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.

Warranty
In 1894, in a 1-man shop in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Orville Gibson created a new family of guitars and mandolins that would inspire generations of craftsmen to produce some of the finest instruments the world has ever heard or seen. The Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Co., Ltd., was formed on October 10, 1902, to build instruments that carry on not only Orville's designs but also his conviction to quality.

Gibson celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1994 with the spirit of Orville still going strong. Gibson's combination of traditional craftsmanship and innovative technology has made Gibson the only company that produces industry standard models in every style of fretted instrument, from electric and acoustic guitars to mandolins, banjos, and resonator guitars.

The Gibson Gold Warranty carries on the tradition of the limited lifetime warranty introduced by the company's founders. It represents their commitment to producing the world's finest musical instruments and providing complete customer satisfaction.

Gibson Les Paul DC Pro Electric Guitar (with Case) Reviews

"It works for those who want it ..."
Feature:
One volume, one tone; what more do you need? Slim taper neck and lighter than other LPs; a joy to play!

Quality:
Gibson at their best; quality fit and finish all the way.

Value:
Got it for $1500; a steal.

Desirability:
I think it's cool; a lot of people don't like the 24 9as opposed to 22) frets of a "normal" Paul, and it DOES change the sound, but that's what I was looking for ...

Sound:
Brighter than a "typical" LP' I use if for 70s funk and R & B.

Ease of Use:
What's to use; plug it in and wail!

Support:
Never had to deal with any support on Gibson or Fender products (nor Dean, Hamer, PRS, etc.)

Overall:
It rocks (or shouldI say "funks"?)!

"The perfect guitar."
Feature:
The 24 frets is a plus and a rare thing for gibson. One volume and one tone that's it, which to me is a little annoying compared to my old custom. The flame top is outrageous, you can stare at it for hours. (mine is black pepper)

Quality:
Mine has a few nicks now but was in pristine condition when I bought it. It does need to be set-up with significant temperature changes. But a move to Florida fixed that. But it is easy enough to set-up yourself if you are one of those suckers in the cooler climates

Value:
It's a guitar initially it will lose value, it's not a collectors item. but it is irreplacable to me.

Desirability:
It sounds great, it looks great, it plays great.

Sound:
I am quite partial to the sound of my les paul dc. When I bought it I was playing through a Peavey transtube 60w express. Which it sounded fantastic through. I recently bought a peavey 40w triple xxx. It sounds even better through this amp. I have played this guitar through about every amp and effect you can think of as it often travels to the music store with me to try stuff out. It nearly plays itself and there isn't a dead spot anywhere on the fretboard. Because of the chambered body it is slightly more audible than the standard les pauls when it is not plugged in. Go play one and see if you can put it down.

Support:
No need to speak to them.

Overall:
Who doesn't want more guitars? I will have this until I die.
