Manufacturer's description

This is without a doubt the best guitar i have ever owned and i have owned around 40 guitars all in all including a few Fenders, a Rickenbacker and a Gibson Explorer.
This guitar is partially hollow so it is unbelievably light for a Les Paul, it has a really bright tone and it doesnt sound as dark and muddy as what you would expect from a Les Paul, it has a very living and dynamic tone and sounds really great from clean to medium distorted tones (think ACDC) but i suspect that it wouldnt react well to totally saturated metal tones due to it being partially hollow inside, im guessing that extreme high gain would bring on uncontrollable feedback but i havent tried that yet, its absolutely perfect for my needs and i wouldnt consider changing pickups or anything except perhaps adding strap locks.
