I was concerned when ordering my new Les Paul because I had read such scary reviews online about the new "TV Worn" finishes, (Pellham Blue), but I took my chances and very very pleased that I did, I could not believe just how beautiful itis in person, the pictures do this finish no justice whatsoever! Upon receiving the guitar, I checked it for any damage....none, I was pleased with the feel of the neck, even the basic setup was adequate (for the moment). The coil-tapped/alnico II pickups are one of the main reasons I decided to buy this guitar. I normally play a Fender Strat, but this guitar truly is a Tone Monster!! Jazz, Blues, Rock, Metal, and yes....with the humbuckers in "split coil" mode, you even have a great Country Chicken Pickin' guitar. I couldn't be happier with my decision to buy the 'Custom Pro" model. Zzounds Customer Service dept. is above reproach in my book, they handled the shipping claim (2 guitars arrived damaged) immediately and without question, a great crew to deal with. I haven't needed Manufacturer support but I don't expect too either, but I feel confident in satisfactory results if the need presents itself, So I rated them 5 stars.

The guitar played good out of the box. Had to adjust the saddle a little, it was slightly high on the top strings. That was a quick and easy fix. I had to change the strings right away because the one's that were on it sucked. Overall build quality was good, except for the truss rod sticks out of the cutout a little too high so it makes the cover bulge out a little. I can overlook that I guess. Pickups are just ok, the bridge doesn't sound as good as the neck does. The bridge pickup seems to be a little thin and weak. The coil taps are fine, they sound good so far. I'm sure I'll get some quality pickups eventually.
