I'm a gearhead so I'll buy other guitars. This one will stay up there on my quality list. I do like to play on different necks. I'd replace this guitar in a heartbeat if something were to happen to it. I like everything about and there's nothing else I'd like to see in this instrument. I have lots of guitars from which to choose and I always return to the Les Paul when I'm looking for a smoking sound.

Sound
Absolutely gorgeous guitar. Sounds incredible through my Egnater head and custom made cab. Cleans up really well and is extremely expressive. Pinch harmonics are incredibly easy with overdrive and the cleans are crytal clear. I would not take this axe to bar gigs because I don't want anything to happen to it - I'd be crushed!! It's going with me only on the premium gigs. The pickups are superb and it plays beautifully right out of the case. I love this guitar!!

Features
Nice case. The gold hardware really stands out on this finish and complements it very well. I wouldn't change or add anything to this axe. They got this one right.

Ease of Use
Plays beautifully and sounds incredible. Turn it up and rock and roll. This guitar epitomizes rock music.

Quality
Built to last, my fireburst is one of my favorites. This is my fifth Les Paul. I own 38 guitars and I would rank this 3rd.

Value
I'd buy this guitar again. For a studio… read more it is well worth the money. I have other studio LPs and paid less but they are nothing like this axe.

Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed company support. No upgrades necessary. I put on strrap locks but that's it.

The Wow Factor
You know it's quality when you look at it. When you pick it up and play it you will confirm that fact. It's beautiful!
