The Real Deal Les Paul
Gibson made changes in 2008 for the professional working musician: locking tuners, locking bridge and tail piece, Neutrik jack, asymmetrical neck, upgraded pots, Burstbucker Pro pickups, and chambered for resonance and weight relief. The result is a very versatile and reliable guitar for the working musician.

Quality, Quality, bulletproof, durable, sounds great
This is a good example of an overbuilt 1960-type cabinet. Mine is loaded with GT75s. With the 5/8 thick wood it is a beast to move and sounds awesome. You can get them cheap and are a hidden secret for those that know the badge on the front does not mean it will sound good. Great deal!

Powerful, light weight, USA-made, professional features
This is the best deal for a 1500 watt USA-made bass amp. 1500 watts of class D power into two 750 watt power amps that can be bridged. There is an EQ and crossover plus it uses a 12AX7 preamp tube for extra warmth. Like any other pro gear there are tons of jacks, inputs, outputs for loops, preamps, tubers, outputs. Neutrik and 1/4" are supported. I played an outdoor live festival with one and did not have to go into the PA. Crazy powerful!

Great bass for the money
The Sterling Ray35 is on par with the USA Stingray 5 except for the compensated nut. The bass is remarkably well built and nothing like the cheapo S.U.B. series. These are Indonesian and setup in the USA and is a fantastic deal. You could work as a pro musician with two of these for the price of one Stingray 5.

Best single coil pickup for neck position
This is a unique pickup that gives the clarity when needed and compression that makes it great for sweep arpeggios. Put a little distortion and roll volume back and you get early Ritchie Blackmore. On my release called "Wizards Spell" I showcase the power of this pickup for impossible sweep arpeggios.

Not too hot but hot enough. Cleans up great and has a distinct sound that is dynamic.
I have these pickups on my RG550. Unlike the Evolution set most people use, these are less ice-picky (not shrill). They sound great cleaned up, overdrive great and respond to dynamics of how you use it. The review from Dawsons shows how versatile they are (that guy is a GREAT guitarist). Much like the Burstbucker pro in output and sound these are unique in the voicing to be less mid-high. They seem to be mid-low with clarity. Don't confuse the voicing with the Fred pickup - The voicing is transparent and gives a nice classic strat vibe. Very toney and vintage with attitude. The best of both worlds.
