"PURE and SIMPLE"

Sound: Great vintage P-90 tone.Clean or overdriven.Very reminiscent of my old Les Paul Junior. Experiment with the volume and tone controls,and you get many great sounds.I have used this through small tube amps with the volume cranked up,and it sustains for days! I love playing it clean through my custom NAU ENGINEERING Combo also. Feature: I would like to see a pickguard on it,and the jack re-located, but these are minor issues. I like this this guitar anyway. Quality: It's Gibson quality all the way.I would take it anywhere.It's very sturdy.It's built to last for decades! Value: Worth every penny! Manufacturer Support: Gibson is easy to reach,and very friendly. Sometimes I think speaking to an actual craftsman would be better. I needed service for my ES-165 last year[jammed Tune-a Matic bridge]and they sent a new one to my repairman right away.I was happy. The Wow Factor: Very appealing for a basic/nothing fancy guitar. Overall: This is a keeper.I used to have a 1959 Junior Double Cutaway--and this reminds me of that guitar.It was one of my first electrics 35 years ago.Having this new one takes me back to those days. I hope Gibson re-introduces the Junior they had back in 2000.I would buy two of them.I'm already getting a second LPMM.They are just that good!

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "LPMM: too cool for words"

Sound: 1 p-90 in a thin slab. the p-90 is a staple in guitar sound; whether you like or not, you know what to expect. I like it a lot. Great for rhythm & leads that don't require humbucker-like sustain. The volume and tone pots are interactively set-up, so rolling off the volume gives you a meatier sound if you adjust the volume through external ampage. This guitar does jazz quite nicely and not sound like Leslie West when distorted. It's so bare-bones and basic that it responds more purely than more loaded axes to distortion/overdrive & other fx. Feature: 1 single-coil pickup. 1 volume. 1 tone. top of the line hardware (Gibson has no bottom of the line). Don't know what wood was used, but the LPMM is almost as light as a tennis racquet Quality: It's a Gibson. Value: best new guitar value I've ever seen. Manufacturer Support: really N/A. making a product that doesn't require technical support is support enough. The Wow Factor: Les is more Overall: It plays great, feels great, sounds quite good, works great with effects.

Style of Music: off the map
