Very Cheap, Very Good
The price of this is very deceiving as it does not feel or sound cheap. It sounds great and plays well but there is a catch. If you strum too hard, after a while the bridge will pop out of the guitar and you will have to readjust it. That comes with any Les Paul and it's not too often but it does get bothersome after a few times. It's only happened three times accross about a year but it is still irritating.
Great
The neck feels great, and it plays very well. You have to wear in the fretboard but after that, it's smooth sailing. All of the knobs also make it very diverse in what sounds you can get. The only qualm I have is that stringing it is very difficult, but that's the only bad thing about it.

Stringing it is easy! I know it's been 2 years since you posted that comment, so maybe you already figured it out, but if not, here's the process: Run the string through the trem tailpiece, pull it tight up to the tuning peg, cut it about 1-2 inches past the tuning peg, stick the end in the hole in the center of the peg, bend it out, wind. Easy-peasy! No luthier's knot required. You can even remove the strings and put them back on super easily if you needed to do some work on the frets or under the pickguard, etc. I wish all my guitars had these vintage-style tuners.
