Guitars Guitars!

Nothing much to post about really... Hmm so i decided to write some stuff on guitars...

Gibson Les Paul
These are wonderful beauties that is made from mahogany (backs and necks) with a maple top, which is rather heavy. This however gives the Les Paul more sustain due to its glue on neck, in comparison with its rival Fender Stratocasters. I currently own a Epiphone Les Paul classic that's made in china and it sounds great, and it weighs much heavier than my Strat Copy. The tone is very warm when put to the middle on the pickup selector and produces rich tones through the bridge pick up. Its trademark muddy tone through the neck humbuckers are awesome, overall its a wonderful guitar in terms of playability, tone and aesthetics. Certainly one guitar worth buying. When bought, its best to be fixed with strap locks due to its shape, which makes certain straps slip off. The Les Paul guitar is indeed synonymous to rock and roll and even clean sounds. The Les Paul Comes with 2 tone and 2 volume knobs which allows more versatility with your tones. With rosewood fingerboard, with pearl trapezoid inlays. However, despite making out of good materials, it is advice NOT TO drop it, as my head stock has already broken and amazingly it still plays beautifully. The only disadvantage of this guitar is that it has a single cut away shape which restricts much movement down to the 17th frets onwards. This guitar is also equipped with a tune-o-matic bridge which allow one to adjust the height of the bridge in case the action is too low which causes buzzing. Sustain is awesome for this guitar, and don't be surprised it owns a stratocaster in many ways. However each type of guitar has its own tone and find the best guitar that suits your tone! Some endorsers of the Les Paul Guitars are Slash from Guns N Roses, Ray Toro And Frank Iero from My Chemical Romance, Buckethead The Les Paul Shredder, and Zakk Wylde.

Hope that helps you and the Les Paul is certainly a rockable guitar to start off with !
