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.
