Manufacturing USA, of course! Channel '50 guy. 22 frets. Duo pickups '57 Classic and Classic 57 'More. Two volumes and two tones.
Mahogany body and not rosewood as I have read in a review right here, mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, maple table: in short, a Les Paul!
Mine is color Honey Burst, absolutely sublime.

UTILIZATION

The handle of '50 type is assumed the bulk of the Gibson catalog. Certainly bigger than the Slim Taper '60s, he did not act either a log! I particularly appreciate. The weight of my model totaled 4kg2, but therefore very light compared to my other 4kg9 LP Traditional ebony!
I get a good sound? I want!!

SOUNDS

This guitar is suitable for all styles of music. I do not see what we could not play with LP!
Everything is perfect here: all sounds are at your fingertips in the extent that it is understood that volume settings AND tone used to something.
This queen is ringing on any amp and I know she is able to remain as good even on a transistor amplifier. I remember my LP Custom on an amp Lab L5 or L7 (that I'm so sure!) And it sounded! Well, the Lab were not any transistor amp ...
This differs from my other Traditional Trad in that it offers an aerial sound where Ebony is definitely my "earth". I want to say is that both offer course the sound characteristics you would expect from a Les Paul but that such position, in a way, their voices at different "heights". The Ebony ramp, dull and heavy fleet when Honey, ethereal and light.

OVERALL OPINION

Yes, I've tried guitars and I have owned! The Les Paul is my first love and is again today, my favorite guitar, the one I am perfectly at ease, one with which I am in total harmony. I play better on LP than on any other guitar. I get the desired sound only on a Les Paul. I know exactly how she reacts, how it responds to changes in its tone controls and volume, how it behaves in the attacker closer to the bridge or the neck. In short, I know.
The quality / price is very good. The perfect finish, the quality of wood used, electronics and microphones fully justify its price.
