If a Les Paul with a plus top wasn't enough, let me further add a guitar to the mix with a fabled Redeemer in it. You won't find this upgrade in a Gibson catalog because the Redeemer was added to this guitar by the makers of the unit, Creation Audio Labs. I know, you are all wondering "just what is a Redeemer"? Simply put, a Redeemer compensates for signal loss and noise whereas you can have a clean channel from your amp to the input of this guitar. Clean power, no buzz, no crackling, no BS. As for the guitar itself? Well, just look at this beast. A 'Paul through a Marshall is what Rock legends have been doing since "Lost in Space was on prime time. The top is stunning, the feel is what you've come to expect and the tone is really what will give you the motivation to play. 'Elks, it's time to live a little and I know we're in an economic downturn which is even more reason to buy yourself a new guitar. For the love of God, the Mayans say it will all be over in December anyway, so we might as well go out in style. Show up on your ex- girlfriends front lawn at 2am on Dec. 21st (along with a Marshall 100 watt, of course), not to mention a power attenuator and a Flux capacitor and play "Rock-n-Roll All Nite and Party Every Day" at full volume. Then, she'll know that she should of never called it off with you. See it's a win/ win, except if the world doesn't come to an end. Then, it's a case of a couple of nights in jail never hurt anyone...
