what's blemished?

Blemished

This is typically a customer return. This inventory includes all parts, components, manuals (hard copy or downloadable) and the full factory warranty. It is guaranteed to work perfectly, but it has a cosmetic blemish. It may be less attractive than Warehouse Resealed inventory, but it's priced even lower! This inventory is a great value.

"Worth every penny..."

Feature:
it came with a guitar cord which i don't use since i've got my own. allen wrench for adjustment. the knobs are ok, but i will change them to skull design ones to match the black color of the guitar.

Quality:
will probably last a lifetime i am sure. looks very sturdy and can stand up to a beating.mine had paint chipped of near the first fret, but then again it's just paint so who cares, sound is more important than looks for me.

Value:
for the price, it is worth it definitely. it's almost like a bargain for the features and quality this axe has.

Desirability:
standard Les Paul look but in black. i'd probably have the chromed parts of it sand blasted or painted black to give it that Goth look. but you cant go wrong with black, fits any occasion, be it a wedding or a funeral.

Sound:
the sound is fantastic! i read reviews about Les Pauls and all of them were good. i was blown away by the sound of this baby. crisp and clear, no hums even with heavy distortion. i had an Ibanez before, and there was this tremendous hum that i hear when i turn hit my effects, and it got even worse when i turned on the overdrive on my amp. i guess it might have been the stock humbuckers that came with it, not grounded well or something. But this guitar sounds Great!

Ease of Use:
i didn't quite expect that the clearance of the strings from the fret is quite far. 3mm from from the first fret and about 4.5 or 5mm on the 22nd fret. im used to the Ibanez, maybe that is why i find it a bit awkward to play in such clearance. but hey, once i get used to it, it'll be better. the knobs are very responsive especially the volume control. i might change the humbuckers to Seymour Duncans, but i'll give these HBs a chance first and see...

Support:
never dealt with them, and i don't think i will ever have to.

Overall:
i'd probably keep this and buy another Les Paul. but this ones definitely a keeper.

"The only guitar you'll ever need!!"

Feature:
I've heard the pick-ups are amazing!!

Quality:
Dude, it lasts for thirty years!!

Value:
Yeah...I'ts a little bit overpriced...

Desirability:
IT IS THE SINGLE MOST BEAUTIFUL GUITAR I HAVE EVER LAID MY EYES ON!!! It was crafted by the GUITAR GODS!!

Sound:
When I play, I love that creamy smooth sound this baby produces. It can't be beat! The one thing that really helps this sound is a nice tube amp.

Ease of Use:
Very playable for my expression and style. I like nice thick strings though, so I would change the strings it comes w/ for a size up.

Support:
I 've heard great things.

Overall:
Once I save the money for it, I don't think I could replace it, even if something better came along. This would still be a part of my life.

About This Product!
Description

From Our Catalog
News
The Les Paul Custom, introduced in 1954, has been affectionately nicknamed the Black Beauty and the Fretless Wonder. By any name, it has always represented the highest level of elegance and beauty in the Les Paul family.

490R Humbucker
This "Modern Classic" pickup features tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, but deliver a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special Alnico II magnet gives these beauties a singing quality that delivers on demand.

498T Humbucker
Put a slightly hotter Alnico V magnet into a specially wound coil combination, and you get the 498T "Hot Alnico." With its higher output and emphasis on mid-ranges and highs, the 498T is the perfect rock pickup.
