All user reviews for the Gibson Les Paul Standard

My model is 1993 Cherry Sunburst color, manufactured Nashville
490R and 498T pickups
Easel Shaller (chang there one year old was oxidized)
It's not made in China anyway.

USE

The neck is super enjoyable, a real trip to solos and slides.
Damage to the center of gravity but hey, act of all it offers great ... therefore thought forget this climbs.
A Gibson Les Paul when it decides to buy one, we immediately know it's not lightweight, you have a good, wide strap. The FA Cup allows easy access to acute

SONORITS

It sends an incredible potato while on an all-tube amp ENGL, orange, or even a marshall vox, but happiness !!! It is very versatile but to a certain style Strat is good. I go from blues to rock, Mark Knopfler to Pink Floyd, she likes everything.
The biggest carnage is to play on an amp DRIVE 15W 50 euros (old amp from a friend) to clean not too much gain, the receiver spits. (Long Drive)

NOTICE GLOBAL

I will not talk too much guitar but rather love, I fairait entrrer with. I have 20 years and 70 years j'spre always have my sides. I also have a custom Gibson Lp (That I will sell), but it's always a real pleasure to play with but hey, I have not had real feelings for her, there were not nothin my guitar life.
With experience, yes, I say ouiii
Bientt Gibson acoustic? hum

1988 guitar bought in 1988 cherry red sunburst
Beautiful color ...

USE

Well mine weighs a dead donkey, the handle is nice my taste, the access to acute not great compared to guitars "modern", the sound is very clear round and warm using two microphones.
The sound in saturated lead in bridge position is quite "dirty" was not his "surgical" with this type of guitar (at least with my model) in position c neck is warm and sustaineux on high strings but to s that you attack the bass sound quickly becomes mushy ...



SONORITS

I play for a tube amp sound a little dirty blues drooling c is all good
for the big rock style Led Zeppelin etc etc c is also good for against for modern and precise saturations lead I do not think it's the guitar that you need ...

-Manufactures in the United States, all original. rating: 9

UTILIZATION

- A little round handle, trs enjoyable.
- Heavy guitar (hard, play hard with 5am!)
- Access in acute good but the heel of the handle is made from one pice complicated CSTA for those who want to play notes on-treble.
- The sound is, I think, amazing: round, warm, with a trs good sustain. APRS, all a matter of got ... Note 8 (because of the weight!)

SOUNDS

- Suitable for guitar rock, sounds fat (type rolling stones, ac / dc, zz top jazz ...), but also for his round and velvety. More difficult to play funky!
- I use an amp line 6 spider 75w

Rating: 8 (for its lack of flexibility)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 1995
- I also have a Start, a Hohner pick soul, and I had an ibanez and SG. This has me really incomparable.
- I like the sustain, the big sound that can be drawn in saturation and roundness to the rhythm.
- I regret his lack of versatility and is not a floyd rose tremolo type
- It is an instrument trs expensive but the quality award.
- Yes I do it again this choice without hsiter but you have to know what you want to do with because "this price, you can not go wrong!

This is an American-built in 2008. This is still done on models classiqueet not with the new technology appeared in 2008 to manufacture the handle (Plek).
Its handle is of type '60 very pleasant. The rest is a Les Paul with two humbuckers type Burstbucker Pro. Its color is Ligjt Burst.

UTILIZATION

The handle is of type '60 as mentioned above and for my part I prefer the handle type '50. But that's a matter of taste and should be tested both at the same time to account for the difference. The small downside is that the lining of the back of the neck because it can become sticky to use (with sweat). This can be resolved either by the intervention of a luthier who will remove some of varnish or after several years of use, the handle will be weathered and no longer suffer from this problem

SOUNDS

The sound is that of a Les Paul type rather modern and not vintage, this because of Burstbucker Pro are quite aggressive and have a high output. I for one who likes to play hard rock to 80 years now, they conviennet very well. For the blus its handle is really "creamy" and provides an excellent atmosphere.
For my part I plug this into a Les Paul Marshall JVM and the assembly is excellent.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one year. I tried many other Les Paul but still imitation and there is still the quality of the brand emerges.
In my opinion it's a guitar that any rock musician must have a once in a lifetime

So for Madame, a Gibson Les Paul series "special". 22 frets slippery as a jar of petroleum jelly, pleasant as a drink of water after a big thirst. 2 microphones excellent (as it is very personal opinion) two volumes 2tonalits. good bad trip on my model which is contact from time to time when I too Trifouille volume. but that's my problem. Made in United States
the gibson is good, it's heavy, for holders of a CAP loggers c any bonus.
the handle? I found your soulmate. c is a real handle this highway. montpellier paris in 5 minutes anyone? embark ...

UTILIZATION

Access to acute is average. a special technique must be adopted for the bends in the 22nd boxes (yes c no treble the horns ...)
to play sitting down, we are in the field of gymnastics: the guitar and laying on the crotch, you get the mug in front of the 5th box and it's like being in the ass grater instead of other things (yes, I also love the poetry ...) All that to say that the guitar does not fit perfectly to play sitting down, but after an adjustment period.
j otherwise have been difficult in the beginning with the ergonomics of the upper body of the guitar that does not follow the shape of the arm as a sword by exple IBZ. c just a matter of habit then.

SOUNDS

I tinker in the extreme metal and says frankly we arrive easily have a big sound with any amp. good to c, it is not as aggressive as bc but has a personality. finesse in a world of brutailt it sounds good. a lot of guitarists extreme it's MITS (Gojira, I greet you in passing). I play on a Peavy Bandit 112 combo, and even if n is that of the transistor, the sound is nothing ridiculous and enormment of characters, I can have as well a thrash (a fund acute and medium) that death or black (the ice ...) as well as more modern unhealthy.
the ACEC gibson easily adapts the selector 3 is a microphone that sends his rather sharp las stripper on a very hot and the "synthetic" on the bass.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 6 months that I have this monster of violin and I'm afraid to be demanding exxxxtremeent purchase ue next guitar, even if we frankly do not want to change ... at least after stopping by the les paul g great difficulty in my resume that will end IBZ s ACORD rust or if the choice c this guitar c ... in short the dream of any guitarist who has come to me doubt on any aspect of this gem, I pay him a stay in Chechnya.

SOUNDS

Y'en who still doubts the existence of the comparison sound Gibson, Epyphone ...
No luck I have both ... The sound of a good Marshall Stack lamp is enjoyable. Lovers of metal, trash, rock fusion will go down again over the earth. This guitar is the perfect icon (I think) of the electric guitar for the little one is not gaul as asparagus.
The soloist of your group's interest to invest in a guitar that would do serious ensures that you follow and do not stain.

OVERALL OPINION

Between us is a love story that adbut 4 years by his abandonment of a Fender Strato guitarist ax too. Since it is a day completely DLUR friends that I made. Indestructible and power to wake the dead is a les paul guy there's no history. One of the few skyscrapers in my opinion
able to wipe the ass of prs too prtentieuse. Well okay it is not for nothing but you will not have to buy a thirty-six others

Ditto
a high quality finish of trs from fender.
when I put it on his trpied in the living room is the beautiful +. (APRS my girlfriend)

UTILIZATION

Guitar more difficult to use a stratovolcano.
I removed the firing of 10-46 because I could not pass a fa.
I put the 9-42 and no problem.

SOUNDS

Fabulous tones that are sometimes difficult to tame if you put too much distortion (including micro neck).
incredible sustain.
a personality and warmth vritable. my girlfriend is that she prfre.
small note: it seems to me that the little E string sounds weaker than the other strings in bridge position (??).

OVERALL OPINION

I think it takes 2 guitars that are complementary:
fender for clear sound (provided to the microphones of quality.
gibson for sound ... gibson (and nothing is changed).
purchase price of 14,000 francs 3 years ago (I found it a bit expensive especially since it sounded a little mess on the big amp store, and accustomed to fender, I found his touch a bit hard.
now it is 30% +.
it is expensive but for those who are in love with the guitar, I think a worthwhile.
it may well be the queen.

Guitar made in United States, 22 frets on an enjoyable round profile 60 ', rosewood fingerboard, pickups HB Burstbucker Pro ....... we will not change the world .... It's a Les Paul! !
For cons, the look is fabulous. Fintions trs Soignes table Saddle flame beautiful varnish honeyburst ... the great class.
Only regret ..... they have the virtual pink wig of tuit to put a anthrasite!

UTILIZATION

The relatively thin profile neck (but be careful it's not a race ... a rest of the Ibanez Gibson) is enjoyable trs. We ofSuite the sensation of playing on a high-end instrument.
Of course, the guitar is the heaviest in the world, play harder, but when you tame rgal bte ... what!

SOUNDS

What is obvious (... or plutt ears), is the richness of sound. I have the happiness of another possder Les Paul (Studio MODEL, less upscale), and despite some say that seeing trs little diffrence between the two guitars, I the .... says it has nothing to see!
Yes, a studio is a real Les Paul, with his bold and couillus, but there is always a spce sailing on the sound ... not well Dfine and drooling a little (lot?). L on the Standard, this impression disappears compltement. The definition of it rcupre, brilliance (even if still a chubby), and all shades of games take a fabulous dimension (although they are almost gums with the Studio) . I t really surprised they are so diffrent (sounds) despite their siblings empty. I even feel that the knob is more effective ... In short, a rgal!

OVERALL OPINION

Exceptional guitar, sounds rich and Varis (as long as his playing is rich and varied! Of course).
A real rgal whatsoever in clean, crunch, hyper saturated saturated .... always Dfine and singing.
Pay less than 2000 new (yes, there are good plans Pigalle ... thank you guys !!!), I am proud of this acquisition, which I am sure, will only improve to over time ...

Well then I'll start too ... I think of my old Les Paul, I've had 99, so 5 years, 1.5 more than my girlfriend, and both have proven to be excellent investments:-P

United States standard, frets? I have not counted, standard microphones (490 498) for years, recently seymour duncan (see below), and finally good, all standard ...

I'm a fan of the 2 tones 2 volumes configuration is very practical in live, and the switch is positioned (better than a SG) so I have no complaints and I put 9 because you can always improve , and that's what I did.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, but I think a stick 'stripped' to Zakk Wylde (like on a fender) slip better. The hand tends to stick to the lacquer is a matter of preference I suppose, but I prefer the fenders for that.
access to the latest sharp is not easy, but for me it's enough. the large joint of the handle allows much stalling his hand around the 12th box, and then the form can be located and know where you are without looking at the handle. SG on I'm a little lost.
Unlike everyone else I can not find the weight hallucinating. I'm not a lumberjack in Canada, and never, ever had back pain, even after four hours of repeats. I play basically standing at home too, no problem. You just position the guitar a Les Paul is not played like a Start! It must be hung much lower, at the Jimmy Page, and the weight does absolutely no discomfort. From the handle to the rear, and the body heavy enough that the guitar is recovering more than a strata, which makes it very easy to play in that position. Comfort!
Now if you want to look like a Beatles or Tom Morello you go to shit. Especially when you throw bottles because you'll look ridiculous.

Do you get a good sound easy? ... What question con is not a multi-effects!

SOUNDS

Then the sounds ...
First you can not do everything with a Les Paul. Like you can not do everything with a Start. It remains true to itself.
Before buying this guitar I had a copy of strata, so I was a little confused because the two sounds are very different. There before me, a guy who said he feels that the little E string does not ring, CA is that the mediums are placed differently than on Start. You get used to any type of guitar, and now, if I play on Fender, I am shocked by the brilliance, the sound seems to me too late and aggressive. On stage, there is less chance that a Gibson out of place in the mix and hurt the ears.

Matter of taste, therefore, even now I regret the side fender to the chords (the clean). The Les Paul is not really made for that. Where it is strong, it's for the arpeggios on the micro serious. This mic gives a thickness to the sound that can play beautiful arpeggios, which would sound ridiculous on fender. The microphone is acute against the king of distortion and solos on that, nothing new to say.

It is very interesting to see how a skyscraper can influence the style of play, depending on what sounds good on it or not. Me the microphone made me develop a serious set of arpeggios to Jeff Buckley. For others it will be interminable bends to the solos ... The Les Paul, like all great guitars, has a specialty, that's why we bought it.

The question of the amp is also interesting. It is often said that Fender amps are made for Fender guitars, and it is true that the LP does not sound at all on a hot rod deluxe fender or the transistor that I know, for my taste. For it is against magnificent Twin Reverb, who knows. I am not a specialist in Marshall, Mesa Boogie on the other hand of it is perfect, the heat of the Les Paul offsets the slightly "metallic" mesas. Personally I recommend the very old mesas (Mark I, II) or a twin reverb, but that's because I like beautiful cleans and reverb.

Finally, I change my scratch by installing two Seymour Duncan Jazz and JB in severe acute. The difference with the pickups of origin is significant. However, beware of snobs who say that Gibson pickups are zero, I do not agree at all. On the contrary I think they have a strong personality, and now my guitar sounds less like a Les Paul. Differences: the SD are open, so you lose the sound a little metallic envelopes given by the microphones closed. We like it or not. I find this gloss on the mic is pretty sharp, but it may be too aggressive. Overall the SD are more balanced, no dominant frequency that can hurt, but also give some personality to the sound. Jazz has little low, before I had to lower the bass on my amp, and when I went to the microphone the sound was too sharp end. The sound of the guitar as a whole is more balanced. In summary, the microphones are very specific origins: full of sharp treble on the mic, full of serious to the serious. A combination that has its flaws, but I regret a little.

I also installed push-pull microphones to play simple, it can be useful in the studio, but it's not really the best sound of a Les Paul.

Of its kind, the best available. So I put 10.

OVERALL OPINION

A beautiful guitar in the comfort of game very addictive, and very strong personality. This is a guitar a lot and always engaging, and it is difficult then to move on to another. Many enthusiasts collect the Les Paul is well known. I guess it's the same stratum.
His personality has influenced my style of play, it must be a good thing, in any case it shows that we must think carefully before buying that you want to play. What I like most: the bass.
Value for money: of course not justified. I bought new for 10,000 bales, ca was still at the time, but now the price is really too high. My advice: buy an SG, which, for obscure marketing reasons, has remained affordable. That's what I'll do.

I put 10 for the guitar, the marketing does not interest me.

The Les Paul guitar was not immediately accepted by the music community when it was first introduced. However a few notable artists and musicians decided to take a chance on it and I agree would be one of the best hard rock guitars and pretty much all around guitars in modern history. There really isn't a guitar that is able to get this thick juicy tone but had the first ability to play in pretty much any style of music. It's extremely versatile guitar because of its ability to play decently and clean settings but go all the way up to hard rock and metal settings.

SOUNDS


I love the tone of this guitar primary with a high gain setting or you can medium gain amplifier settings. These are good rock 'n roll guitars and are really come to their own in that type of environment. They don't really do well in clean settings so when you play with Fender clean your not really didn't get that chimey sparkling tongue. However when you get these power tubes cranking, my goodness these guitars benefit right well in that setting.

OVERALL OPINION


I highly recommend these guitars anyone is looking for very versatile guitar but primarily something this can be beefy thick and saturated. This is a good hard rock guitar and anyone for anyone is looking to get a good professional guitar this might be it. You can find them pretty easily and the used section of classifieds and on eBay. I would recommend trying them out first because Gibson Les Paul seem to differ in feel and, balance from guitar to guitar. So you might want to try it out before you buy to get the feel and overall balance of the guitar.

Channel ultra enjoyable and beautiful with the color purple.

Here we are, the sound ...
Being a fan of the GREAT, GREAT, EXTRAORDINARY former guitarise

So with a little distortion pedal from boss or nothing, its a beautiful

Big sound with incredible sustain, I almost feel

OVERALL OPINION

A goddess who takes us for life and cheerful but
all the time.

My les paul is a MODEL of 1979, I bought 10 years ago in a shop in Pigalle specially on occasion (which no longer exists) to 1400 (now rveur has left), it is "wine red", really beautiful.

UTILIZATION

The neck is thinner than usual The models and super enjoyable and easy to play: it barely touches the rope and rings alone!

Access in acute is not the most simple, and it is the only "low" of this guitar perfect. But I do not care for Access in acute, I take my SG!

The ergonomics are perfect, and we must stop DLIR, it is not so heavy that has for long standing and I play without any problem. And form, say nothing, for me is the best!

The sound is exceptional right now. has come!!

SOUNDS

I am a big fan of rock / hardcore and sometimes a little metal, and it is the scratching idalie.
I only play on the micro acute and oats STRID. Yet I had an explore, but I returned the les paul, sg one, but I returned the les paul. This is the only one that covers the ventail rock sounds with as much bite, potato, sustain, and musical sound DEFINITIONS. I play in groups, and it is difficult for other models to be heard distinctly ct.

I jou on marshall JCM900 (which is yet rotten) for years, and she rang.
Maintenat, I play on a head Mesa Boogie recto verb with a Marshall cabinet Slash edition, and buried all in terms of sound. HUGE: this is the term. No need for pedals or other devices: it sounds!

For me, also a possde SG is THE REFERENCE Contents in the large. The SG is easier to play (Access in acute weight ,...), but it does not sound the same.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 years. I have a chang era microphones to put Di Marzio, but I came back to the original pickups. I gave him some infidlitSG, Duesenberg, Explorer), but I always came back, and now I do lche more.
It gives me the guitar that every lover of Rock and big sound is possder. Try c'e'st adopt it, and no other models will then support the comparison.
It's basically lime is prcis is pchu is perfection!

I am compltement love, and I think the price is justified because it is an exception object that MRIT. Personally, I slammed my Premire wages in (several times in the era) and I have never regretted it. It's not the guitar for everyone, and that's good!

My rve, is to have a deuxime ..... a Gold Top!

This is a guitar whose body is mahogany topped with a table Rabl. The neck, mahogany too, is al possde and a rosewood fingerboard, and a net around it and another around the body. There are two humbuckers, two volume, two tone and three-position selector.

UTILIZATION

My copy is a round dot "rounded Lp 59" (the original). It is thick and requires time to adapt to modern music on guitars habitus. Nanmoins, it remains comfortable, even if Access in acute is okay. The big problem remains comfort. The instrument is played trs trs heavy and prolonged standing is a punishment (I did with the ball, I know what I mean). It is well balance, even if it looks a little ct box when playing seated. It regrets the lack of muzzle to the back of the instrument to push the belly of the guitar. Beware ct round button fastening belt is facing upward and has a tendency fcheuse drive belt. It is essential, given the weight, to invest in SRET buttons. I also found the finish a bit of tui "lgre" given the price that rating if the achte alone. I will not talk about the color of the coating indoor (pink) that recalls, at best, a coffin. It got the U.S. ....

SOUNDS

The sound makes you forget everything else. With a guitar like a, Reduces other in silence ds THE FIRST note. Ms. Marchall a JCM 900, a ring! The sound is harmonically rich, bold, long as a day without bread, full of punch and dlicatesse. On a Vox or Fender, it's up, I imagine that it is the same with other amps. By distortion, crunch or clear is the same happiness. In fact, this instrument is, unlike what is often thought, trs versatile. It can be used in rock or blues, but jazz and heavy (which is conceivable with a strat gure). In contrast, in the light rhythmic seem fast enough "overload" because of the wealth and the harsh sound. I had the chance to play a lot of time on The Paul (entry-level Gibson) without table stocky, but with Micor and split. Well is not worth a one standard.

OVERALL OPINION

The sound of this instrument is forgetting the vicissitudes of design time (weight, ergonomics ...) This is a fabulous guitar, the best I lctrique possde. I use it since 1995. In the era, I paid (new) the equivalent of 1400 Euros. When you think it's worth aujoud'hui prs of 2700 Euros, has left rveur. The price has almost doubled while the t current guitars are not twice as good as mine. When you think that the price of the standard strat amricaine remained more or less the same, there is a feeling that the scam. If I do not dj possdais this guitar, I bought it. But I would look for an opportunity to fatten exagrmment plutt that Mr. Gibson.
