I return to the store, or I could try several Les Paul Standard. I'll be back on CHARACTERISTICS no "normal" of the les paul. Here is the 3 dtails I tried:
_Standard Stick with 50's of 2006.
_Standard Stick with 60's of 2006.
_Standard Stick with 60's of 2007.

Note three important things:
_The Les Paul in 2007 (or in 2007 I do not know exactly) are lgres because they have some parts of the hollow body ... this affects the sound as discussed below.
_The Finishes are simply unacceptable for the price of guitars, 2500euros, it may require perfection: three guitars on the patent had lightweight defects. Strata 'standard half that price are better.
_A Les Paul by ca DEFINITIONS Agreement is evil, but when even the mcaniques OE are really cheap for a guitar this price.

7 out of 10 so

UTILIZATION

I usually play on Start, and sometimes JS1000.
The handle 60 is closer to a handle of the Start 50 '.
However contrary to what everyone told me, the 50 'is not a log, it is enjoyable and easy to play (I have big hands).

The LP 2006 is heavy compared trs a stratum, but again nothing traumatic with a good strap.
The LP-2007 is much more because of lgre cavity.

This is when even a little less ergonomic than a Start.
This gives a good sound very easy.

SOUNDS

It is the everyone is agreed.
The Les Paul is a vritable weapon of war. Make an agreement with the distal half is to have the impression that a fighter is driven dcoller just cot. The sustain is super long. The sound is typical Gibsonian. For me it is THE guitar rock / hard rock. In the register of rock, I think we can make it do everything may prs, the same metal. This guitar is weeping in the solo. It's fat, I run out of superlatives. I love it gnial, and perfect my complte Start '.
But beware:

Of the 2006: it should be noted that the handle 50 'even if it is more difficult to play, brings a lot to sustain the attack and bass guitar. Trs is obvious.
The 2007's no longer the same as 2006, much less a guitar "mchante" normal cavity = less wood means less rsonnance less big sound. I think it's a disaster vritable! I understand that Gibson wanted to make his guitar wider audience, weight as a barrier for many people, but the sound does avritablement sacrificed.
Take your emergency 2006 Most recent internship!

2006 _Standard handle 50 ': 10/10
2006 _Standard handle 60 ': 9 / 10
2007 _Standard handle 60 ': 8 / 10 (it's still a great guitar)
_moyenne 9 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

It's a great guitar, legends, and with a sound that dtruit all. What I find most ESG is finishing and the quality of mcaniques for such a price. Level violin is currently well above PRS. The woods are lovely, however, all trs. It's the accessories that are less good.

The report quality is average trs. When I see that for the same price it was a McCarty or a custom shop Stratocaster (Fender also offers a laundry kit, a jack, a strap, etc. ...).

Remains sound. It's overtaking everything I said above. The PRS is better but its sound is intrinsquement compltement asptys act of Les Paul. It's the sound mythical, it's standard, and only for a, this guitar is exceptional.

I think I'll buy a 2006 with handle 50's one of those days. New MODELS seems be a mistake to Gibson, avoid.
