This review is from: Gibson Les Paul Standard Traditional Pro Electric Guitar EbonyThis guitar is freaking awesome! I love it! I've been dreaming of owning a Les Paul for years and finally got the chance to buy one. The thing that swayed me to the Pro over a Studio or Standard was the coil splitting and pickup choice (57 classic & BB3). Coil splitting REALLY adds a lot of tonal variety, and these pups give that warm, crunchy tone that I love for blues/classic rock. I slightly preferred the thicker 59 neck of the Studio but the thin 60's neck of the Trad Pro is still really nice to play even with my big hands. Great sustain. Guitar came well set up with Gibson 10's strings, no buzzing, nice fast action. I'll probably do a bit of tweaking though, and put some Super Slinky 9's on it. Guitar is heavy (not weight reduced), but I kinda like that weighty feel. The Trad Pro is way better looking than the Studio and I like the cream pick guard and uncovered pickups. The cherry and desert burst guitars were also damn good looking but I like the clean lean and mean look of the ebony. The ebony also cost $100 less which matters to me!The guitar fits nice and snugly in the supplied case. It seems strong and well made (made in Canada, yay) and has a padlockable latch.If you can't fork out the extra $ then the Studio is still a great guitar (the Studio faded is really great value for money!). The standard is awesome too but IMO the Trad pro is more versatile for tone, and a good bit cheaper.I'll only ever be able to buy one LP and I'm glad it was this one!...
