Gibson Les Paul Studio Gothic Review

History:

Purchase: Our local pawn shop/hamby's music. It had $925 on it but he generously let me have it for $850. Even with the low amount of $$$ I make I was going to go into debt to own it.But $850 still isnt bad considering this axe is dead mint.You get what you pay for and this guitar shows that it is worth every penny!

Pros: Whats not to love? Satin Black finish, black hardware,killer sustain,great feel, excellent playability, a ripping 490R at the neck and a powerful 498T at the bridge. If you think the gothic les paul can raise the hair on youre neck by looking at it, wait till you play it!! It did not take 5 minutes worth of playing to realize that I had to have it. Think of it as a sexy chick in black leather that you must hold on to and cherish forever. Came with a sweet lavendery plush case too, very stylish!! I play heavy doom metal which this axe took on well but it can handle a # of tones.



Cons: Not even a big enough dislike to mention: Like most all pauls it is on the heavy side. It sure wouldnt stop me from buying this guitar! Some players might need a while to get used to the larger gibson neck too, but you'll like it trust me. The pricing can be high also, but you will definetly appreciate what you get with a gibson.

Les Paul Studio Gothic Quality: A Gibson Les paul's build is legendary and the gothic studio is no different. When you say "les paul" People know what kind of quality you are talking about, it speaks for it's self. Besides even though it is very gig worthy I wont be slinging it around into things. 5-star construction baby!!

Gibson Summary: Why are you still reading this? Go buy one!! It is that awesome! I just regret not getting it sooner,it's a stripped down tone machine that begs to be played! And yes you could look at it as long as you could play it!!
