Pros
A lightweight, modern player’s Les Paul with huge versatility and a real identity of its own.
Cons
The location of the NanoMag preamp doesn’t disrupt the cosmetics, but it is a pain to access on the fly. Minor finish flaws.
Verdict
If you want a hybrid but are priced out of the ‘super guitar’ market, look no further.
