Reminds me more of the TK.  :P

I have one of those guitars here and there\'s some pics on my blog:

I totally have to write the second part of this test and do some recordings but don\'t have the time and muse right now.

All in all I think it\'s a very nice guitar for the money you have to pay. And that\'s without the whole fanboy/addict disorders we all seem to have. A nice Les Paul that I like much better than the \'91 black Standard I once had.

I honestly don\'t like it at all. It\'s huge, and doesn\'t sound that focused...pretty muddy.

^^^^^for the size I would think it would matter for how tall you are, if you\'re a shorter person then yes it\'s gonna be huge but if you\'re like 6\'3" like me it actually feels pretty normal, played one last week over at my bot\'s house I wanted to kill him for having one >:(   btw for the frets I can reach to about 7 - 7.5 on a good day and I don\'t think I have too big of hands (about 9 inches got curious one day) my fingers are pretty long too so that helps a little.

i think the way it was engineered was very interesting to read about.  it is the first semi-semi hallow i have heard of.. haha.  it explains how he can get such good clean and heavy distortion sounds on the same guitar. i\'d love to try it myself

actually a lot of the newer les paul\'s can be chambered like this, not to be confused with semi- hollow, which this guitar is not.  you can also get epiphone les pauls chambered, they have a few different models that it comes standard with. It reduces a lot of the weight, which is a large amount of complaints for most. semi hollows are more like a 335, often with clefs to allow for sound to escape.
