Classic Les Paul tone. This guitar sounds AWESOME. Everybody in my band is blown away by its tone. Cuts through in the mid and high range very well with a tight low bottom end. Excellent tonal balance.

Its old school Les Paul. I do not like the plastic tuners.

This guitar sounds great through a EVH 5153 or through a 5 watt practice amp. Plays excellent. No learning curve.

Made in the USA. Gibson guitars will last a life time. Not sure about the plastic tuners and pick guard.

I was skeptical about the price verses quality. After receiving the guitar that went away.

Never had a reason to contact.

Every guitar player should have Gibson Les Paul. Love them, hate them. It shouldn't matter. I am not the biggest Les Paul fan on the planet however I believe this guitar is going to make me a huge Les Paul fan. Very thick heavy tone!!!!!!!!

The sound of this guitar is not as bright as I expected, but it did give very good and clear clean tones. The heavier riffs sound good to with the right volume and amp. Sustain was a little less than I expected, but a quick adjustment of the height of the pickups fixed that. The main problem is that once in tune, IT BUZZED. I had to make some adjustments but then it was fine. The pickups are definitely the most versatile I have heard to go through a variety of styles.

Its pretty much what you would expect, it's a les paul so don't expect any bells and whistles. The volume and tone knobs are very responsive and just a little tweak makes a difference, although they go in reverse direction to what I'm used to for some reason. The main thing I want to say here is that the body is no where near as heavy as I expected. It is supposed to be weight relieved, not chambered, but it's not that much heavier to what I'm used to. If you are not used to a les paul neck, get ready to adjust. It's easier to me to chord, but much harder to solo.Again, I'm used to USA and japan Jacksons, so I knew this coming in. However, I definitely like the feel of the guitar's neck and the way it conforms to my hands. Just FYI, the binding is more of a cream than a white, and the case (made in Canada) is awesome.

Again, the neck and the upper fret access will be the biggest adjustment.

First off, I'm a little biased because I don't mind paying a little more to keep American workers employed, but I did have one complaint on the construction. Everything is where it should be and the fretwork, tuners, finish, pickups, wood, and case were all fantastic, but there are 3 places where a razor blade cut into the binding on top and it is noticeable. This should not have been missed by any inspection checklist; it stands out. Everything else was top notch besides the strap buttons...way too small.

Even though I know I will get slammed, maybe cause I'm a ten year playing hobbyist and not a professional, I can't honestly say that there is a 1500 difference in this guitar and an Epi Custom I owned. A difference yes, but not that much of one other than the residual value. However, This is definitely a great buy over the Standard, .

Haven't dealt with them.

The fact that you own something that will outlast you, and appreciate in value, is enough for me. Again, I was impressed with the versatility of the tones, the finish (ebony) and the tightness of the guitar. I was definitely wowed that it wasn't as heavy as what I expected, and I was wowed in a bad way on the cuts on the binding. The other appealing thing about this guitar is the price point is perfect, as standards are too expensive, fenders are a different breed, and USA Jackson's are nuts with their price increases.
