zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Gibson now includes a deluxe hardshell case instead of the Python case.
Overview
Gibson USA's Les Paul Voodoo puts a mojo sound and a juju look on Gibson's most famous solidbody guitar. The Les Paul Voodoo has a Swamp Ash body, Mahogany neck, Ebony fingerboard with Red Pearl Voodoo skull at the 5th fret, Black Chrome hardware, and Black Magic pickups.
The Swamp Ash body and special finish give the Voodoo Les Paul a lighter feel. Swamp Ash is 10 percent lighter than Mahogany and more porous. The guitars are painted Ebony and then rubbed with Red Filler; a satin lacquer coat completes the unique stained finish, showcasing the grain and allowing the wood to breathe.

"Gibson VooDoo LP"
I love the sound I get from it now W/EMG's. I'll keep it just for that alone. Once I get it setup how I like my guitars, I'm sure I'll keep it. I may paint over the retarded skull thing.
Sound
The first thing I had to do was change the P-Ups. Lots of highs, good harmonics and forever sustain, but no lows, terrible clean, and cunfused sounding dirty. Not what I like for metal and rock.... EMG'S ZW have made a mega improvement to sound. This guitar NOW sounds better than any I have ever owned. Sound was 5 now 10
Features
Always the best from Gibson in this area.
Quality
No loose parts. Very solid.
Value
Could be better
Manufacturer Support
Never needed it, but I hear they are great.
The Wow Factor
I got it. The look is very cool with the black/red finish, but I don't like the goofy skull on the fret board. I wish I could get rid of that. It looks even better with the black p-ups. I love that it is lighter than other LP's, and the tone remains killer!
