Gibson Review: Les Paul Custom

Gibson Electric Guitars



History:

Purchase: I heard about the Les Paul about a year ago. Everybody rated it highly, so I decided to buy one. I knew they were expensive but I wanted the best. I bought one off my best mate for $2300. This was alot for a new Les Paul. But it was the custom, special ebalone inlays and mother of pearl. It is the best guitar I've had.

What I Like About This Gibson Les Paul Custom: The sound is crisp and clean. The action is great, easy to play and amazingly versatile. The build quality is Gibson standard, which is flawless. It is quite small for an electric but produces an amazing sound. The Les Paul custom is definately worth the money. This one is Sunburst in colour with gold rim thrown in for extra.

What I Do NOT Like About The Gibson Les Paul Custom: There is nothing wrong with it apart from the high price.

Gibson Les Paul Custom Quality Rating: Quality- Brilliant Construction- Flawless



Review Summary: It is "the" guitar for guitarists. The best around, with a price to match!

Rating of this Gibson product: 5

Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany - I've played Epiphone Les Pauls around this price range and I can tell you there's no comparison. The craftsmanship and sound on this Gibson Les Paul blows any Epiphone Les Paul out of the water; pay $200 more and get a Gibson. Again, I've never wan...

Gibson Marauder - This guitar has a sound of its own. If you think it is a Les Paul, well, it is not!! Maybe this is why some people don't like it. Once you get to know it, you will love it to death. I do, for more than 20 years, it is still my main guitar....

Gibson Les Paul Special Faded w/ Humbuckers - What can I say. It's a Gibson Les Paul, but fit for the budget of the Average Joe.

Gibson J45 Rosewood - If I was sensible I would have bought a Taylor or a Martin just because they are better set up than most Gibsons but they're not Gibsons.And that's the thing.Even though the action was crap and it took a while to get the sound right,I know that this ...
