A Guitar Worth Considering, November 5, 2004
This review is from: Gibson Faded Les Paul Special Electric Guitar with Humbuckers (with Gig Bag) (Worn Cherry)
This is simply a great guitar. While it doesn't have the sheen of a highly clear coated guitar, the warmth of the cherry finish along with the wood grain makes for one cool look. I don't know about the other fadeds, but this one has a relatively even finish.
The humbuckers are hot and the fingerboard is fast. I haven't experienced any string buzzing. I may tweak the action down a little though. If I were Gibson, the only thing I'd change is the back of the neck. Feels a little grainy because of the satin finish. Doesn't impede the playing...just takes some getting used to.
I play a regular gig and have decided to bench my strat in favor of the Les Paul. While it doesn't have a carved top and it may not be as pretty as a Les Paul Standard or Custom, this is a nice guitar for the money.
