The Alleykats Gibson made Hunbuckers (one 57', one New York Mini), sound great. The Mini, in the neck position, has a hotter sound than bigger 57'.

I really like the master volume knob on this guitar. It allows me to use the pickup selector switch with the master volume to make quick, live stage adjustments.

The pickups sound great, the neck is super playable and the finish is beautiful. The toggle switch is a typical Epiphone (adaquite, but not great). I've all ready upgated to a Gibson switch. The one downside to this guitar is the cheap volume and tone controls. I'll be upgrading them to Gibson as well.

Lets face it, Epihpone continues to turn out a high quality, reasonably priced instrument. I'd buy another in a minuite.

I've had no need for support.

This is the guitar I was looking for, a hollow body Les Paul. It looks great, sounds great, and if I happen to back over it with a truck, I'll buy another. People are always coming up to me and asking "what the heck kind of guitar is that"? I'm happy to tell them.

I play this through a Marshall mg50 and the greater depth is in the treble range. I have to to adjust down both vol and tone on the bridge pickup to get the neck pickup to have any depth. once that is set it sounds very good for blues and Jazz work. The sustain is ver good on lead work. The best part of it is it's size and weight

The case for the Kat series is more expensive than the less paul series. I assume because it fits less models. I could come with a gig bag.

The body and neck are highest quality the togle switch has a lot of play in it . The knobs all turn well and are responsive. Tuners are top rate non lockers. The finish is very heavy polyurithane, could be lighter. the over all quality seemed better constructed than a similar Ibanaz.

It compairs well. The price is fair

It is good looking and a great practice axe I usually pick it up before some of the other axes I have. it is very comfortable to play

Wide range

Great clean sound with lots of variety in the different pickup settings, however after owning for about 6 years I have noticed the screws are all pretty rusty.

Really nice smooth acousticy clean, as well as a fat raunchy drive with the treble turned up.

Quality is definitely lacking, the electronics as well as the main pieces ain't so great.

Well, if you've got a few hundred bucks to spare it's probably sensible to upgrade to a real Gibson and save yourself some headache with the cheaper parts, though it is a nice instrument in terms of sound.

Never dealt.

Very nice looking.

I'm playing through a Digitech 200 into a Peavey Bravo and the more I play it the more I cut the effects and let the Kat and the Peavey play together - especially on the clean channel. Both pickups respond really well to the dynamics of my playing - easy to get a sharp clean edge to full thick chunk of sound.

It has a global tone control - some might want tone pots for each pickup. I don't miss it. I like the master volume, easy to use while playing. The selector switch is just a tad awkward in its location for me.

The body and the pick-ups I give a 10+. A beautiful guitar full binding, even the f-holes. Pickups are versitle and good quality. Good tuners and strap pegs I give the lower rating becasue of the pots. I bought mine a little over a year ago(?) and maybe they've fixed this, but I had to replace the tone pot and the 3 way switch within a month. It wasn't a big deal or expensive to replace, but there's no excuse for pissy pots in a guitar of this caliber.

I give this a 12! Could be I'm now predjudiced, but really, the Kat just has too much versitality and tone for anything near or above it in price. I mean I get a real "feel" when I play this at least as good as most stock Gibby's I've played.

I have no idea.

I feel like I can work with this guitar - seems very personal. Looks great, well balanced and hum, growl and skra-reem. Does the work of three guitars. Wahat more does anybody want?

blues, classic rock, experimental
