Verdict
These four new models are a nice take on the Les Paul and if you like a bit of extra bling, or if you want those extra switching options, with modern playability and weight relief these could be just what you need.
Prices include a Gibson hard case and for a made in the USA they are priced about right, considering they are being advertised as a premium model.
