Gibson Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar with 60s Neck (with Case)
AA figured Maple top. 60's style with fast, thin neck.
"A dream come true..."
Feature:
What more do you want in a guitar? One that washes dishes? If you know how to use vol and tone in combination and know that pick up setting you want, do you need anything else? I don't use a whammy, so I don't miss it.
Quality:
Best guitar I ever owned. Got the Gold Top and it looks great! Bindings look great too. No flaws whatsoever. And American made!
Value:
Here we go again. If they can make an Epiphone knock off for $400-$700, how can they charge so much for this great axe? What does this have that the Epi does not have, or could not be added? I will state till I die that this is the best guitar I ever owned, but I do think that it is seriously overpriced. Probably because of saps like me that had to wait until their 40's to own such a treasure. The Les Paul robot guitar provides me with a more palpable value proposition so that may be my next guitar. Let's face it, Gibson has the quality and the name. You really can't lose if you buy it at the right price.
Desirability:
I wanted this guitar for nearly 30 years, and got it last year. It is one of the most recognizable, sought after guitars out there. I wanted it more after I actually played one! Iti is a dream come true.
Sound:
Awesome, best I ever sounded. But I don't have a killer Marshall or Mesa tube - just a new Peavey tube (about $600) amp, so I cant rate it a "10".
Ease of Use:
Love the slim 60's neck! Didn't like playing the 50's neck at all. "Riding" the sustain is one of my favorite "tricks" when ending songs or coming out of a lead. It can go forever!
Support:
Only called to review the warranty. Got a live person in 3 minutes and they answered my question.
Overall:
As indicated, the Les Paul robot would be next on my list if it is made of the same quality. I have to play it first.

"Meet the new Gibson Les Paul"
Feature:
This guitar comes with a hard shell Gibson USA case. The guitar itself is equipped with 2 volume and 2 tone controls, as well as a 3 way toggle switch for pickup selection.
Quality:
The Les Pauls of the past went out of tune easily, and weren't set up very well from the factory. The new Standard is equipped with Grover locking tuners, which hold the guitar in tune perfectly. I haven't had to do any modifications to this guitar, it played perfect straight from the factory.
Value:
This is an expensive guitar! I payed $2,600 for mine. But, you will not get that Gibson sound from any other guitar. You can get a Fender Stratocaster for $999, and it will sound great, but it will not sound like a Gibson. The Les Paul is worth the extra money without a doubt.
Desirability:
This is the most beautiful guitar made!
Sound:
NOTHING sounds like a Gibson Les Paul. I play every style of music; rock, blues, jazz, heavy metal, and this guitar handles it all!
Ease of Use:
I use this guitar through a Marshall JCM 900 on stage and a Roland Micro Cube at home. Of course, it is a Les Paul...it sounds great through everything.
Support:
Haven't had to use Customer Service yet!
Overall:
I will probably keep this guitar forever. When I do buy another guitar, it will be another Les Paul.

60s Les Paul Standard Customer Review
What a classic beauty. This guitar oozes tone.
Koodos to Gibson for a job well done. The vintage styling and superb craftmanship make this guitar as good as the original 50's models at a fraction of the cost. Whether you play 60's or 70's rock, electric blues or jazz this is your ticket!!
Initially I purhcased the Les Paul Classic model and it doesn't compare. The Classic looked nice but it is not as versatile. It's pickups are extremely hot and deliver an over the top sound. Great for hard rock or metal players only. If you want a sweet tone that is balanced whether distorted or clean buy the Les Paul Standard. The Standard is more versatile than the Classic.
Cheers.

"if gibson made whisky, it would proably be better than jack danniels."
Feature:
with the les paul i bought i was given a fitted hard case, strings and a gibson logo strap. the best features are the incredible humbuckers. the positon of the selector switch is in the perfect spot on the body.i think the whole guitar is near perfect.the body and the neck are both made from mahoginy, but my model has a 60's fast fretting neck. the whole set up or the guitar is fantastic.
Quality:
this model is absouletly impeckable the finnish is fantastic i've never had a problem with it.
Value:
there are a lot of guitars for this price but i dont think anything comes close.
Desirability:
comone, this is a gibson les paul every one wants one, the quality and the looks ooze sex appeal, it looks awsome.
Sound:
i love the warm tones that the les paul produces. whether i'm hard rocking to metallica or bending slowly to the characteristic tones of slash the sound is absoultely fantastic. there is no way i would ever go back to owning a fender strat after having the pleasure of ownin a les paul.
Support:
i've never had any problems with it, so i've never meeded to contact the company.
Overall:
i will be very happy withe this for some years.i will replace it eventually for a newer model but i will still buy a nother gibson. next time i may get a les paul custom. this guitar has easilly meeted all my guitar goals and some more, nothin i tried previously came close. if it was to be stolen i would definately aquiure a new one. the thing i like the most is the appeal that is ooze's and to say i own a gibson les paul. there is ntohing i dont like about it.

"This is overall one of the greatest guitars that a player could ever have the privalage of owning. Something that really inspire"
Quality:
Made by the best guitar company in my opinion. Very well put together, amde in US. The finish is very nice...it is very beautiful guitar. Very reliable product. As with any Gibson, you can play to your hearts content and you can be confident that nothin will break. Would be fine for use on the road. Worst aspect is thats its very heavy for a gutar. Seems like it would last for a lifetime.
Value:
This is one of the niced guitars i have ever played, but it is 2000 dallors. I think that is pretty high price for a guitar, i would be more likely to buy it if it was around 1200 dallors, i also think that Gibson would sell mush more of them too.
Desirability:
It is the most Sexest guitar i have ever played. This guitar really inspires a player to play more. It is a very nice feeling guitar. And it is very beautifully crafted. The falmetop is on thing that appeals to me, and the classic Les Paul shape i find very appealing as well.It would still sound great without the flametop.
Sound:
This is one of the best sounded and sexeast looking guitars i have ever played....i have a lot in my day too. The sound quality is amazing. It respones like a dream, plays very easy and smooth. It has balanced tone for the most part, more on the bright side a little though. It is good for all rock styles, wounderful blues guitar, and and any other style i can think of it would be great for except Jazz. It has all around good sound. I'm just an alright guitar player...and i was complemented on my playing with this guitar by a total sranger-it makes most all of your sound, sound great. It would go pretty good with most all other products, though it would sound better with other gibsons,as far as guitars go. It would be an awsome guitar for live or in the studio. Sounds good with any settings, but sustainfull settings best. I used a Marshall valve state half stack and my friend was on a tama rock drum set. Sounds good, would make a great guitar for anyone who buy it. Not too many things could make this sound better but ... the guitar has lots of sustain so it will go best with other rock oriented instraments.
Overall:
I would be satisfied for a long time, most likely till death, but i might a different guitar for a different purpose like playing Jazz. I would never replace it. The only thing that would lead me to search for something else would be the need for it...like an acoustic guitar for a live show in which i would an acoustic.

60s Les Paul Standard Customer Review
Feature:
Grover tuners would've been nice. I got them std on my ES335 DOT. I immediately installed the pick guard when I got this guitar. IMO should've been done at the factory. Just doesn't look like an LP without it.
Quality:
AA Premium Flame top? I don't think so. Yeah, there is some flame, but it's hard to notice in certain light. There is also alot of grain running through the wood that detracts from the flame. Might not be so noticeable on the darker colors, but I got Heritage Cherry. The lacquer finish on the other hand is perfect.
Value:
Overall, considering what you get for your money these days, it's a good value.
Desirability:
Who doesn't want one?
Sound:
Had one of these back in 76, which I bought new. Since then have had various others including a PRS which I thought looked great but sounded horrible. I was a little put off by the chambered body/lighter weight design compared to the overweight battle axe I was used to, but when I plugged this in, I couldn't figure out why I ever sold my 76. I love the sound from this guitar.
Ease of Use:
The action out of the box is excellent. THere was no need to adjust anything.
Support:
Don't know haven't ever needed it.
Overall:
If you're going to advertise AA Flame top, you should deliver. Since the beginning, LP's have come with pick guards.

"The Master Built Difference"
Feature:
The fixed brigde allows the guitar to stay in great tune. its confertable to play but i would really love the guitar if it had an all access heel joint because I very often play in the higher frets while soloing.
Quality:
Handmade......says it all
Value:
Worth every penny but could be cheaper (HaHa).....we all wonder...why can't we win the lottery (HaHa)
Desirability:
1 of my favourite guitars along with Ibanez RG's
Sound:
I love the sound of the pickups, they got a real clear sound and they have a bluesy sound and yet they sound great playing heavy music. The Mahohgany wood body and neck give the guitar a really nice overall warmth within the sound and the rosewood fingerboard is just really nice and when the string penetrates against the wood the tone it produces is just beautiful.
Overall:
Just a great guitar
