What Your Guitar Says About You , Part 1 .
Gibson Les Paul Classic
This player is a man who values tradition and history . He is probably in his early 20s – late 30s .
The owner of this guitar may not be super rich , but he isn’t afraid to spend . He knows that the value of Gibson increases every year . The owner is confident on this purchase decision and he is very sure of himself .
For him , it is like buying a beautiful guitar that he can pass down to his son. At the same time not worrying about the resale value .
With the same amount of money , he could had gotten a PRS Custom 24 which is more practical , better build for him. But Owning a Gibson Les Paul Classic is more than buying a guitar . It is having a piece of history , an iconic guitar in his arms .
The player has thought for a long time ..a Gibson Les Paul Standard or a Gibson Les Paul Classic . He has the money for both , but he choose to be slightly understated – The Gibson Les Paul Classic , realizing the a Standard is a little too flashy for his style .
.
.
He has execellent taste for his Les pauls – demanding it ONLY to be in Honey burst , Cherry burst or a Vintage sunburst .
This player isn’t afraid to show off his guitar to the crowd . He doesn’t do long hour gigs (Les Pauls are heavy!) , he prefers to do 3-5 songs kinda gig . He believes in Stage presence , crowd atmosphere and Iconic in-your-face loud & proud guitar solos (think Gary Moore) .
The owner loves classic rock from the 80s – think Jimmy Page , Slash , Gary Moore ..He always have that “rockstar guitar hero” dream , or he is already a rockstar in his arena .
The player is an extremely nice & humble person , unlike his evil twin- the Gibson Les Paul Standard Owner. (A Gibson Les Paul Standard screams “I am a rockstar bitch , and i do not care what you think about me” ). The owner is very sure of himself , he doesn’t need to be a dick by wearing tight leather jeans , spend 2 hours on his hair , put up some lame chunky sunglasses everytime he performs . He believes in his music and his guitar solos.
A high chance the owner has a beautiful Marshall Tube amp at home , making his guitar and his amp the perfect pair .
The owner doesn’t dig “modern pedals” , he likes straight up simple-vintage-great pedals setup . An Original Ibanez Tubescreamer from the 80s or a Klon Centaur would be his ideal pedal .
The player knows that the “world of guitar tones” is much more than his simple Gibson Les Paul Classic and his Marshall tube amp setup. But he is happy , satisfy , contend with what he has . The owner enjoys the company of a smart , independent & elegant woman . He doesn’t need to have MANY women around him . All he ask is a beautiful , quality , elegant woman to follow him throughout his journey of life .
So Gibson Les Paul Classic owners , is this person you?
