7 out of 10
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.

Feature:
Case is nice, knobs and switches all work well. I dont like tune-o-matic bridges as much as fenders because you cant adjust each string height independantly.
Quality:
Oh yeah, this is why american made guitars are the best. I mean don't go dropping it or throwing it around, but everything about it is high quality. Finish is amazing. Neck is also amazing, inlays are amazing. Its amazing!
Value:
Well it aint cheap, but it is worth it. Its not too bad for a gibson les paul, you wont be disappointed.
Desirability:
These things are legendary and this one is beautiful, both in appearance and sound.
Sound:
cant complain here. those ceramic pickups are so nice. Super high output, no weak sounds. Very beautiful tone. These are what make Gibsons special.
Ease of Use:
I dont like the 60's slim necks as much as the 50's round but most people disagree with me on that.
Support:
I have called them before, and there was kind of a long wait. But I did get to speak in person after the wait, and the guy was knowledgeable and helpful. Although he had never heard of the studio les paul with bfg electronics.
Overall:
Overall its great. I didn't mention anywhere else that this sucker is heavy. However this is because it's one piece of solid wood, and that's a very, very good thing.
I wouldn't have reservations at all about buying this thing again if I didnt already have a different les paul I like more (a smartwood studio)
