"Absolutely the best!!"

Feature:
The only features it needs is to be a Les Paul!

Quality:
Very,very well made.

Value:
Absolutely worth the selling price and then some.

Desirability:
Very attractive classic rock appeal.

Sound:
I have never played a Les Paul that sounded any closer to that Jimmy Page tone in my years of playing, yet it is versatile for any style.

Ease of Use:
When I first got it of course it needed the usual truss rod adjustments, but once it was "broken in" Ive never played a finer Paul.

Support:
I bought it at zzounds.com and with great support.

Overall:
This guitar is so worth the money. If anyone is skeptical, do not worry, you will be totally amazed with this one. I would never sell this one, nor trade it for any of those reissue models for $4000 or more. Definately buy this one!!!

"Buyer Beware"

Feature:
According to pictures I've seen, I guess it comes with a pick-guard and some other tool that looks like a hash pipe and a phillips head screw driver.

Quality:
Quality control? They have that at Gibson? A high school woodshop class could have done better. Might as well have been made in China or Japan. They would have done a better job on the finish. Scabs on face of guitar, very rought spots. A gouge, light scratch by neck pick up. Looks like the foremans kid came in that day to do Q/A and stringing very poor.

Value:
Very overpriced for overall quality. Not worth the asking price. Not even close to other brands.

Desirability:
Its a Les Paul.

Sound:
Sounds good.

Ease of Use:
Sound is good but looks like someone took the pick-up wraping and used it for christmas ribbon a few years. Its all wrinkled. The manual is a joke. More info on a self tuning guitar then anything pertaining to mine. I got a pick guard but nothing in the manual about it. Install? Why? Pros-cons? I guess were just supposed to be thankful its a Gibson.

Support:
No. Was a gift from my well intentioned wife.

Overall:
It's OK. But overall poor quality in craftsmanship. Very disapointed.

The Les Paul Standard is still the Industry Standard Gibson craftsmen hand-rub the traditional sunburst finishes on the new Les Paul Standard Faded models. A satin treatment gives the Standard Faded the weathered look of an old favorite without the wear and tear.

The Standard is outfitted with the new BurstBucker Pro pickups with Alnico V magnets producing the most authentic, vintage Les Paul tone of any previous Standard pickups. They produce more bite and a seductive 'airy' tone with both pickups on.
