"great cheap gibson"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I do not like the looks of this guitar. Within a few years I really like to buy a black gibson les paul. I only bought this one because it was cheap and good.
Sound
I really like the sound of this guitar. I use it with a Marshall jmp1 pre-amp, a marshall 9100 dual monoblock amplifier and two marshall cabinets. I bought it for only 999. I mainly use it for metal (using the bridge element). The guitar has a clear and heavy sound. I can easy swith from AC/DC to slayer without adjusting a lot. This guitar is useful from blues to metal.
Features
the neck is comfortable
Ease of Use
easy. Plug it in and play
Quality
I think it is an ugly guitar, but I don't care. It plays and sounds good.
Value
I do not know the "real" price.
Manufacturer Support
I don't know. I own two gibsons and I never experienced problems with them
The Wow Factor
The looks are not very good. Especially the body is ugly. I think it designed for posers with snake leather boots. The neck and head however are beautiful.
