(see rating details)
I plan to have it for the rest of my life ,if it got lost or stole from me it would have to be replaced,with another menace
Sound
I had a 70's gibson RD,that got lost several years ago,have been looking for some thing that sounds somewhat like it,I think the menace comes close.
Features
had to get a hard case,to put it in, every gibson should have a hard case,
Ease of Use
it is not hard getting the sound that I want.I plug straight into my amp,Marshall Valvestate 2000,screams
Quality
the quality of mine is very good for what it is,Not used to such a light guitar,Iam not worried about any thing breaking,other than strings LOL,will be installing strap locks,will not be wearing a belt buckle while playing, It is a beautifull guitar and it will stay that way,if I go on the road it will go with me,it will be my maine guitar
Value
this guitar is well worth what I paid for it,I am a gibson man, gibson fan
Manufacturer Support
have delt with them years ago turned out ok as I recall.
The Wow Factor
I had my choise of several diferent Les Pauls from studio,custome,I did buy the menace I like the looks,the sound is better,than some others that I've played,every one that see's it can't stop looking at it and they want to touch it,kinda like what they do around Harley's,
