Sonic Evaluation

This Tri Burst Les Paul has a tone to match the rarity of its finish. It has a sturdy, spongey attack with excellent articulation, helping the guitar respond consistently and evenly. Overall, it has a muscular, wide midrange response to go with fat lows and rich trebles laden with harmonic overtones. The bridge pickup is punchy and well-sculpted, and it makes rhythm lines sound beefy and lead lines sting. The neck pickup is MASSIVE, with expansive midrange, chocolate-y lows, and singing highs. If you're looking for a rich-sounding Les Paul, take this serial for a spin!
