Onyx Les Paul Copy

Has solid black finish, 22 frets, shit tuners. All pretty standard.

I mainly play metal(Pantera,Metallica) and some alternative eg.(soundgarden,alice in chains) handles anything you can throw at it (even a rock). I pump mine through a Laney LX120 half stack, goes hard. I screwed with mine a bit and put a puretone strat pickup in place of the peice of plastic covering a hole and kept the one it came with in it. It sounds just as good as my Jackson and my bros SG.
Buzzes a little at high volumes but that may be my crap soldering at fault.

Don't know about factory settings. Made of ply

Guitar can take anything. I use it as my backup but it would hold up at a gig. Mine is really old, built before I was born but if you ignore the odd scratch or chip from hard playing over the years, the finish has held up really well. I can always depend on it and yes, if my other guitars were fudged, i'd use it without backup.

Guitar was probably built in the 80's. Any warranty would well and truly be void.

Been playing for a long time. I own a Laney half stack, An RM 60's half stack, a Jackson PS2 and a 60's Maton Fyrbyrd sounds good through any amp, I can take it anywhere without worrying about it.
My freind sold it to me for $40 with a 5watt amp, he bought it second hand for $80 with that 5watt many years before I. It can be detuned without any fudging occurring. It is by far my favourite. It was cheap so no sweat if it's lost or stolen.

Bought in 1990 Brand new. 22 frets, twin humbucker (bridge replaced by d'marzio Dp155) Solid top, 3 way selector, 2 volume 2 tone, Black finish with white edging, Tun-o-matic, plastic scratch plate (removed, thin neck, rosewood f'board, Maple top. Neck was warped and replaced 1 mth after purchase.

Blues, rock and metal. suits blues & rock best but handles metal as second guitar.
Haven't changed any hardware and finish shows no wear from over 3000 gigs and continuous practice.
I'd bet my talant on this guitar getting even Pete Townsend Through the tuffest gig.

Apart from the origenal neck (which my dealer replaced), I haven't needed to.

Playing for 20 yrs, Started through 60w gorilla then 45w peavey now 80w Trace Elliot & variuos pedals.
If it was lost or stolen I would replace it with the Gibson Custom I've been promising myself. Why replace a guitar when there's nothing wrong with it?

Very good, it looks vey nice.

I thing a sound is good.I used 8080 marshall, clean - 9, distortion 7

Very friendly.

Summary okay, but body it's made of not specially material.

I'm playing 20 years.Compared with my other guitars Onyx is good.

no idea where it was made.. got from italy, however it was fitted with czech tesla potmeters.
22 frets, probably solid top, 3 way switch , two volume and tone knobs
two humbuckers, as usual.
Satin red finish, black plastic plate around pickups, larger than on LPs
tunomatic and stop tailpiece. tuners are realatively big, non lockers.
Neck is rosewood, very thin. At first sight I thought it was a toy guitar. Good for beginners, really hard for barre chords.

clean sound is very "electric", good and clean when distorted. (sounds
strange but I guess you know what I mean)
I used to p?lay lots of Stones stuff, and the thin neck is ideal for
5 string arrangement and slide.
Pain in the ass for jazzy chordwork. The guy who bought it from me is planning to play symphonic metal with it. Good luck.

no idea for factory setup, it was secondhand. i didnt have any idea
about guitar setups when I had it.

i used to play it several times live, having this as my only electric.
I have to be fair and say that it had never left me in trouble.
Would I use it on a gig without backup? I'd rather say I'd use it as a backup.

no idea about the company. is it australian? or Czech?

I've been palying for 15 years. I learnt playing on this one. Now
I have an Epiphone special II, which looks as a more serious guitar,
but it's not 'so much' better. I really had to replace as my palms and fngers started to hurt when playing more complicated chords. The epi has a fat, almost fender like neck, so that it's easier for jazz.
I wish I had kept it and convert to 5 string for Stones tunes.
