owner of a gibson traditional too. head to head comparison on both. gibson left back in its case .this guitar is unbelievable. the color is how i was excpecting it to be and is absolutely gorgeus. the build quality is really good for a budget guitar.the pickups with the coil split can be driven through any sound and playing style.(used with blackstar id core).nicely done neck and freatboard great for begginers slim fast and accurate. needed some adjustments on the action,pickup height,relief,and intunation (i'm a low action player on drop tunings mostly) and still no fret buzzing, no muddy sound even with the stock 009 gause strings.stays in tune no matter what and the tone and sustain goes on forever . i love everything about this guitar and i'm super excited i got this one , totally worth it and recommended by far

Unexpected quality!!
Renato Medurecan 04.01.2019
Firstly, I want to say that this guitar is very well built and this particular color is really fascinating. I had finished setup in about 10 minutes, and I can't believe that I had more setup issues with my Gibson Les Paul tribute 2017, than with this LTD. The tone is woody and feels nice. The tuners are little hard, but they work fine and are staying in tune.

Secondly, the only "problem" with this guitar is that the frets are little bit rough (not sharp on the end), I mean you can hear the strings scratching the frets when bending strings, but it can be easily fixed with little polishing.
I don't want to use the sentence "Guitar for that price...", because this model can easily step up in front of many more expensive ones.

I am very happy with this guitar, and would like to thank Thomann for very professional customer service and help. Cheers!

This was my first guitar (not including a squier starter pack) and I'm very, very impressed with the overall quality of the guitar. Its durable, stays in tune quite well and looks beautiful!

Awesome beginner guitar, go for it!

As a first time electric, you can't really ask for more than this for the price. Its great value and would definitely recommend for any beginner looking for a more quality instrument. The coil split is not the best, but it's definitely usable and I kind of like it in some situations. Very happy with this purchase, it was worth it!

its good but...
Haik 12.05.2019
I used to love this guitar... before i got myself a Gibson Les paul tribute for a thousand bucks... seriously folks... this is a good guitar for the price... but 400 euro is half way to a gibson les paul tribute...think about it... i mean...nothing wrong with this one..its a decent guitar; plays well, sounds good...
but man... i cant describe how playing a gibson is different in so many ways...

First guitar
Chunchun 03.08.2023
This is my first guitar, an lp style of guitar was not my first choice but i saw it on many lists for the budget i was going for and i like the looks of it the purple is a beauty. It arrived in mint condition overall i am very happy with the sound as this is my first guitar i dont have enough experience to compare it to but overall its a very nice and inspiring guitar that makes u wanna pick it up and play whenever u look at it.

Beautifull guitar, neck feels good. But there's some problems with frets I have constant buzz on Low E string on 7 fret. Will have to bring it to luthier to have a look at it.

The finish is great, neck feels good, the pickups sound really good, it's a lot lighter than my epiphone LPC.

Would have liked black chrome hardware over standard chrome.

Maybe some improved quality control is needed as there was a scratch or shallow crack on the 3rd fret running from binding to binding, through the inlay

I expected better quality
IgorP. 16.06.2024
I have owned this guitar for over a year now. Overall, it's a good guitar with a color that I really like. I appreciate that it isn't heavy and has jumbo frets, which I enjoy. The sound is generally good, and the neck is well-made.

However, the nut on my guitar is of the poorest quality I've ever seen. The machine heads are also problematic, and I'm considering replacing them. When I first received the guitar, the frets were rusty. I had to spend some time removing the rust, straightening the neck, and tuning the guitar. I've been even thinking to return it.
