It is a complete monster. I've never heard another Les Paul that sounds like it. It weighs about 7lbs and vibrates and rings like no solid body guitar I've ever played. My '53 conversion was a great old LP, but nothing like this guitar.

They can be awesome- one P90 and have at it- but what drives some people nuts (me) is the tailpiece. Does that one have the set screws to allowat least some adjustment, or does it pre-date them?
