What can I say? This is the only guitar I've ever wanted to play! Like a silent Friend, it has been with me through it all. It has the battlescars to prove it; the headstock has been broken off two times and it's been run over by a car. It kicks so much butt though: thick low end tones, screaming high end tones. I always loved Carlos Santana's sustain, especially on "Samba Pa Ti." Well, that's how you get it, a big ol' Les Paul.
