Sound is average LP

Standard LP features

Very nicely done, no flaws anywhere.

Compared to a standard? It's a no brainer! You gotta like flashy though!

Self composed

I grew up playing music. Guitar,bass, and drums a bit. I've been in and out of several bands over the years.

Anything hard and heavy. I've dabbled with country and bluegrass, and I've done recording sessions with proggresive and hip-hop

All the tones I will ever need. I find the 490R/498T combination almost perfect for my playing style.

The chambered body helps reduce weight - resulting balance is just right - and the maple cap on the rear makes the guitar even more comfortable to use.

How easy can a guitar get to play - better than anything else I've ever played (and thats a lot of guitars over a very long time!)

Mine was a year old when I bought it but in almost mint condition. Everything where it should be and of excellent quality - almost seems like a custom shop model.

Although expensive it is comparable to other equivalent spec guitars

Not had any dealings with Gibson so can't really say.

Although most people prefer the translucent finishes Ebony was the only choice for me.

Gibson's Less Paul Supreme is one of the finest and highest quality instruments from a production line at a reasonable price that anyone has produced yet in the twenty first century. The factory set up is good but I recommend you have your local luthier fine tune it to your playing style. Should the frets need filing you can expect an extra charge from your local luthier for the cost of files and polishing supplies because the frets are as hard as bell brass and will probably last ten to fifteen times longer than standard frets. It’s clear no expense was spared in construction and design of this instrument. I play mine through a small self contained Marshall twin MG 250. The versatility of the Amp. and guitar is a perfect match for everything I do from hard rock to sweet melodic classic tunes.

much more upside than my 86 Les Paul custom

How much acessories do you need? It's a Les Paul

beautiful to even look at

Expensive, and you might get better value out there, but this guitar rules

I gave thios a 10, because there was no NA choice. I never used Gibson's support, so I have no idea

Might be bets looking guitar out there

I use a Mesa Boogie,Mark1 I bought in 1972.With the gibson supreme. It screams on solo's.Fat chunky but clean sound for rythms.

I think it's excellent the way it came from the factory.

Quality is excellent.I do use it on the road.Never worry about anything.It always sounds great.

Yes!

Never dealt with the company.Never had a problem!

Beautifuly made guitar.And practical addition to my set-up.

The tone on this guitar is amazing. It has more sustain then any of my other Les Pauls. However it appears that there is more variation on the tone of these guitars then other models...I played about 20 at different stores before buying this one.

ex-pro...now hobbyist

the les paul's in general, have a sound that lend them selves to a certin type of player. so to compare it to other brands is deceveing. however it is my opinion that the les paul is one of the finest guitars manufactured to acuire my tone and the tone of those that i listen to.

this guitar has everything a guitar player need. volume, tone, a great neck and fretboard, amazeing pickups, and a great aperance.

a guitar is a piece of art, each one has a diffrent characture. i didnt notice anything wrong with the quality of the one i played that would amount to me thinking twice about owning it.

if you want this guitar, it is worth every penny, if you are not sure.. then i would realy consider waiting untill your sure.

i havent delt with gibson

i realy like the appereance of the guitar, the only thing that could be nicer if the headstock inlay.
