REVIEWS
Feature:
1 single-coil pickup. 1 volume. 1 tone. top of the line hardware (Gibson has no bottom of the line). Don't know what wood was used, but the LPMM is almost as light as a tennis racquet

Quality:
It's a Gibson.

Value:
best new guitar value I've ever seen.

Desirability:
Les is more

Sound:
1 p-90 in a thin slab. the p-90 is a staple in guitar sound; whether you like or not, you know what to expect. I like it a lot. Great for rhythm & leads that don't require humbucker-like sustain. The volume and tone pots are interactively set-up, so rolling off the volume gives you a meatier sound if you adjust the volume through external ampage. This guitar does jazz quite nicely and not sound like Leslie West when distorted. It's so bare-bones and basic that it responds more purely than more loaded axes to distortion/overdrive & other fx.

Support:
really N/A. making a product that doesn't require technical support is support enough.

Overall:
It plays great, feels great, sounds quite good, works great with effects.
