idalie for me. I could do without (it is CHRE, but I do not regret this purchase)
The combination "Gibson" and "marshall lamp" is perfect, I play on two TSL 100 in Stereo and the power of this set gives you a real "kick". It's not for nothing that great guitarists use this combination (Gary Moore, Angus Young, Slash, Jimmy Page, ... and many others).
I had Fenders, Ibanez, Music Man, Epiphone and others, but nothing beats the Les Paul Standard (my opinion )!!!!

Guitar made in Nashville United States
Solid body, mahogany body, mahogany neck glued, rosewood fingerboard 22 frets.
Tune-o-matic well known.
Mine is in heritage cherry sunburst, beautiful color, I had the chance to fall in store on a table in maple and beautifully Flamée rather dark, I love it.
Good for the rest is what a Les Paul! Versatility is not at the rendezvous at the same time this is not what you asked ...

UTILIZATION

The handle "50 years" is really great, it is rather narrow, very round, very rock. The varnish does not catch you sweat more and it slides (normal you might say).
One thing I like is the balance on that guitar stand or sit is nickel.
The weight is a result that is true but we must stop is widely supported (I made up with 5 hours a day for one week and it will).
For usability, it's a Les Paul: access to acute sensitivity, there is no speed of a guitar shredder (do not care I do not like shredders ^ ^) and touch the instrument is extraordinary, it breathes.
To find her, it is found, it is a Les Paul, Les Paul that sounds ...
The knobs respond very well on a tube amp can spend them thanks to a clean overdrive (yes ^ ^)

SOUNDS

HIS ha ........
HUGE!
While there is great art.
Neck pickup: very hot, very round, the microphones are ideal burstbuckers pro me, it does not slam, but a stratum c deeper, more powerful too: excellent.
Pickup: More aggressive, it keeps the hot side but it's still drier should not kid ourselves.
So in fact it is a killer: with my jcm 800 is a vamp (watch this couple is very distinctive and it drools a desire in the low, it's so great).
For the intermediate position between the two cell c no surprise ...
Again it is not versatile fat, round, creamy, warm is very typical.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year and it's simple: I am more pleased.
I had the chance to buy euros in 2275 just as new gibson venain revise its prices (before it was 3200 euros, there is a difference of chouille ^ ^).
I hesitated a moment with the prs custom 22 I try to shop and my two choices (or my fingers) were worn on the gibson.
I do it again the obvious choice.
In addition it is a piece of history that will buy the same time.
HAPPINESS!

Well here's a les paul standard and it is super brilliant
-Made in United States
Micro-burstucker alnico v
-Mahogany body (be alleviated somewhat but I do not think)

Table-maple (hard to tell mine and ebony =))
Volume 2 -2 3 position switch tonalite
-And that's it ...
mine is brand new 2 months she is one of the latest model is no longer manufactured it is really beautiful black and white

UTILIZATION

Not much adire is a les paul so access to acute, low weight inevitably disabling (but I'm like a masochist).
but the handle and just incroyble it's just delirium I was young guitarist asser asser require my guitar is I'm not deu.
they told me that the model 60 'was better for having essaiyer I say to you there not really my ecstasy he is but no more so than the race of the 50' is simply a highway

So 9

SOUNDS

Ha the last I'll be able to let off steam on my keyboard

the original microphone are not bad for a max medium (for rock's great) but lacks dynamic.

coarse gibson (crunh immediate playing on volume)

but I change the microphone for the duet ggagnant (for me) has an information kit seymour duncan (pearly gate in neck and bridge in a sh4 and could * beep * n generated hatches
I will not boast the micro because it is already done.

I thought it would be a bad mix bahh ET j'me'm wrong on any line.
is the pearly fabulleux he's a very heavy bass, that fits in the gibson is very bluesy.

when the low level of sh4 is just out enorment ca crunch even more than before for very good hard rock (joe perry has a standard mount bill lawrence l-220 in handle and a bridge in sh4)

I think when testing the same bill lawrence asser but hard to find for the price of the pickup

So before 7 with original microphone and now 10

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is just a killing if you see one has a resonable price (because it is not given either) does not hesitate a second longer he remains in nine as the 50's neck has been Eclips by the model 60'neck thinner and flatter type 59 while the model 50 is similar to the curve of a 58 no doubt is my favorite

The Gibson Les Paul has been one of the most iconic guitars ever released, and when people generally think of Les Pauls, they imagine this model. It features everything you'd find on a regular Les Paul guitar -- a mahogany body with maple top, set mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, 22 frets, TOM bridge, pickguard, binding, two volumes, two tones, a three way switch and vintage-looking tuners.

UTILIZATION

The LP is, despite its problems, a pretty nice guitar. For me, I have a few issues with the guitar such that the guitar is back heavy (meaning the body is very heavy in relation to the neck), the heel can get in the way of soloing and the tuners absolutely suck. Aside from that, they're really good guitars. I especially like the 12'' radius which helps with both action and bending.

SOUNDS

I've never been a huge fan of stock Gibson pickups in Les Pauls. Some people love them, but they're not for me. Once they're replaced, I find that Les Pauls tend to sound absolutely huge. However, I also like to go one step further and replace the electronics. These guitars tend to have 330k pots, and I find humbuckers sound best with 500k pots instead. Once that's done, this thing really opens up and breathes fire. The two volume knobs and two tone knobs add tons of versatility, and while the standard three way switch isn't the most versatile in terms of options, it's the most practical in terms of what most people use all the time. These things can really do everything from blues to death metal, and plugging one of these into a Marshall amp is pure bliss.

OVERALL OPINION

Quality control on Gibson guitars has been slipping, so I highly recommend playing a bunch until you find the one you like. However, once you find that special one, hold onto it forever as I guarantee it'll sound huge and destroy most of the competition out there. When looking for a Les Paul, pay particular attention to tuning stability and fretwork as those tend to be the two biggest problems.
