zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Incredibly Beautiful and Hottttt!!"

Sound: Absolutely gorgeous guitar. Sounds incredible through my Egnater head and custom made cab. Cleans up really well and is extremely expressive. Pinch harmonics are incredibly easy with overdrive and the cleans are crytal clear. I would not take this axe to bar gigs because I don't want anything to happen to it - I'd be crushed!! It's going with me only on the premium gigs. The pickups are superb and it plays beautifully right out of the case. I love this guitar!! Feature: Nice case. The gold hardware really stands out on this finish and complements it very well. I wouldn't change or add anything to this axe. They got this one right. Ease of Use: Plays beautifully and sounds incredible. Turn it up and rock and roll. This guitar epitomizes rock music. Quality: Built to last, my fireburst is one of my favorites. This is my fifth Les Paul. I own 38 guitars and I would rank this 3rd. Value: I'd buy this guitar again. For a studio it is well worth the money. I have other studio LPs and paid less but they are nothing like this axe. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed company support. No upgrades necessary. I put on strrap locks but that's it. The Wow Factor: You know it's quality when you look at it. When you pick it up and play it you will confirm that fact. It's beautiful! Overall: I'm a gearhead so I'll buy other guitars. This one will stay up there on my quality list. I do like to play on different necks. I'd replace this guitar in a heartbeat if something were to happen to it. I like everything about and there's nothing else I'd like to see in this instrument. I have lots of guitars from which to choose and I always return to the Les Paul when I'm looking for a smoking sound.

Style of Music: Rock and Roll!!!!!

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "The way a guitar is supposed to be."

Sound: The tone of this guitar is classic. That means it will never go out of style and in fact had a large part in inventing the style. It is full and inspiring. Exactly what I have always expected. Straight into a tube amp this thing is a killer. My particular amp is the Traynor Custom Valve 40 WR. Fantastic combination. Feature: The tuners are high grade as is the finish. The features on the guitar itself are exactly what one expects when one purchases a Gibson. Nice warranty. Even the case that comes with this guitar is fantastic...sturdy and very well made-nice on the inside to protect the guitar along with a 'topsheet'. Quality: I can notice some small blade marks (from saws I assume) and some minor imperfections in the finish but nothing that stands right out...unlike some of the models that I tried with bound fingerboards where I could see the sloppy filing marks everywhere. Value: As far as I am concerned this guitar is worth its price. I have 3 guitars which were all over $1300.00 including this one and it is worth the money. I tried a few other guitars that were much more expensive and some that were not as expensive and this guitar won out over the rest...a close second was the Smartwood Les Paul...I didn't rate it as a 10 in this category because there is always room for better value and some people get lucky with a great guitar for very little... Manufacturer Support: No contact...no comment. The Wow Factor: This guitar was a purely hedonistic purchase for me. I wanted a Gibson since I was 17 and had the means to do it but never did. I went for it after playing this Les Paul Studio...It has pure appeal... Overall: I'm keeping this forever. I would indeed buy another and may buy another. These guitars are attractive on a subconscious level as well as a conscious level. I'd like to have 10 of them. This guitar actually FELT better than the $2200.00+ guitars...therefor I was happy to see that it was a lot cheaper...I also couldn't find any medium-level flaws in it (only very minor) and I can't say that for the more expensive guitars.

Style of Music: rock/folk-rock/acoustic/etc.
