SOUNDS
This guitar sounds and feels like any other Gibson you've probably played. It carries a specific tone that is only a Gibson Les Paul guitar. It's nice thick and meaty which allows many players to use a load of distortion very easily. These guitars don't clean up that well so if you're playing it with a nice clean Fender amplifier then you're not really going to get that sparkly tone that you would get out of a lighter body wood. This is a great guitar for someone who really likes to silverburst. I know that some professional artists like a silver bursts such as the guy from the band Tool.
OVERALL OPINION
This guitars are great sounding and if you can find one for under $3000 then I would say grab it. If you are a fan of the band tool than you would probably like this guitar as well. Other than that I would suggest going with a gold top which is actually my favorite Gibson Les Paul guitar. Overall though you pretty much cannot go wrong with any Gibson Les Paul guitar.
