| This is the finest guitar that I have ever played!!! |
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| This guitar is just absolute quality!!! Pay the extra for it because you will never part with it, I won't anyway. I originally went for a LP standard & it had glue residue on the frets so I sent it back and decided to go for the upgrade, I don't know if it was devine intervention or what but this thing has me shaking my head with amazement. |
|
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| I wouldn't send this back if I found 10 chips on the body!!! IT IS THAT GOOD!!! |
|
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| I can dial in anything on this beast, I am playing it through a Fender SuperSonic 50W amp. I was worried about the neck when I ordered it because I thought it was based on a mid 50's LP which I thought could be a little chunky, but mine is a Silverburst Custom & the neck is nice and slender. The new richlite fretboard is just fantastic, I don't know what all the naysayers are talking about with ebony and not being a real Les Paul. I swear this thing plays itself. I have been playing for 30 plus years and this is the best guitar that I have ever owned. The setup was spot on, not a buzz anywhere and the action was as good as it gets. |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| You can dial in anything on this thing with the right amp!!! |
|
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Perfect!!! |
|
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| Flawless!!! |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| Just got it so we'll see, but through American Musical Supply they give you another years warranty for free, that was a seller for me, great outfit to deal with!!! |
