Mine is a 2012 so for fault-known 2012, the two key pieces of folds.
Otherwise it's just a killer.
Moreover it can be a good deal to buy a 2012 because it is cheaper to pay because of this defect.


USE

The handle 60 is not so fine as that, it is the width of a 58 and is refined in its thickness.
It approximates a lot of 59, the difference is almost insensitive .In any case it was not my buying criteria .There is not a slim-type.
The weight is 4.1 kg .Bon me it's not a problem for me, I have always played on Gibson so good ...
Access to the usual treble a bit more difficult than on a double cut, but entirely possible.
It is easy to get a good sound, it just has to play in it.

SOUNDS

The pickups are Burstbuckers, these are not the world's best PAF but they have the merit to faithfully recreate the sound of the violin .I like them very much as I hated to a standard .A I think we can do better but I do not feel the urgency to change.
These pickups are excellent in clean sounds and crunches but lack a little definition for large Satus .They are both crystalline and fat, know cut corners while maintaining a good edge, they are versatile and respond well to knobs volume.
At the level of amplification, I have not yet found my happiness, I think the JCM800 ultimately prevail, but the guitar still sounds a bit all over the lamps amps after what is the quality of the saturation may fail on some.
So maybe electronics to review as when you type in the big satu in heavy metal style or sound must be precise while keeping its historic character .The are not optimized in this direction.
But it's true that with such guitar we tend to immediately put the amp in question ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

So I have this guitar for about 6 months.

J 'have owned 2 Les Paul Standard .The standard deliver a more modern sound, closer to Slash, while the CS have a vintage sound (probably largely due to the difference in wiring) .Of course the two are versatile, the difference is quite subtle but clearly audible.
So that's what I could fault a little at CS, lack of modernity, but it's just a matter of personal taste .I think I'll end up changing electronics.

The thing is that among the standards there are many disparities in violin .Personnellement I feel closer to standard but I have struggled with their violin so tasteless that I abandoned hope of find excellent.
Both CS I've tried, including my famous 60 'both have a very acoustic sound clear sound even disconnected .After there are large differences in the nature and you can easily switch to blah wow depending on what we want at first, but the two are great guitars.

So I would say that the main strength of CS Gibson is the violin (which I do not know what that gives good sound violin) .The its rich, woody sometimes not found on standard, in whole If the ones I played.

The value for money is absurd, it is probably possible to find both in other brands for much cheaper but again it will generally look .So, we buy these used guitars and in this case, it's worth its price .dropoff window

I would do this choice with his eyes closed, it is the Les Paul than I expected, it took me 17 years to find it.
