Antoria Orleans Les Paul

had this about six months its one of the new antoria's first let me say ive had a lot of antoria's in my time mostly lps and ive allways loved them but this new antoria is so much better.its mahogany with a tiger maple top.fret board is ebony but i can't say for certain as ive never had a ebony board before .its allso got the long neck tenon joint.and abalone binding and fret markers.same set up as a normal les paul.all fittings are gold.it looks f###in great.i got it second hand for 190 best buy ive ever had.

so it looks great but so do some other guitars for the ??299 price range.but this allso sounds great.the pickups in it are not the normal throw away one's you would expect in this price range they are very good not fantastick just very good.its nice and powerfull sounding and not too muddy at all. good sustain.i wont be rushing out to replace them.sound great for rock and punk.sounds nice and bright on clean.

all looks good.the frets are fineshed well.tunners are great it stays in tune very well.well cut nut.the gold will wear off[it allways dose].ill have to see if it will last 20 years or so but since ive had it no problems.

ive used this live without a backup and it was great.i had some feedback but they was due to crappy amp not the guitar.the only bad thing is how heavy this is. good for sound not your back.

aint needed them yet dont even know who it is nowdays.

ive been playing 25 years ive had ibanez lps/ antoria lps/gibson sg/gibson junior/epiphone lp and lp special. this guitar is one of the best and i would buy another if i had the cash.
