"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.

"Sweet guitar, a solid buy"

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)

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.
