Body and Neck

A traditional foundation ensures the Sully Erna Godsmack Les Paul's sonic success right from the start. A carved solid maple top lends bite and articulation to the sound, while a select mahogany back -- treated with Gibson's modern weight relief pattern to increase playing comfort and enhance resonance -- contributes superb warmth and depth. A solid, quarter-sawn mahogany neck is glued in and carved in a comfortably rounded '50s profile that measures 0.818" at the 1st fret read more and 0.963" at the 12th, and topped with a black bound Grade-A rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and simple dot position markers, plus subtle double stars at the 12th fret. A black Corian nut is cut on Gibson's PLEK for optimum precision.

Pickups and Electronics

The stripped-down ethos and outward simplicity of the Sully Erna Godsmack Les Paul belies a powerful sonic punch lurking within. Its single '57 Classic Plus pickup yields everything from bone-breaking crunch to eviscerating leads when used on its own, but just pop the push-pull switch on the tone control to unleash the built-in flanger circuit for instant Godsmack atmospherics. Adding further drama to your playing, the toggle-switch on this single-pickup Les Paul is actually kill switch to mute the guitar's output for rhythmic stutter effects.

Hardware and Plastics

A set of genuine Grover tuners partners up with the classic pairing of Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for smooth and efficient tuning and intonation married to solid sustain. All hardware is black, in keeping with the stunning look of this guitar. The truss-rod cover it hot-stamped with Sully Erna's signature, and to avoid obstructing any part of its unique finish, the Sully Erna Godsmack Les Paul comes without a pickguard.

Every bit as good as advertised. This is definitely a rhythm guitarists machine. The kill switch is spot on for cutting off all sound to the guitar, absolutely perfect. Love the push/ pull knob for the sweep effect, really gives it that little extra that's not overbearing. May upgrade the 57' p/u at some point, but we'll see. I need to spend a little more time with it before I make that decision. All in all, if your rhythm front man and a Godsmack enthusiast, don't hesitate.
