"Menace to Reality(quite rude as the Zildjians may say)"
Feature:
The fact that their is no fretmarkers is a downside to the string bendibility on this guitar fretboard, but with a set of Gibson 10 bright wires and a very lean helping of "elbow grease(and maybe sweat)" you seem to be immersed in the application of sweet sustain and somewhere along the lines of equal temperment.
Quality:
I'm more worried about my Fender Metalhead giving away to stress caused by its massive output than it failing on its quality level, but as mensioned before the lack of fret markers makes it a little harder on the bend side, but power to its ability to last longer than.
Value:
Great value only comes at this price when the guitar factories are doing their god-given job right, as GIBSON has for over 5 decades. Power to all that own the legend!
Desirability:
Well, i'd have to admit if power is sexy than sheer power may overpower the one(or many) women that come it contact with this guitar,or its owner.
Sound:
This guitar is overpowering in its stature, the sound can melt its way through any mix. I also own a ESP Viper and that in comparison is very baritone. Also with the menace (a great name for it) the control from treble to bass is amazing, i mean not as amazing as a Jimmy Page les paul with all its tonal character cause by push pull pots, but still along the lines of a dreamscape with young Jimi.
Ease of Use:
Well if you were to rate it on a 1 to 10 scale, you might just end up giving up on writing about it, and turn on the amplifier. I mean i have to limit the volume because i get my neighbors mad with fear that the sixties are coming back. Do you know what its like to not want to stop playing just because you think you might not make history from the ground up. Well then maybe you should be writing about your guitar as well cause I think that everyone should take about their own ventures in music at least a little.
Support:
Actually ended up buying two when it first came out but quite at a accident, due to my father and I both thinking it would be a great present. Now I only own the one, but still love it non the less.
Overall:
I own four guitars now and have own more than a baker's dozen, And I don't think that this 25% of my instuments will ever be replaced, if anything it will replace the rest of my band, in context, and maybe even my own self if I'm not careful with its yeildings(speaking of my hearing, if you don't catch the drift).

"Iam a southern rocker, but I think you could play any style on it use your controls,happy playing"
Feature:
had to get a hard case,to put it in, every gibson should have a hard case,
Quality:
the quality of mine is very good for what it is,Not used to such a light guitar,Iam not worried about any thing breaking,other than strings LOL,will be installing strap locks,will not be wearing a belt buckle while playing, It is a beautifull guitar and it will stay that way,if I go on the road it will go with me,it will be my maine guitar
Value:
this guitar is well worth what I paid for it,I am a gibson man, gibson fan
Desirability:
I had my choise of several diferent Les Pauls from studio,custome,I did buy the menace I like the looks,the sound is better,than some others that I've played,every one that see's it can't stop looking at it and they want to touch it,kinda like what they do around Harley's,
Sound:
I had a 70's gibson RD,that got lost several years ago,have been looking for some thing that sounds somewhat like it,I think the menace comes close.
Ease of Use:
it is not hard getting the sound that I want.I plug straight into my amp,Marshall Valvestate 2000,screams
Support:
have delt with them years ago turned out ok as I recall.
Overall:
I plan to have it for the rest of my life ,if it got lost or stole from me it would have to be replaced,with another menace
