Gibson Original Collection Les Paul Standard 50s Tobacco Burst elektrische gitaar met koffer
Well, buying a Gibson Les Paul was a life dream, so cannot say that I am not biased, you have been warned. Service from BAX Music was very good, guitar arrived exactly the next day as promised.
Now about the guitar, it has a really good weight to it therefore this is not a light one. The neck size is large but still comfortable even for players with smaller hands like myself. The action and intonation was set perfectly, no wonder, Gibson is using Plek machines for cutting the nut and frets. The pickups are sounding amazing. Warm and bright at the same time, lots of dynamics. I mostly play this guitar through a Marshall JCM 800. The range of the tone pots is also quite wide.
Stuff I did not like; for the price, frets could have been polished from the factory. Guitar had tool marks on the binding of the neck and there were a couple of shallow dents on the fretboard. Despite this I kept the guitar because I could fix most of these issues (apart from the really shallow dents on the fretboard) and to be honest considering the reviews I found online, I do not think Gibson can do better.
Could I have bought a better guitar for this amount of money, yes I could; but I do like the heavy and thick feel of a Les Paul.
