"Perfect"

Feature:
The Features are Average and all you need. Two Tone. Two Volume.

Quality:
The quality was 100% as all LP's usually are.

Value:
ALL Gibson's are over priced, but you definitely get what you pay for with the Classic.

Desirability:
The Wine Red Maple Top was beautiful. The Trapezoid Inlays Had a slight green tint in them making them look very vintage and cool. And Les Pauls are the coolest guitars around.

Sound:
The Les Paul Classic I played was by far the best sounding guitar I have ever played. The pick-ups were super hot and it just sounded amazing. I compared it to LP Standards, LP Studios, and a LP Custom, and the Classic blew them all a way.

Ease of Use:
The Sixties neck was fast and very smooth.

Support:
Had None.

Overall:
This guitar is amazing and the best one I have ever played. It looks perfect, sounds perfect, and feels perfect. I am saving the money up for this beauty right now.

"Pretty good Les Paul."

Feature:
rosewood fingerboard, wish it had better pick ups. I love the neck on this guitar.

Quality:
It's a gibson, what do you expect?

Value:
definitely overpriced. You're probably better off getting a SG or spend a little more money for a Les Paul worth it, such as the standard.

Desirability:
I think Les Pauls are one of the best looking guitars out there. If you get this in a honeyburst color you just can't get any better than that.

Sound:
Great sound with distortion, not so much with clean. For me I prefer either 57 classics or burstbucker pick ups, rather than these.

Ease of Use:
Great neck, very fast and easy to play. However, like all Les Pauls, this guitar is very heavy.

Support:
don't know, but I'm assuming it's good.

Overall:
This is a quality guitar, but not for me. Right now I think I either want the 61 Reissue SG or a Custom Les Paul with Burstbuckers. If you're getting a gibson you should get one with either burbuckers or 57 classic pick ups.

About This Product!
Description

From Our Catalog
Guitar legend Les Paul and Gibson teamed up in 1952 to produce the guitar that set the standard for solidbody electrics. In the 1990's Gibson and Les Paul still enjoy the most successful endorsement agreement in the history of the guitar, and the Les Paul Standard is still the Industry Standard.

About the Les Paul Series
No matter where Gibson Les Paul is seen - in the hands of a star performer, silhouetted in a guitar dealer's ad, or cast in brass and incorporated into the architecture of a restaurant - it is universally recognized as the symbol of rock and roll music. From the basic no-frills guitars to elegant showpieces, the guitars of Les Paul are the standard-bearers of Gibson's excellence.
