    Best LP tone I’ve heard in a very long time. I’ve never had the right kind of chemistry with Gibson. There’s so much I don’t like about them, yet I still play as many as I can.

      I kinda agree but there is something magical about a les paul and a deluxe reverb with maybe an overdrive.
      It’s a killer combination and and blissful in the right hands
