«  A Les Paul that has nothing to be ashamed »

Published on 06/06/12 at 07:53
Guitar made in Japan showing the specifications of U.S. models.
All features of Gibson, with long tenon, binding, full body, this is not an anvil either, mine must be 4 kg. Gibson USA 57 micro'' s origin.
Volumes 2/2 a tone selector 3 positrons on all Les Paul.
The bridge is a version of TOM nashville.

UTILIZATION

It was a Les Paul of what has more classic, with its advantages and disadvantages. The handle is not a log, but it's not a stick screddeur.
Access to acute takes some practice to get used to it, especially if you have small hands but nothing major, anyway, a pure screddeur does not guide on a Les Paul or a version improved at that time, we know this is not new on the LP.
The weight of the much maligned LP, is not annoying. It was a guitar that ranges from 3.8 to 4.2 kg, some current production at Gibson doing the same with a body weight Weight relief (small holes) Chambered not see dramatic and it has a full body for purists .

SOUNDS

This is the sound round and warm like that in clean, bold in distortion. The guitar responds well to different microphones we can paste it as you wish.
I equipped with a kit EMG 81/85 which prevents me from playing in clean or crunch. I like the rendering, especially if the dynamic is played on a tube amp that governs many attacks.
57 The classics give a more fortification, more olmd school just as interesting and failing to have a second, if I Cantonese style mics more retro backgrounds are by far the best choice (excluding pickups shops)

OVERALL OPINION

This is a great Les Paul Gibson even very good, some say better than her sisters, for my part, I would think rather that OBG's early 90s are in terms of construction, timber are equivalent except they were manufactured in Japan. This is not a label, and simply plug to be convinced. From what I've read all the models are not equivalent from year to year, it is therefore failing to try a good look at the year of manufacture, the top of the basket seems to be in the early 90s, in the late 90s, the building seems more important with a lighter specification.
A choice again if inflation does not win too certain years of manufacture.
