Review: Gibson Les Paul Goddess |
|---|
April 10th, 2008 | Electric Guitars, Ronz Gear Reviews |
Here is yet another distinctive and original Les Paul guitar which is what I consider a great alternative for those who want a lighter and toneful Les Paul which isn't extremely painful in the wallet region.
When I first picked up the Les Paul Goddess I was thrown off a bit by the light weight of this object. Essentially, if you are familiar with Les Paul Standards you will notice a serious weight reduction with the Les Paul Goddess. (review continued below...)

The 490R neck and 498T bridge pickups have clear bobbins revealing the copper windings. This provides for pretty smooth action and fast responsive playability.
At $1,700 dollars retail, this guitar is no budget Les Paul, but does include many frills and details which makes the residual value of the guitar hold pretty steady. See full specs from Gibson Below. I love the Les Paul Goddess and think that it will most likely become one of Gibson's quickest selling Les Pauls to date.
