Made in the United States, in Nashville, I had the opportunity to acquire a good standard flametop 2003.
All my Les Paul, I kept 2 and under no circumstances I do not separate (see my review Custom)
Entirely original, otherwise I will have not kept ... not even bought it anyway ...
a real dream, but that requires, above all, know how to play a minimum and to get into the trip ...
I think people who say they see no difference between an Epiphone and a Gibson, they go to learn to play and then they die of shame one day he could dare to think and say such immonderie! (I know .. if so ...)

UTILIZATION

Handle my faith ... that of a Les Paul ... Therefore, an end to the base and well rounded.
But very enjoyable after a few minutes when you do not know this guitar.
For regulars, the handle of a Les Paul is a Les Paul neck (except the Classic ... a bit more end more ...)

The only snag is that playing sitting small problem.
For this one in any case, the weight has been revised since the last few years, Gibson has had the foresight to break the bodies of Les Paul, which has the effect of lowering the weight (and then some .. . 2 pounds between my 2003 and my Standard CUSTOM 80) and improved sustain.

In any case, his level, there is nothing to say, we do what we want ... of very fine to very straight forward, very poluvalente, it allows to switch between the neck pickup in warm clear sound quite loud and aggressive distortion in bridge!
And for the solos, the two microphones do wonders each with its particular signature.
Personally, the neck pickup makes me cry ...
and sends the bridge! it's amazing!

SOUNDS

For rock, nothing to say, you have the beast!
Any good guitarist must have a ... besides, you know one who does not?
Even the scratch signed by a registered have a ... (Sisi, Satriani has, in a Vai, Malmsteen has even!)

They did not leave because they do not want to scare it!

OVERALL OPINION

This one, I've had a year and I enjoy as much to look at the play, a real treat!

What a pity that so complicates the task Gibson retailers ...
For me, Perpignan, I have to go up to Toulouse in order to find one ...
A Gibson, commercial level, I say Zero!
Manufacturing level, you are the champions ... can not be good everywhere ...
