Gibson Les Paul Studio Premium Plus Electric Guitar (with Case) Reviews

Les Paul Studio Premium Customer Review
Quality:
The quailty of this instrument in amazing. The only difference I can see (and belive me, I tried the models that were at least 1,000 dollars more) was the binding around the body and the chambered body.
Sound:
I was simply amazed! I bought it on Friday afternoon and took it to a studio session on Saturday. I had to play a song that called for a vintage rock sound that I was a bit worried I may not get with my strat. I plugged in the LP to see what it would sound like. To may amazement, I did not have to adjust a singe setting on my amp. It just natuarlly sounded perfect!

"I died and went to guitar heaven"
Feature:
It has all the features of any Gibson Les Paul and the 49x pickups sound very good in this guitar. I have a white Studio with the same pickups but this guitar sounds much better than the heavier white one.
Quality:
There appears to have a head stock that may be made of one large piece of mahogany and the right "ear" appears to be slightly different. This may be just the natural grain of the wood.
Value:
Should be priced around $2500.00 because of the tone, light weight, sweet tone and the flamed maple top
Desirability:
The tone and light weight are remarkable.
Sound:
I just bought this guitar yesterday so now I have six Gibson Les Pauls. This is by far the lightest, sweetest sounding, and one of the most beautiful of the other five. The other five include a '59 reissue and a limited edition (only 76 made) '58 black top reissue. This is a killer guitar. I purchased the natural one and since it is finishied with nitro celulous lacquer, I can remove the lacquer and stain it any color I want. With the colored tops, this would not be possible.
Ease of Use:
I love a big neck and this guitar is a pleasure to play. Bar chords are easy to play due to the fretboard radius and large frets. The natural satin finish on the neck feels nice when compared to that sticky feeling you get with a gloss poly finish neck.
Support:
Gibson has always provided me with excellent service
Overall:
Since I have over 20 guitars, and I do not play outside my home, this guitar will be with me in my coffin. I keep all of my axes and amps in perfect condition.
