Arbor AP230

I bought this guitar from a local shop.It has a cherry burst finish,with a Agathis body.The finish is great for a guitar in this price range.($259.95).It is a Les Paul copy.22 frets.2 volume and 2 tone knobs with 3 way switch. 2 humbuckers.

I play country pop and rock.This guitar works well for my type of playing.Even the factory Humbuckers sound great.I am using a Madison combo amp.

The guitar was set up great from the factory,that suprised me.The finish is great.The action is nice and low.No fret buzz.

This guitar so far will work for live playing.It is staying in tune.At this price a person can always upgrade the tuners if need be.

I have not had to use customer support.It comes with a lifetime limited warrenty.Most good guitars do.

I have been playing off and on for about 20 years.I also have a Mex strat that is a nice guitar.The other I play alot is a JT-134 DC Jay Turser.They dont make this no more in the double cutaway.I would compare this Arbor to a upper line Epiphone costing alot more.If this guitar was lost or stolen I would probably buy another.

I bought this at a local music store. my other guitarist works there. is it a Les Paul copy. it has a Agathis body, carved top, set nato neck, 22 frets, gold hardware, 2 gold humbuckers. 3 way switch, 4 black Gibson-ish speed knobs. excellent high gloss Black paint. 3 ply binding on top of body and head stock. solid cream binding on back and neck. has the standard "Tune-o-matic" bridge. no case but I had one at home for it.

this thing sounds like a dream. when I played it a band practice the guys couldn't believe how killer the tone was coming from a $240 cheap Les Paul copy. the bridge pickup is a little weak but I can live with it until I throw a Seymour Duncan 59' in it. the clean tone is a cool jazzy type sound. very thick tone. I would give it a 10 but the bridge is a little weak.

all I did was put some new GHS Boomers on it. The manager at The Music Center is a Luther and he played it for a bit before I bought it and he said it was set up very well for straight out of the box. I did take the pickguard off. like it better that way. the frets are smooth and the action is just right.

this thing is build like a tank. I would only have a backup guitar for a gig just in case I broke a string.

I hope I never have to use them!!

I have been playing guitar for 18 years. I have owned a Gibson Les Paul before and I would say this one is just as good if not better. I mainly play Fender Strats in my band but wanted a nice looking guitar to play out live. my Strats get abused a lot. I wanted a little bit thicker sound. I always pull the single coils out of the Strats and put Seymour Duncan SH-1 59' humbuckers it the bridge. for the price I paid I would buy these things every time I see them.
