Feature:
Pickups are 490R neck & 498T Bridge end great, bridge nice, tone & volume controls great. I had trouble with the switch cut out on treble, but sorted now. machine heads a let down went out of tune & some of the heads bent, changed machines to shaeller with lock nuts.

Quality:
Shame about the vintage klusons & the switch. I have a reliable guitar now.

Desirability:
A Gibson LP always has the X factor.

Sound:
This product has never let me down. The sound quality is amazing, from warm & clean to downright loud n dirty, the pickups in my guitar sustain for ages. I use Marshall equipment, which they're full of grunt anyway. I'm using a JCM 800 KK Sigature amp & Marshall quad 4X12 celestians angled bin.

Support:
Warranty ran out when I got problems, I didn't contact the company as friends & a relative build guitars serviced my guitar. Happy end of story.

Overall:
I've had this guitar for 22 years. Probably be buried with me. I've thought about selling it & changed my mind at the last minute.
