I really like this guitar, and it is great value. I've been playing 40 years, and owned many Les Pauls, inc Custom Shop models. I am wiser now, and buy based on bang for buck, rather than headstock name and stickers. I play 3-4 times per month in a classic blues-rock band covering Clapton, Floyd, Bowie, Snow Patrol, etc. I love the feel of the neck - it is BIG! The P90s sound good (but not exceptional) and the general fit and finish is very good. I have no hesitation in recommending this guitar to anyone - first guitar, back up guitar, main guitar, upgrading platform - no problem. Blues, punk jazz, classic rock all handled well.
