Came with a fantastic Les Paul style hard case. It has EMG pick ups and the classic Les Paul pickup/volume/tone configuration going on. I believe this guitar is based on the 1995 Gibson Les Paul. So, it has a slightly thinner neck than a standard Les Paul and the volume/tone knobs are a little more intricate. This one also has metal machine heads.

Sound : 10
Brilliant sound. Really full and loud (it literally sounds louder than other guitars that are plugged in with the same volume settings). It's perfect for heavy rock/metal sounds and also has a nice clean sound which would be great for jazz. It lacks the twanginess of a strat or a tele and for that reason I wouldn't use it for country or blues. But really great at what it does.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 8
Mine has a honeyburst finish. It's slightly buzzy on the (low) E and A strings. However, this appears to be common flaw with Les Paul type guitars. I have previously owned a 1959 USA Reissue Les Paul and the problem was much worse with that (much more expensive) guitar than with this one. The finish is great and the overall workmanship of the guitar is absolutely first class.

Reliability/Durability : 10
Very solid. Very heavy. I've gigged with it a few times and it's as good as the day it was bought.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never had to deal with them.

Overall Rating : 10
I've been playing for over 20 years. During that time I have owned two authentic USA Gibson Les Pauls - both of which cost more than five times what this guitar cost.

I do declare that this guitar is better than any of the Gibson Les Pauls that I've played or owned. The sound is great. The tuning is rock solid. It fretboard feels fast. The build quality (as far as I can tell) exceeds that of any other guitar I've ever owned.

If it got lost again I'd replace it but I'd get a different colour (maybe a black one). If you gave me a choice between a Gibson USA Les Paul or a Legacy Les Paul then I'd go for the Legacy. Whoever made this guitar has a point to prove and I think they've done a great job.

This guitar wails, i cant praise this enough, the solid body combined with the EMG pickups creates an aural masterpiece, this guitar can be used for anything from blues to metal, im using this guitar through an 80's laney linebacker 30 reverb and there is no hum or unwanted noise, just pure tone.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 8
1 minor flaw with this guitar, the action was a little high out of the factory but some minor tweaking and it was good to go

Reliability/Durability : 9
This guitar is solidly built and will definately withstand live playing, the hardware is rock solid and will not let you down, the finish is thick and flawless, replace the strap buttons and you have a solid workhorse guitar that wont let you down

Customer Support : No Opinion
never needed

Overall Rating : 10
I have been playing about 2 and a half years, i also own a squier strat and a vintage v100 i love all of my guitars but this is definately the loudest if lost or stolen there is no way i wouldnt replace it, i compared this guitar to an epiphone lp standard and this just blew it out of the water
