Learning on my Dream Guitar

I recently was fortunate enough to purchase this. I am a drummer percussionist who has dreamed of playing a Les Paul since I was a kid. The Gibson Les Paul has always been the "Very Top" for me. So I felt the Tribute model would be a good way for me to start with the very best brand/model, yet being at the beginning of my experience. I am not able to speak to exacting technicalities… read more that the pros or more experienced would. But coupled with the Blackstar 40 watt Club40 MkII amp, I am discovering some awesome tones! No complaints whatsoever about how this guitar feels, plays or looks. It also included the matching cream-colored pickup switch ring, which is useful but also adds that classic LP look. I am having a blast playing and learning on the vaunted Les Paul! Currently working on learning a Casting Crowns song, "Jesus, Friend of Sinners", as well as "I hear You Knocking" by Dave Edmunds, "Give me Some Water" by Eddie Money, "Wonderful Tonight" and "Let it Grow" by Eric Clapton, and "Back in the USSR" by the Beatles. Living the dream. What a joy… right now, I am a 55-year-old kid in the candy store! Highly recommend.

Don’t think about it, just get it!

This guitar rocks! If you like guitars with a chunky neck you'll want this one. The pickups in this guitar sound great. It works for Randy Rhoads and Van Halen stuff really well. If you were thinking about getting an LP I would recommend this not only because of the price tag, but because it sounds so dang good.

This is the best axe out of all!!!

I love this axe I mean the satin finish is so nice. I prefer this satin finish over a glossy finish on a guitar . Not to mention you hand fells like it's gliding down the neck. I want to thank my sales engineer Andy Miller. While this may be my first time ordering from sweet water it will surely not be my last.

Awesome Guitar, Awesome Experience!

Was little hesitant to buy a guitar that I haven't played. But Sweetwater knocked it out of the park. Being able to choose which guitar, wood grains, colors, etc. from the actual pictures taken was great! Then I opened the guitar case when it got here and not only did it look better than the pictures, it was in tune and intonated! I didn't have to spend the first 30 or so minutes… read more tuning it up and intonating. I literally took it out of the case, plugged it in, and played. The guitar was perfect. Looked to be wiped down as there were no dust, fingerprints, etc. No surprise dings, dents, missing parts that you sometimes find when you pick up guitars at other stores. Everything about my Sweetwater experience was great and I would not hesitate to buy another guitar from them.
