This IS a Les Paul. Period.
I've played Gibson Les Pauls here and there during the 4 decades I've been playing guitar.
Once fully set up, this performs the exact same way every Gibson I've played does. You can upgrade the pickups to taste - which I did with the bridge pickup (put in a DiMarzio to make this a Tom Scholz Boston guitar). It's a great guitar and fully worthy of the Les Paul name, in my opinion and with my experience using Gibson Les Pauls.

Excellent for Boston when paired with an EQ Pedal!
I use this for the classic Boston tone of the debut album and Don't Look Back.
I pair it with a 7-band EQ pedal and it's a great solution to spending a ton of money on an old Rockman and a Sustainor!
The only drawback is that it doesn't seem to reduce the distortion much. But, it IS a 'hot' pedal. So, I can't fault it for that too much!

I just got this. My first P90 guitar.
As with the Callisto STD +DS Les Paul copy I got from Rondo Music today (who sells SX guitars), this needed NOTHING done to it! Everything was spot on (Intonation, Neck Relief, String Height). It's a great sounding guitar and plays very smooth! SX guitars are great!!

I just got this today. It plays like a dream!
I couldn't believe how LITTLE I had to do to this guitar when I got it! The intonation, neck relief, string height, and fret-work were all spot on!!
Then I plugged it and tried it out on one of the Boston presets I made for Overloud TH-U.... and I became an instant fan of SX Guitars!!

Nice cheap and decent project guitar!
These guitars go anywhere from $50-$65 where you find them. I got mine on Ebay for $50. It arrived needing a neck shim, 3 frets filed, and (of course) new strings and a decent set up. I upgraded mine with a $17 YiBuy loaded pickguard with some somewhat hot ceramic single-coils and it absolutely sings now! It's also VERY lightweight! So, it's a decent project guitar, beginner guitar (if worked on and set up), and modding platform! I could see building a cheap 'Frankenstrat' out of one of these!
