Value For Money : Excellent
Manufactures in the United States in 1992. MODEL Tobacco Sunburst, the rest is a Les Paul Standard;)

I changed the pickups with original cache mtallique by Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 Pro that offer better sustain and a more round with a beautiful grain.

I also vir the pickguard that I can not find trs beautiful, for against, over time (15 years) from minor scratches appeared on the coating strength to play.

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable to the touch, the size is perfect for my hands, no problem for the bars and the like. He slides mtal enough to play in any case has not impede me.

on the other hand, Access in acute is difficult (the handle is too pais section with the body) but hey, it does not shred with a Les Paul or you get used to! ;)

Ergonomics is not perfect, the body as trs heavy guitar tends to lean towards the right, over the body does not have the rear and it dcoupe uncomfortable when sitting. It must be said that design is vintage and has only little volumes trs. ESP LP forms with corrected these small problems. These are dtails minors.

For sound, no problem, although it's heavy to do is nickel. No need to spend time on the knobs or switch, a ring.

SOUNDS

The Les Paul is a versatile guitar you can play blues, rock, punk or heavy metal and hard, or even the pop channel clear. on the other hand, we will not completely crystal-clear sound of a Start or a Tele slamming.

I jou with a lot of amps, a Marshall transistor to beginners, and a Laney tube now and especially the modlisation Guitar Rig 2 and Line 6. Moreover, the Marshall of transistor-level n'tait not terrible, invest in an amp or modlisation medium range with a guitar of this type!

Since I changed the original pickups, the sound is a bit of DIFFERENT MODEL standard, well I have a fat, round with a great sustain. Basically, I can play the solos of Slash Do not Cry type without adding too many effects;)

IDAL scratches with this is I think to use the distortion of the amp (Marshall type;)) with one or two pedals (wah, EQ, and a time limit for example.) C ' config is a minimalist sounds of hell.

The switch allows for a more dry playing on the mic "neck". That's enough for some INTERESTED rhythmic and offers some versatility the Les Paul (without that of Strato especially clear sound).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 15 years, having done my APRS beginners on a Washburn and other copies, I take DCID srieux something more and more sustainable. The Les Paul with me so all these years, well before she trs.

I love the shape and colors of wood ribs and is a work of art, nothing to do with the simple "paint" some strats or tele. And of course what a sound!

I like the least of dsquilibre weight, CHAC difficult for acute and dcoupe rear. Gibson should evolve while a. The Green mcaniques Keys also are not the level of Grovers example.

I tried a lot of guitars but I find that with the Les Paul, playing with something in their hands, there's sound but also be quite heavy and feel of the handle and wood. I hardly play anything else ...

The report is difficult to assess because qualitprix A model is quite expensive but over the years, he watched trs trs well and resale can be done without problem for a mod the such. It was worth the money and we do not regret buying this is not the case for less Chres guitars that often default.

With exprience, I would choose the same even if no hsiter with the passing years, I want to point me to a more slamming of a Telecaster, which completely terait round and fat sound of the Les Paul. But the Les Paul is by far my guitar prfre!
