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!
