Feature:
how much can i say about features on a les paul... pretty standard stuff.

Quality:
it felt better built than the studio that was several hundred bucks more. usa made and road worthy. for awhile i kinda worried about snapping the neck with the double cutaway but i got over it. it's a solid axe. only prob was that the tip of the pickup switch fell off and disappeared the day i got it. but who cares.

Value:
i'm realistic. this guitar will get it's ass kicked by many another guitar. but it's a hell of a value in terms of quality to average cost. it's comparable to most gibsons in the $1500 range, and i got mine for like $550.

Desirability:
way sexy. it's the les paul you get when you're sick of everyone and their mother getting les pauls with the same damn humbuckers and tone. it's the gibson quality noone can deny with a sleek and kinda vintage-y uniqueness. also in this category is the gibson bfg, but that one's a little farther out in left field with the killswitch and sandblasting.

Sound:
i wasn't really into the p90s until i picked this bad boy up. the tone is warm, but not too sludgy. purrs like a kitten.

Ease of Use:
i agonize over every detail when i shop for gear. after a few months of looking around, i had pretty much settled on this one les paul studio. but when i went to pick it up, i saw one of these right next to it and figured i'd give it a shot despite it being a few hundred bucks cheaper, which i expected to hear. but it sounded better than the studio, and felt so much more comfortable and natural, so i walked out with it.

Support:
support is a box of strings and a soldering iron for me.

Overall:
how can i not be satisfied at this price?

Only draw back for me is it's hard to play without a strap while sitting, it's off balance.

Durable, looks really good, everything is amazing.

Easily one of the best guitars I have ever played I got it for cheap tooo, only $609.52

Desirability:
I would have sex with it!

Sound:
Amazing you can reach a ton of tones, great for blues, rock, reggae, funk, anything. It is able to grab the chord, and can has great action and tension. I love it.

Ease of Use:
Amazingly easy to get anything out want out of this guitar.

Only problem is the back humbucker came backwards but I easily fixed that.

Feature:
separate tone and volume controls for each pickup. tune-o-matic bridge. non-locking tuners.

Quality:
Quality is good, could be better. Some frets *slightly* protruded. Nut looks like it could be cut deeper.

Value:
For $600 you get the ULTIMATE classic rock and blues guitar, that can also do country, jazz, and funk. And it's made in America AND it's a Gibson. GO USA!

Desirability:
Definitely a sexy guitar. The doublecut and body shape remind me of a sexy babe!

Sound:
Bridge is like a tele on steroids--except manly twang, not shreaky girly twang. Neck is silky smooth and purrs. Suitable for blues, rock, jazz, funk, and country.

Support:
not applicable.

Overall:
I've been playing guitar for 30 years. This and a custom Fender strat (which was 10 times the price of this guitar) are my favorite axes. This is the BEST guitar with P-90 pickups, bar none, at any price point.

Feature:
I liked the P90's, the rest is pretty standard Gibson fare. The faded finish and the color (cherry) didn't exactly win me (or my brother) over to begin with. But at half the cost of a Les Paul Studio, you can't complain.

Quality:
The finish is meant to wear, and is one of the prime reasons it is a cheap Les Paul. As with all Les Pauls I've ever seen they have plastic tuner heads. But this seems like a solid hard working guitar.

Value:
I have to say that to get a Les Paul for so little (especially when compared to Aussie prices) this is nothing short of exceptional value.

Desirability:
Like I mentioned before, I was tempted to keep this one for myself.

Sound:
I bought this for my brother, and tried out about 8 guitars before being handed this one. The tone!!!! The P90's were fantastic and sounded great, even against humbuckers. He likes his older style rock and new this would suit him perfectly. I was actually tempted to keep this for myself.

Ease of Use:
Since when are quality instruments hard to use?

Support:
Haven't had to deal with, as no problems.

Overall:
My brother seems to like it. So its fitted the bill nicely.

Feature:
Ease of neck, and not too heavy,pefect balance, nice full tone

Quality:
Very well made. head seems a little fragile, keep a telecaster as a backup,as it it virtually indestructable, and doesn't go out of tune

Desirability:
Avery good addition to an arsenal of guitars for exceptional tone and playability

Sound:
Humbucking pickups

Support:
Hvae been able to get Gibson pikups for other repair projects which worked out well

Overall:
I saw Keith Richards live with the Rolling Stones playing one, and I was immediately intoxicated by th amazing tone of the instrument, Then when I played one, I understood why...

Feature:
not alot of features to speak of but what is there is very good quality and funtionable

Quality:
good workmanship but always room for improvement

Value:
for the price a "real" Gibson not that Epiphone stuff

Desirability:
it has a unique feel to it.looks like vintage out of the box

Sound:
wide range of sounds possible with separate tone and volume controls.not an overly twangy single coil sound.[thats a good thing]

Support:
havent needed any in the three years I have played this guitar

Overall:
I really like the playability of this guitar.not quite to the level of my L.P. Custom but this is very comfortable to play.the only thing that could be better maybe is the tuners

Feature:
Two pickups, each with its own volume & tone? I'm not used to that from Fender...

Quality:
I've heard many good things about the quality, aside fro people cutting themselves on the fret ends...

Value:
For under $700, it seems like an awesome deal...

Desirability:
Perhaps my favorite guitar in terms of actual looks, in fact, I'm sure it is. Hands down!

Sound:
I've heard this guitar before, sounds great.

Support:
I'd expect it to be good, after all, it is a Les Paul by Gibson...

Overall:
I honestly am shopcked that they have guitars like this for so little price. They must buy wholesale or something...

Feature:
The hotter pickups are to me a must and really the only thing that these Korean made LP's are missing. So for about 200 in pick ups that you turn around and get 125 back off eBay for the new ones you sell back you have a LP that will age better and sound as good as the top of the line LP.

Quality:
Solid but I think you will be blown away by the upgrade to better pickups.

Value:
Probably the best value anywhere! Hey if you are a poser you need to spend 3 grand.

Desirability:
The naked tone thing is a well known. If you want to take it up a notch drop in the better pickups you now have the best humbucker platform that exists!

Sound:
I played 4 of them and picked the one I felt played the best for me. I put burst buckers in on the spot and for about a third the cost I have the tone and playability of a 57 LP. I am 80% stratocaster but I record and you have to have this tone and sustain. Actually I think I am falling to 60 something percent on the strats since I bought my JVM. A Marshall and a LP is a marriage that will never be broken!

Ease of Use:
I grew up on a strat so playing a LP is like cheating! It plays so easy and give you this amazing sustain and tone. I am prone to long jams when I start exploring my Marshall. This combo with the burst buckers is so classic to so many recordings that you have these epiphanies.

Support:
Gibson is never going away. Easy to service yourself and I put the pickup on in under an hour myself.

Overall:
Naked tone guitars age well and these axes are built for playing. This is the ultimate platform for a player. I would say a poser as well as I like the look of a guitar that someone has spent a lot of time playing. Your call. Pay 3 or 4 times as much for the same tone on a guitar you are going to worry about every scratch or buy a players guitar and gloat the tone you are pumping out every time you plug it in.

Feature:
it has what it needs, nothing fancy.

Quality:
in all honesty it's a cheap guitar, the body's a piece of wood stamped out in the lp shape, the fretboard isn't flush with the neck, and the worn finish doesn't look worn, just cheap.

Value:
i had a lot of money to spend but i decided on the faded dc because it works just fine. a hard case would be appreciated.

Desirability:
if you're looking for something flashy this isn't the guitar for you. there are better looking guitars out there.

Sound:
every guitar's a little different but you can't really go wrong with a gibson.

Support:
i'd imagine it'd be good

Overall:
for what it is it's an excellent instrument. i'm no expert but i knew what i wanted and the faded dc was it, it plays well and does it's job. that's what a guitar should be.
