A very competitively priced Les Paul. Does pretty much everything you’d expect. It has all the big and beefy stereotypical Les Paul tones. Played through my Marshall half stack it sounds wonderful; the 490 pickups are great and have quite a nice vintage tone with good clarity and sufficient grunt for hard rock. The neck Is very playable but feels slightly chunky and despite the ultra modern weight relief the guitar is not particularly light. My guitar weighed in at 7lbs and 14oz; certainly not the feather weight that some reviews seem to suggest. Most modern Les Pauls weigh in somewhere between 8.0 an 9.5 lbs these days, so it’s certainly at the lighter end of the spectrum but still feels substantial. The action height and fret levelling was very good; not even a hint of fret buzz nor choking on big bends at the dusty end of the neck. I’d have appreciated a little more attention to the fret ends to give a softer feel to the edge of the neck; it’s not ridiculously bad by any manner of means, a couple of rubs on each fret with a small file would have made it perfect though. I’m not sure why they left off the poker chip at the pickup selector switch? Most people prefer the traditional look and really it would have taken zero effort to install it. At a cost that‘s less than half of a Les Paul Standard you should expect a few compromises. Mostly costs have been saved due to the basic finishing. However, make no mistake this is a full fat Les Paul where it counts. It grinds out all the classic rock tones you’d expect and more.
