Les Paul Studio Premium Customer Review

Overall:

(see rating details)

Sound

I was simply amazed! I bought it on Friday afternoon and took it to a studio session on Saturday. I had to play a song that called for a vintage rock sound that I was a bit worried I may not get with my strat. I plugged in the LP to see what it would sound like. To may amazement, I did not have to adjust a singe setting on my amp. It just natuarlly sounded perfect!

Quality

The quailty of this instrument in amazing. The only difference I can see (and belive me, I tried the models that were at least 1,000 dollars more) was the binding around the body and the chambered body.
