Squealing Pig Guitars Website Price £1899.99

Description

Who doesn't love the idea of a semi-hollow Les Paul? The first time you experience the Gibson Memphis ES-Les Paul semi-hollow-body electric guitar's majestic, airy tone, accented by a subtle hint of crispness, you'll be positively captivated. Twin MHS humbuckers enhance the vintage quality of this irresistibly unique Les Paul. Rolled neck binding and low-profile frets make this an exceptionally smooth, fast-playing instrument.This guitar has tone and feel that match its looks. Nice rounded neck profile with good Low action. Whether you're playing rhythm or lead roles, or even both, you'll feel right at home with this guitar. The neck binding is rolled to fit more comfortably in your hand, while low-profile frets enhance playability and intonation.The pickups sound nice and rich.

This is a solid guitar in Mint condition. Virtually no play-wear and in pristine clean condition. All in all, a nice looking guitar. Comes in a Gibson hard-shell case with all the original Case Candy.

I played the ES Les Paul though a Fender Blues Junior, an Orange Tiny Terror, a Little Walter 50 Watt and a Ladner Dirty Dragon. Both clean and dirty, the ES Les Paul offered up all the tones you would expect from its solid sister. The bridge pickup displayed classic humbucker girth without sacrificing treble, and proved itself ideal for anything from fat Robben Ford clean tones to Clapton/Bluesbreakers bite. The neck pickup also straddled warmth and aggression perfectly; rolling its Tone knob off a bit brought out the ES-style jazz characteristics, while, with the Tone control full up and a little grit, its blues character reared up to deliver fabulous jump-swing tones. The excellent taper of the Volume and Tone pots made blending the two pickups a source of endless sonic intrigue.

All considered, the ES Les Paul is a terrific guitar. Lighter than either a standard Les Paul or a typical ES-335, this instrument provides a slew of iconic Gibson sounds in a familiar form that will appeal to blues players, fusion jazzers, and hard rockers.

If you are into the best, look no further. The ES Memphis has all of the best features and incredible looks. A new one will cost you over £2999.99 Why not buy a nice used one and save some cash?
