Granada Review: Les Paul Copy

History: Ive been playing about 25yrs.Sraight ahead rock n roll and R&B. With flame top.

Purchase: I bought in 1977 from the United Conservatory of Music (Based in Medicine Hat Alberta Canada) as my first "good Guitar" It was thier house brand.

What I Like About This Granada Les Paul Copy: The weight and solid resonance were amazing.I could not appreciate at the time how god this guitar was.Electrics were reliable and sturdy.

What I Do NOT Like About The Granada Les Paul Copy: The privioys revier is right. The stock pickups were a tad weak.BUT always came through in my item. Maybe the former owner of his had replaced with junky ones. The tail strap post kept coming out but was easily fixed. Input jack plate too..but very well made and easy to fix(normal wear and tear)

Granada Les Paul Copy Quality Rating: Construction is amazing..simple, and high quality mahogany and flame maple top.Beautiful on stage.Thickest stop bar ive ever seen on a LP copy.So nice I kept the pick gaurd off to show off the maple!

Review Summary: An absolute first rate guitar. Mostly for the previous poster here is some history on what he has. I actually contacted the founder of the school where I bought this .In west canada.GRANADA was a house brand for the school.They were made in the mid 70's and early 80's at ( get this) the Aria Pro plant in Japan! By the same factory and the same people that made the Aria pro 2.AT that time. To the highest quaility. So what you esentialy have is A LES PAUL! AS good or better than any made with the GIBSON logo...never give it up! As far as I know they were only made in natural blonde flame maple with a black head stock plate and Granada in MOP.You have the best.With the right pick ups you should be able to tell it from a vinatge LP. It may be better.

Rating of this Granada product: 5
