Overall: Received my new Ebony Les Paul Standard through Zzounds, arrived ingreat shape and on time. Set-up on the guitar was good; did have to do a few adjustments on intonation...often expected when guitars are shipped. No problems with fit and finish on the guitar. I went over it inch byinch. I almost went with the Traditional, due to negative comments on LP forums regarding the chambered body. But now, after playing it, I would not trade. Sustain is excellent; tone excellent. Kinda expensive....but well worth it.

Overall: First of all, I am a Strat guy. That being said, I recognize the tonal differences and necessity of having a Paul tone to compliment my style. I received the guitar and was very excited. Until I turned the vol knobs. The bottom knob was not smooth at all and felt like it was getting stuck. If I am dropping over $2.5k, it better be perfect. Especially the volume. It is critical that function works flawlessly throughout any show. I was surprised to see that someone at Gibson actually signed off that this was a product good enough to go to market. As for tone, it was exactly what I expected. Through my Mesa Roadster it was huge. The cleans were not bright like my strat, of course, however I would describe them as rich and thick. Not muddy, just thick. The action was very smooth all over the fret board. Action was pretty good for a factory set up. My hope is that the Paul I received was an anomaly regarding the volume knob, but it really was disappointing. The tone was awesome, but without flawless function, the tonal capabilities cannot be fully maximized.

Sound: its a Les Paul,,, sounds quality is always great Feature: I love the feel of the neck,, that new asymetrical process is nice Ease of Use: extremely playable. and now that its light, us old guys will like it even more Quality: very well made,,, its a gibson, just wondering about the quality control before it leaves the factory Value: its pricey,,, but well worth it Manufacturer Support: I dealt with gibson about 10 years ago with my first les paul and they took care of everything right away with no questions asked Overall: I bought the goldtop. Unboxed and opened the case and was stunned with its beauty. Carefully removed it from the case and was amazed at how light it was for a Les Paul. My shoulder will thank me immensly. Was a bit disappointed that it was so far out of tune. Makes me wonder if it actually went thru any quality control at Gibson. Tuned it, hit a few runs and a string popped. OK I never liked gibson strings anyway so not a big deal. I will say with this PLEkd system the string height was perfect for me. Only time will tell more
