zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Carved AA maple top. BurstBucker Pro pickups with Alnico V magnets.

The Les Paul Standard is still the Industry Standard Gibson craftsmen hand-rub the traditional sunburst finishes on the new Les Paul Standard Faded models. A satin treatment gives the Standard Faded the weathered look of an old favorite without the wear and tear.

The Standard is outfitted with the new BurstBucker Pro pickups with Alnico V magnets producing the most authentic, vintage Les Paul tone of any previous Standard pickups. They produce more bite and a seductive 'airy' tone with both pickups on.

This guitar will last you a lifetime. Something to cherish and hand down to your kids. Again, this is an investment. 20 years down the road, it could be worth twice as much or more! But overall, exceptional quality! Made in the USA! SOLID!!!!!
Sound
Tone is amazing!!!!! I play tons of rock from G n R to Mudvanye, and this guitar spits it out. Definately has that Slash sound.
Features
Love the case of course, especialy with the combination lock. My only litte thing with this guitar is I hate those tuning keys. Would look so much better with chrome Grover tuners!
Ease of Use
Love the neck first off. I sand down all my necks to begin with. Nothing like the silky smooth feel of that bare wood. So with that being said, this guitar doesnt have all that laquer. Has a very nice satin finish.
Quality
All I can say is "MADE IN THE USA".
Value
You get what you pay for. All I am saying is if you have the money BUY IT. A $500 guitar is going to sound like a $500 guitar. So if you want a great sound, spend the money. Plus look at it this way, the value of these work of arts wont ever go down. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT INVESTMENT.
