Gibson USA 6 String Gibson Les Paul Tribute 2018, Right Handed, Satin Faded Honeyburst (LPTR18FHNH1)

What an Instrument this guitar is. A work of art in its own right, it is truly beautiful.The case it arrived in is also an example of form and function in perfect harmony. I had intended to buy a Gibson hard case, but there is no need, this supplied case is more than suited for the job.The set up on the Les Paul is perfect for me. No adjustment needed.The ease of playing is incredible - no effort at all. Fingers simply glide up and down the neck and vibrato is no effort at all to achieve.The all important sound is stunning. I play through a Marshall Value 100w Combo that I have had for 35 years and the guitar just sings whether clean or cranked up.This is not my first Les Paul - I have a 25/50 Anniversary Model (which I have had for almost 40 years). The Goldtop is a fair bit lighter than the Anniversary Model, which is actually nice, but plays and sounds every bit as good. Very impressed and highly recommended!

Arrived well packed, on time and in perfect condition. If reviewing the looks and finish of this guitar it would be 5 stars plus! Beautiful finish on the gold top and very well put together. The gig bag is the best I've ever seen short of a hard case, excellent. With regard to playability the guitar was in tune out of the box which was encouraging but the action was very high and the neck was slightly bowed. However with some work on the truss rod to realign the neck and adjusting the bridge for string height it now plays pretty fast and true. Always been a Fender man (30+ years) and still prefer my old strat but must say that this guitar is very good value for money and the tone is crisp and clear with added bite when you need it. What lovely looking guitar!
