Great Les Paul. P90 pickups surprisingly good. Had a gouge next to strap button. I ultimately returned it and had to give kudos to Monoprice's customer service. Very happy customer here!
A solid Les Paul - expect a wee bit of set up work.
I received my 66SB in black today?and it is a beauty! I compared it side-by-side with my Gibson LP Studio - and was shocked that the tones were not that far off the mark - for 10x the value! Of course, workmanship is not to the same level, however the neck profile feels the same, the finish is very fine - one small Nick in the binding on the horn.
I was a little disappointed in the dime-sized pots - would have like to seen full-sized like my Indio Retro DLX. But the pickups - oh my, they really stand up to some beautiful tones - a lbs very versatile!
I took one star off for the small finish flaw, a little electronics crackle that needed cleaning and the dime sized pots. I absolutely love the headstock and the tuners are a treat!
However, the luthier setting it up - not so happy with. Action - the strings were resting on the frets (frets are good and level!) and intonation was quite a bit out on four strings (although it looks like good D?Addario strings!). It must have been coffee break?
You sent me a return. Shame on you. Lucky for me, I know how to work on guitars. I'll make it playable. Eventually. Disappointed in Amazon for deceiving me but, nobody died so, carry on..
Ready to play out of the box. Usually, I change strings immediately, but did not have to on this guitar. Instrument was set up to my liking and needed little adjustment. (I did lower the bridge pickup as it was too close to the strings.) The tone is awesome, and the neck is easy to play. No fret sprout or sharp fret ends. Very impressed. Thanks!
The P90's sound great and it's a real looker! The only problem was the frets - some dead spots high on the treble side and sharp frets catching the high E string. Minus one star...
This guitar came setup very well. It plays and sounds pretty much as good as any guitar at any price. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because it came with a bent tuner, and a minor scratch on the butt end of the guitar. Monoprice made it right with a small refund, so I just replaced the tuners. I like this guitar better than some far more expensive guitars.
