Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded '60s Neck

Objective approach:

The data sheet of this guitar is available on the internet for fainants and those galrent with the internet, it is:

On a guitar with a body in two pieces of mahogany with a maple table 2 AA spices
Factory in Magrheb, assembles in Bolivia and Contrle in Turkey
features two double alnico V windings
a slecteur of tonality and volume by micro
a carved handle 1 pice al certi a rosewood fingerboard
Price: more than 2,000.00 euros
Pay new price: EUR 1'086.00



Subjective approach:
The guitar is very nice, very rounded and harmonious in its forms. The faded finish adds a little something sympathetic. The instrument seems fragile, would not only because of the part that connects the head to the handle, not offsets, or inclination of the stick fairly brand. I would have the balls to graft it a strong tie. I also notice that the sleeve junction / body is not organic.

Wholesale BOUUUUUH ... for woodwork that are average and represent what we might find on a good Corenne mij guitar or medium range (verdtres beautiful reflections for wood table, which emerge Particular larly according to the lighting, but not trops pictured). Lacquering is appos slapdash, it is reparque particulirement prs of dcoupe for hand or a wooden one discovers downright piqu (poorly sanded if you prf ground), nets are finished hastily, I have found the chip in some gaps of the guitar, a frieze at the handle ds 11me fret. THE BODY IS MADE OF TWO PIECES MAHOGANY BONDED. For more than 2,000 euros, not trssrieux. !dropoff Window

[3] no wood splits and means for the price.

USE

Ergonomics is gibsonnienne. I am surprised very much cash the weight of the beast, even on long concerts, but the weight remains inadapt frle for a teenager. The handle D, Profile 60's lets him take control and allows a fast game, the frets are well polished and quickly found his repres for a multitude of styles. The access to agus is bad compared to what is happening on the market. The lack of split is unfortunate.

It is very easy to get a good sound with this instrument.

[6] Sonoriquement effective ergonomics of yesterday and ask for certain concessions.

SONORITS

The scope of this guitar is interesting. When empty, there is a agu singing a mdium inflated and rsonnant grave with a very good overall sustain, this is confirmed by plugging the device into an amplifier.

The sound of alnico V is unique and change the sound of the 498T pickups and other more vintage character I could try.

Acquires a nice clean, like a guitar be used in rock records, pop and blues. Until a gain on 7/8, she is effective and well Business detail. Pass this limit, I find the sound and pushed trops moin pleasant. Note also that the sound is very "mushy" hot position, which may be a characteristic of some research. The sonorits with potentiomtre of Tone on light are very beautiful, all intermediaries positions bring something. Nothing is cast.

She will make a good tool for fans of fusion and crossover styles that want to have more sounds in a same instrument. It is also very pleasant to use in a pop record thanks to its crystal clear sound clean. I also found intressante for jazz and blues uses.

[9] intressante very sonically

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for three weeks. I PRVU to sell it for more than what I had bought and eventually I'll keep it for a while. I like its sounds and its ct "Swiss army knife of sound." By-against, its catalog price is ridiculously lev and nothing justifies it. If I am using the latter, the report qualitprix is ​​very bad and it is not advisor. Note that the ergonomics are questionable and that seems pretty fragile for professional use with trips in airplane cargo holds.

If you find it for 1,000 euros and a few that I pay it is a honest price for an instrument that will ensure good audio performance.

[2] Price / Performance net dfaveur, the market offers more advisable for this price. In addition, for each buy guitar, you encourage the US economy, and thus indirectly the war in the world. For those who want a Les Paul and wish the quality you can turn to manufacturers such as Tokai, Jet, Dean (with its premium Evo) or Xavier Petit and get away with reports perf / most compelling price.
Note [5] is the average home

USE

Profile Channel 60's rocked!
Weight down, she followed a diet, I think there must have cavits and saw the empty sound ... it's even a certainty.
What to say about the varnish, very very thin layer, the wood breathe and I think it directly affects the sonority.
Drawback, fragile, but good with any guitar is made ATTENTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .... eh? Gentlemen enculs that break their hardware to play it, no respect for the instrument and its history and the worst is that it is thanks to this instrument they have arrived in the then it's like hitting her mother ...
Well I ADOPTED, t is not the subject and I m'nerve alone!
Ha well if I put my hand into the mouth of Johnny halliday, not only because it breaks but it also can not play short ...................... ............. These people are unworthy of the guitar!

SONORITS

Branch in a mesa fifty two and a Marshall JMP-1 modifibr /> boss effects and baffles marshall V30.
BEAUTIFUL SON!
Cherry Sunburst finish Hritage nothing like the pictures found on the sites of sale or even gibson, it is not the same .... we are in shades of guitars from Slash or Jimmy Page. I can not put a photo on my profile "file too large" but maybe later.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Acquired since December 2007.
Before I got "gibson"
-the 1997 paul studio
-sg spcial
Ben frankly, nothing to do with the studio!
Dj burstbukers are the microphones that take you so far in the sound ....
In his clear, it's beautiful, before buying, I thought to splitter mics as I do on all my guitars, "and yet I know not even if possible 4 or 2 drivers? ...
"In short, it is useless! The bridge pickup is great teeth, severe and very warm vintage sound does not bleed and possde a very high definition and then I come across a skyscraper o position "medium" is intrressante than others. HA yeah, I am the imprssionn !!!
Qualitprix? pfff then l is the top, bought new for 1400 euros .... no comment!
Saturation, it really is, pardon the exprssion, A MONSTER!
Damn the potato, gibson grain, precision, in short everything is nothing missing.

Comparison with microphones 490/498 standarts there has on others;
- So "Burstbucker pro". It has a more biting, less round, more modern and vintage paradoxically more time.
It intends to attack the mdiator, you will be in serious slam attack more heat, in short it is HUGE! Notes sing.
I tend acute lower tonality 7/10 for "my" sound, but otherwise it's a lot of output level despite mV annoncs is bleuffant!
Dchire it all! His / sthtique! I'm on a cloud with my les paul, she can not disappoint me is impossible.
I do not know if it's still manufactures and imports, after several of vendors is the latest models, mine "finish and handle profile" was the only one available in stock in France when I have purchased and its rating was already more than nine Leve average price, is to say, it seems that even the arrterait because it makes too much shade the "standard" and "classics" so it's a great guitar and less chre.
Well I'll arrter lodges because I could write a novel.
For any questions, do not hesitate,.
Go a default, they could have put the mechanical oil baths ........
If one day I fall asleep Gibson, lol I would put on my floyd signed model ................... good I know ... but we have the right to dream.

Two Gibson humbuckers, a type 60 handle, a breathable paint the wood with a fine polish that patina over the years. To summarize, a real Gibson with a soul!

UTILIZATION

I love the Type 60 round, fine, flat.
The guitar is heavy attention to fragile shoulders.
I play a Marshall Class 5 head and a Marshall 4x12 cabinet.

SOUNDS

While the spirit of the Les Paul in this sound. It is hairy, fat, powerful, muscular.
Blues, rock, crunch, its clear .... she can do anything.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased new from Woodbrass and sold off at that time (2007), I do not regret my choice. Besides, I still have it. The natural skating this finish is beautiful.
A real Gibson Les Paul with this character so appreciated by many musicians.

Made in America
22 frets
Tune o matic gibson chrome
60 slim tapper neck
2 zebra pickups Burstbucker Pro Alnico V
2 volumes 2 tones
3-position selector
Faded tobacco finish bust
Table AA maple and mahogany coprs
Binding of copra and handle aged cream
comes with a hard case gibson United States

The remains of a quality finish with slight defects GIBSON anyway (the ESP are much better finish anyway). It's still not very serious on the part of Gibson frets to the first price that wear their guitars at a phenomenal rate and often tune the guitar while ltd € 400 to have high end frets earvana !
And chrome tailpiece and bridge was tarnished in the space of seven years ... In short it is not very serious for a guitar at this price! I will therefore put 8 because of these two problems! But all have the same GIBSON defects fintion 50 years since then ...

For cons for future buyers, I want to say that before going to see the guitar on the spot, I was not really excited to finish seeing the faded pictures on the net. No hidden microphone and satin .... yuck. It's old and ugly! I thought, I'll put him on a pair of micro cache and make it a polish home shines! And above all it is a true standard!
But arrived and discovered the guitar, it is sublime! She has a real vintage look vintage! And finally it is pretty enough to be admired! The glaze is shiny and dull in some places due to the guitar but the finish looks a little retro on a gibson, frankly, I think it suits her. You would think out a treasure that remained for 40 years in the attic!
Before judging, must see with his own eyes!
For my part, I will finally leave home full!
Be careful though the varnish very fragile and easily show that leaves scratches and marks on the back table of the guitar! To take great care!


UTILIZATION

The neck is excellent, pluto round dish but I love (the same as my sg).
This handle allows a very fast paced and easy solos.
It is true that the agreements and rhythmic, the handle 50 rounder and thicker and better, but to walk on the scraper handle is magical!

Weight level, well the beast weighs its weight! And you know you have a real quality guitar and man hands! Mine is in September 2005 and must be in 4.5kg, so your back does not like! But it is a les paul so important weight! What the news does more than 3kg because the body is chambered since 2008 and they seem to sound a little different.


Access to acute is actually quite simple even if access is not worth a sg. Fortunately, the handle 60 allows easier access and quick.

I put a 9 because access to acute not worth a good sg or an ibanez! Otherwise is is very simple to use.

SOUNDS

I play on a Marshall JCM900 and is not to say, the guitar sounds of hell!
The sound is that of the les paul standard greasy and powerful at a time.
The two burstbuckers do their job and you can get a variety of different sound:
- The bridge pickup can sound very powerful and slamming distortion and clean, perfect for solos and heavy rhythmic
- The two pickups together can sound melodious and arpeggios in this
- The neck pickup has a very thick and bold, very bluesy and jazz, but also perfect for rhythm and solos stifled (listen to the guitar's gun slash of pink sweet child of mine and you will understand! Is the same sound )

In comparison with my sg which has the 490R and 498T, the Burstbucker are fatter and thicker, but much less precise and modern.
It's like comparing the sound to slash angus youg! This is exactly the difference in sound between the two guitars.

I use it for rock, blues, hard rock and even metal with a pedal digitech metal master, and frankly it sounds!
This guitar is made to send on stage and fart solos not possible! Put it on the chin as it were the other, but need to know to play well!

For over 50 years that all the guitarists on the planet is the tear! It deserves a 10/10!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought a few weeks ago only € 1000!
Otherwise the guitar was in serious need of an adjustment handle tailpiece bridge, cleaning, and also a change because the nut low E string vacuum curly!
But once all this done and a few dollars spent, the guitar is a gem! It sounds like a hell of true standard strings are nearly on the handle frieze without it (like my sg for that matter)
She has a real personality that I love vintage finally! They really thought about the 1959 reissue Les Paul with his flamed table.
I tried the custom that I did not like too big for his neck (rounded 59) and the studio that I did not like either for its handle even bigger (round 50) and his real lack of personality (the guitar is too muffled and the sound does not come out!).
For my purchase, I hesitated a esp eclipse II tobacco bust fintion level which was wonderful and a terrible sound!
But my choice is leaning my gibson for this myth, and especially because the Japanese lack of personality!
Gibson guitars are frankly something .... One gets the impression they are alive when you play with! SI SI! Just try to empty that they speak and to hear that they vibrate in harmony everywhere! It is a sensation that was not with the other brands of vintage Fender guitars exception or custom!
If you like me to find the € 1000, I think you will not regret your choice at this price because we have a REAL GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD!
Unfortunately it has not long been produced and it is rare to get used. She'll be climbing the next few years because it is a rating limited edition ...
I always wanted to have one and voila! It's a dream come true! And must for a guitarist to own one one day!
It deserves a 10/10.
