Tradition S10Q

Les paul style. i dont know when it was made. It says on the back of the headstock, Made In China, which worried me at first (but that was changed!). 22 frets. Laminated top. 2 Volume Controls, 2 Tone controls, 3 way selector switch.Passive electronics. Its a solid alder body (heavy like a paul too). Quilted top. Single cutaway, its a les paul shape. Tune-O-Matic. Dont know what the tuners are, looks liek Grovers though. The neck is right inbetween fat and thin, just perfect. Rosewood fretboard.
Gets the perfect ten in my book.

It suits my style PERFECTLY. I play punk and ska, and it works soo so well. Im replacing the bridge pickup for a Duncan Distortion, i need something with just a little more bite.
NOt very noisy at all, but there is some feedback when your not touching the strings. It has a very full sound. It can make just about any sound you want.
THe only thing i dislike is how much difference there is between the neck and bridge pickups

The finish on this guitar IS AMAZING. Its what drew me to it in the first place. Beautiful red quilted finish.
The pickups were already adjusted when i bought it. The input jack goes loose every once in a while, but no bother. This thing keeps tune so well, i rarely have to retune it. The 3 way switch is a little loose, but im getting that fixed

Havnt used it live, but ive played it for hours in a row, so im guessing it would hold up live. The hardware does seem like it will last, excellent work on it. THe strap buttons are ok, but im getting strap-loks put in. I can depend on this guitar for just about anything. I could use it without a backup for gigging, but never would, dont wanna take the risk

Havnt had to deal with them yet

Ive been playing for just over two years now, i also own an Aria Pro II Fullerton. If it were stolen, id go find out who did it, and rip their ****ing head off. Then use the guitar and show off to his dead body. lol, just kidding, but id hurt em.
I love everything about it, nothin to hate. Favourite feature is that is almost never goes out of tune. Ive compared this to a few others, including an Epiphone, and this one beat them all by a landslide.
I wish it had better stock pickups, like Duncans or Dimarzios, but for now, they suit me fine.

Mine is an older incarnation of this instrument; Tradition evidently went through some changes along the way...you can tell the difference by the shape of the headstock...this one is a lovely transparent blue LP standard copy...the previous owner changed the cream color pickguard and bezels for black, and went with chrome speed knobs, so cosmetically, it's quite attractive...standard LP type guitar...great player....

Real good sound: round and full, just like an LP, but without the crippling pricetag

it's pretty...no it's not perfect, but i didn't pay for perfect, and i want a guitar that i'm not afraid to play...action and fingerborad are nice, but it could use some upgrade tuners...

solid and reliable, but NEVER gig w/o a backup!!!

don't know...my dealer is dropping the line, but they do warranty stuff id needed...

this is one of 3 Tradition LP's i own....do i like 'em?....yeah, i do....i play 'em...'nuff said...i've now been doing this for 33 years, and these are just right for me....i'm like the island of misfit toys: i give the weird and unwanted junk that you can get cheap a home, and make beautiful music with it....

This guitar featured everthing I wanted or needed. All I had to get was a case.

The sound of this guitar straight out of the factory will rival, ah hell, it flat out beats an Epiphone & for half the price !!!

I give this a 10 ! the action & fit are great, It has a beautiful finish !!!

I just got this guitar so I don't want to rate something I'm not sure on but, if the reliability & durability are like everything else with this guitar, I'd say there wouldn't be anything to worry about....

I have not had to deal with this either so I can't rate it but I can say this: This guitar has a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. Buy this guitar from a dealer who's been around for a while & that you trust. If you ever need warranty service, a good dealer will stand behind what he sells... so you should only be dealing with your local dealer.

I have to rate this a 10 also, it is a fantastic guitar for the price. I have not been playing all that long but, I have done alot research on many different brands of guitars as far as price, features, quality of construction & components etc. & I simply don't think you can go wrong by buying one of these....

22 Frets, Bolt on Neck, Gibson Style Humbuckers and Tuners, 2 volume, 2 tone controls, 3 way pickup selector, creme pickgaurd, Tune O Matic bridge with a soapbar stop tail piece.

This guitar has many features to shape your tone on the guitar side!

No Accessories included MADE IN CHINA

HELL YEAH! This guitar can go from Tony Rambolo, to BB King to Tom Delonge in seconds! The tone is bright and punchy with a bit of low tone due to the Les Paul styling! The guitar is not noisy at all, infact it is silent! I play mostly punk (Emo, Hardcore, Pop ETC) and this guitar doe's it all! My style is kindda like El Hefe from NOFX and Damon from Fenix TX, it can accomidate both with ease!

The guitar spent 2 days on the show room floor and I was the first and last to touch it! The pickups were set perfect apon purchase, there was almost no adjusting at all. The Finish is very nice and is better than some I have seen on Gibsons!

WAY! The only thing is I did'nt buy a case or straplocks for it yet, so I don't think i'll be playing it standing up or in a live playing situation. The hardware is solid and not cheap like some, The tune O matic bridge is especially kind or your palm when doing palm muting. I would gig with this anytime without a backup!

..........Uhhhh Store warranty, company is owned by Gibson and Samick

Very cool! I have been playing for almost 4 years now and this is the best guitar I have owned! I fit were stolen I would cry for days and probably give up music for good! I love everything about it, but I need to score some straplocks! Heres my setup.......
Tradition Les Paul>Dano Tuner>Fender Princeton 65 Reverb Amp

Thise guitar has 2 tone controls, 2 volume controls, 2 covered "gibson style" humbuckers, 3 way switching and 23 frets. The Neck and is the same color as the body (Greenish Blue) and is a bolt on neck. This guitar has the same features as any Les Paul.

AMAZING! The deep mohogany tone is breath taking and the pickups are bright in my shitty princeton 65. Since I use the neck pickup mostly you can get a Tony Rambolla tone in seconds with a bit of overdrive. It isn't noisey and there is nothing I dislike about the guitar!

I use the guitar with these effects.......
Danelectro Flanger
Dano Tuner
Dano Chorus

This guitar fit my body perfectly when I straped it on. The finish is wild and I love it! The Pickups are 2 humbuckers (neck and bridge). The guitar weighs almost nothing, perfect for the occasional punk jump! The guitar came perfect from the factory and spent 2 days on the floor of a music store!

This guitar can take anything! I slapped some gold strap-locks on it and I won't drop it! I would gig without a backup, no prob! I would go on tour with just this guitar! The finish is solid and could take a few hits! Overall 10!

Made in China. There are 23 frets. Laminated top. Volume and tone. Mahogany body and rosewood fretboard. Sunburst red (very nice). Les paul style. Rosewood neck.

I couldnt ask for a much better guitar. I am into blues music and this guitar is amazing it has amazing sound and tone. It has a rich sound that is absolutely breathtaking. Bend, Hammer, Etc.. It can do it all with perfect sound. If you are looking for a guitar that sounds as good as it looks you have found it.

Every thing was perfect when i got it nothing wrong pickups fine perfect guitar.

As far as im concerned this guitar could be played by some of the greatest guitar players ever and it would be perfect. This guitar could last you forever i couldnt ask for a more reliable and durable guitar.

I ordered it from a local store so i havent really delt with the company. But the warranty on mine is a liftime limited warranty AWESOME.

I have been playing for almost a year. Everything is self explanatory. If it were stolen or lost i would buy 50 more if i had to. I love everything about it there is nothing wrong with it what so ever. My favorite feature is probably the great sound. Sure i compare it to other guitars nothing else compares though. I know tradition isnt the biggest name out there but if you are looking for a great guitar and great price Tradition could be the biggest name in guitars. I wish they came with a case but thats not a big deal. If you are looking into electric guitar playing and you want the best guitar for your money look no farther you have found the perfect guitar. I only wish i could give it an 11.

2000 yr model. China I believe. 22 frets. Dual humbuckers. Solid (heavy) Alder wood body, Maple neck, rosewood fretboard. Fine gloss finish. Traditional LP style body, bridge. DIe-cast tuners.

I play blues, and rock mailny. Suits me fine. Running thrugh a Digiteck RP-200 modeling pedal, and a Marshall stack. With this setup, I get some killer tones! Very versitile guitar.

Setup from the factory was fair. some slight buzzing , but not bad at all. Pickup were adjusted when I had the axe setup. The controls seem average, except the jack for the cord was junk. I had it replaced. BNow that's fine.

This guitar is built like a tank! I think it will withstand anything I'll ever throw at it. Strap buttons seem solid. I would gig with it without backup (if I had to).

n/a

I've been playing for 30 years, on and off. Mostly off for the last 15 or so years but now i'm back to stay! I would definately buy this guitar again (however, next time i'd probably go with the S20Q with a set-neck). This is about the best Les Paul copy I've seen out there anywhere in this price range. An awesome value. I may become a local dealer!
