Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Gibson dealer

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. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Gibson products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Too powerful for little amps"

Sound: This is a very powerful guitar, little amps cant handle it, its very hot. The sustain is very lonnnnngggg, and its great for solos. The sound is very rich and deep. Sometimes i play acoustically just to hear the guitar by itself. Feature: it looks great, the neck is great, and the action is superb. Quality: This thing is a tank it will never die. Im a clumsy fool, ive dropped it a lot and my strap collapses the instrument is still fine. I had a mexican strat for 2 years and i had to re-saulder some of the connections myself, i dont think ill ever have to do anything to this guitar Value: They are expensive but ive never hear the gibson sound reproduced. Its a one of a kind sound. The Wow Factor: looks beautiful, ill never have to replace this guitar Overall: i think this guitar is very good. I have no complaints and completely satisfied this guitar is my sound, make sure that it is yours too before you buy it.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "I love my Classic"

Sound: The Classic has a beautiful tone: round and thick. This guitar produces a BIG Les Paul sound. Feature: The Classic would be perfect if they added good locking tuners and strap locks. Some people don't like the cermaic pick-ups. I think they sound great. One man's meat is another man's poison. One man gathers what another man spills, etc. Quality: Great neck: smooth, great fretwork, wonderful fingerboard Visually stunning guitar: mahogany wood grain on the sides and back; beautiful gold maple top; nice binding - flawless. Value: I think this is a hell of a guitar for thirteen hundred bucks (or for fifteen hundred bucks). On the other hand, guitar prices are way too high, especially Gibsons. But then again, the quality of the construction and the attention to detail are clearly superior to cheaper guitars. Manufacturer Support: I haven't tested the support. The Wow Factor: The Classic is a dream guitar. Maybe if you're accostomed to very very expensive guitars, the Classic is not that impressive. But to me, this guitar is mind-numbingly awesome. I'm used to Les Paul Studios and Fender Stratocasters. From that angle, the Classic is a dream guitar. Also, it's not that much more expensive than a new Studio. Overall: Best guitar I've ever played. Some people might not like the ceramic pickups or the thin neck, or the tuners, but when you feel and see and hear what this guitar is and what it can do, all of those "issues" seem petty and irrelevant.

Style of Music: Blues - trance
