Budget LP

Orville Les PaulPublished on 11/28/11 at 11:33
I have always been a fan at the Gibson Les Paul guitars primarily because they had a great sound and a thickness that is very pleasing to my ears. They have a great feel and tone that is able to be extremely versatile for pretty much any style of music. The Orville Les Paul is basically just a Japanese made Gibson Les Paul. You can get basically the exact same tone and feel and pretty much all the exact same features as you would eat at American-built Gibson Les Paul guitar.

I have always been a fan at the Gibson Les Paul guitars primarily because they had a great sound and a thickness that is very pleasing to my ears.

You can get basically the exact same tone and feel and pretty much all the exact same features as you would eat at American-built Gibson Les Paul guitar.


UTILIZATION


As you features with Les Paul guitars the features are basically the same. The body shape is cut exactly the same from the features to the tone. The pick ups are pretty much all the same as well as the volume control knobs and tone control knobs. It has a the pickup selector on the top and to humbuckers installed in at the bridge and in the next position. The Japanese built guitars are pretty well crafted instruments. There's a feel quality to them that is very close to the American-built Gibson Les Paul. Even though this is a knock off instrument it still has that feel and tone that you would get from a regular Gibson Les Paul guitar.

SOUNDS


If either play to Gibson Les Paul guitar then you know exactly the sound and feel that you would get with this instrument. You get a thick and warm mahogany based tone that is very conducive to you high gain pedals or high gain amplifiers. Overall the sound feel and balance of this instrument rivals very close to her traditional American Gibson Les Paul guitar. It is good to be a budget friendly instruments so if you're not in the market for the expensive version of the Les Paul from Gibson and I suggest going with this guitar.


OVERALL OPINION

These guitars are primarily based out of the Japanese market today can be a little harder to find over in Europe and in the United States. However, if you can locate one the nearest good alternative to the higher priced American Gibson Les Paul instruments. These are fun guitars to play and there are great players in Schmidt from gigging or recording.

Japan Made, great sound

Orville Les PaulPublished on 11/24/11 at 21:30
I've played many chambered body LP's in my day and the sustain and tone does not compare to an un-chambered body. I play lots of country and southern rock, country is traditionally played on a telecaster, and southern rock is played usually on a les Paul both guitars will run you well over a grand each, but the split coil design allows you to play like you own both. the tone is orgasmic, and it is one of the greatest feeling guitar i've ever held.

UTILIZATION

This guitar is a jewel to play! Because of the low price I wasn't expecting this guitar to play or sound like it does! These Hum buckers make my Marshall sceam! The fact is this guitar almost plays itself, the 60's neck style...…

UTILIZATION

This guitar is a jewel to play! Because of the low price I wasn't expecting this guitar to play or sound like it does! These Hum buckers make my Marshall sceam! The fact is this guitar almost plays itself, the 60's neck style allows for easy slide and fingering! The body keeps with the Les Paul true tradition! The sounds I am achieving are unbelievable! Sometimes I play for clarity and other times I play for feedback, this guitar does it all! It has quickly become my favorite


SOUNDS


I compared this to a Mira PRS, The Orville Les Paul, and Gibson Studio Deluxe. Mira PRS was thin sounding compared to this but very playable. Fender was disappointing on rhythm and power chords but good on blues riff (it did get good reviews). Gibson LP deluxe sounded good but had a fat neck with gloss finish that made it difficult for my hand to slide up and down the neck. This Orville Les Paul has great playability (satin finish on neck), thinner neck, and unbelievable tone (played through a Blackstar HT-5 combo).

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, very versatile like most of the Les Paul guitars are. This guitar will have you playing all different styles of music. This guitar was made in Japan and sound great and is well built. I still own mine, and pull it out from time to time.

Same as gibson

UTILIZATION

Access to the difficult thing is sharp compared to the strata, but the handle is very comfortable with cons, and finally the weight is generally greater than that of a gibson les paul

SOUNDS

She is very versatile, like all the les paul: from blues to heavy rock power

OVERALL OPINION

Made in Japan by Gibson (Orville Gibson's first name is) to counter the competitive Japanese (Tokai, Burner ...). It then compares a les paul epiphone elitist or a tokai and has not ashamed to face a Gibson Les Paul
