Two thumbs up!

The wine red is for sure worth the meager price. It's under 3 bills. The guitar is made in China and the deal at Music 123 is only good until Saturday March 31st. So if you have some change burning a hole in your pocket and want a Les Paul you'd better be quick.

You can make it less painful by applying for their credit card and choose up to 6 months no payments-no interest. If you already have a Music 123 card then the same offer applies.

The finish on the Wine Red is dark burgundy and looks solid from a distance but the Birdseye shows well under lights and up close. It's a real maple top and is bright sounding. The pickups are good and versatile. I haven't played at gig level so I don't know about microphonics. Neck is a medium thickness with Grover tuners and the nut is cut well. My only complaint is that the control knobs are down to the body. They will need to be lifted slightly on the shafts. The fretboard could use a little conditioner. The body is a big ol chunk of mahogany and I can't find a seam.

This is a limited run and can't be found anywhere else.
