Love it

It sounds really amazing! I can't afford an Standard, but come on... It's Gibson Les Paul... Love Les Paul sound... Rock and Blues are my favorite music style and I couldn't be happier in this guitar's price range.

jimmarchi1

sell all your FX and buy a decent tube amp, then learn to work those 4 knobs while playing.... that's classic rock and blues

D

Those 4 knobs are amazing... I don't need to sell my pedals but I ser your point... There is an amazing video by Joe Bonamassa about changing the tone, cleaning, driving the guitar with no fx... all about the knobs...

D

And I agree with you, I need a really good tube amp indeed...

jimmarchi1

you know, I saw that video and I was like "doesn't everybody know about this?"
