Everything they’ve been saying about first impressions is true with these axes! Open the box and “WOW”! Take it out and play it and “WOW!” again!
The woods are gorgeous. Even the rosewood, which I’m not usually a fan of, looks like that new lighter ebony on the new Taylors!
This is a real musical instrument and the Les Paul is the most versatile electric guitar out there! Just check out the Facebook groups and see how many iterations and styles it’s used in!
The neck is so fast ! The strings are tighter than I’d like, but I’m gonna topwrap or raise the stop bar!
I’m just using Xotic SP, EP and RC pedals with TC reverb and delay , so nothing heavy. I use a gravity gold sunrise 2.5mm pick too.
I was planning to instal the bareknuckles i have or get a set of the blue note HSP90s, but I’m not sure now! These sound great!
Like the guys said in the right handed reviews, just looking at it is enough! It’s a fabulous axe! I really recommend it.
All the fine points nailed, pots, tuners etc, all excellent and impressive . One thing that’s a bit weird is that my pots seem to be right handed!
Thanks to Thomann for holding this for me and sending tout de suite!
UPDATE! 18 months on, replaced the bridge with tonepros, pickups with Bareknuckle PG Blues set (out of phase mid position is fantastic) leveled the frets and stuck on 12-52s in D standards WOW what a warm amazing sounding axe, and shreds faster than Ibbies imo... still gonna get an all brass ABM bridge and a bone nut, but do not hesitate! these are amazing guitars!
