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.

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.
