LyxPro39” SB Series Electric Guitar, LP Style for Beginner, Intermediate & Pro Players Solid Body Guitar, Bonus 2-Pack of Picks, Mahogany Wood, Volume/Tone Controls, 3-Way Pickup - Black

Around the time that Gibson launched their Adam Jones custom silverburst LP I started listening to Tool on rotation (still am!) and wanted to get that unique Jones tone, but didn’t want to spend a fortune and…I’m left-handed :(. So I looked here for a decent budget guitar to mod and found this awesome green LyxPro lefty LP!To start, this is a budget guitar so I was expecting some faults, which it does have. The finish on the body isn’t perfect as there are a couple of runs under the topcoat. Also, the topcoat is rather brittle around the edges, as I discovered when replacing the jack plate with something more robust. There were tiny pin sized holes in the fretboard which I filled with some ebony fretboard filler and sanded down. The pots were your standard budget pots with not much fine control, and the toggle switch was glitchy but fixed when I required the guitar for the mods. But beyond that this guitar is great! The body is solid wood, the tuners are good and hold in tune, the edges of the fretboard are rather smooth and comfortable. It feels nice under my hand. The frets ends were also nicely rounded off, this not sharp. Solid plastic nut and sturdy tailpiece.Now, for the modifications I made to get that Adam Jones sound: I removed all the electronics and replace them with a Seymour Duncan Super Distortion bridge pickup, and a Gibson custom neck humbucker pickup. For the pots, I replaced the bridge volume with a DiMarzio 500k audio taper pot for awesome volume control allowing for a clean tone when turned down. All other pots were replaced with CTS 500k short-shaft pots. In addition, I bought new .047uF drop capacitors to add between tone and volume pots. I got a new jack and Jack plate for which I needed to drill new and fill in old holes to fit it. I rewired everything myself using the modern wiring schematic (if I remember correctly), added some lefty dials, a new toggle plate, new chrome toggle tip, new Ernie Ball strings and I was ready to rock. The second I plugged it in for the first time and turned the volume up, I got goosebumps. It sounded amazing and now screeched like it needs to for playing Tool songs. Out of my 7 guitars, it is now by far my favorite and I play it on a daily basis. And of course I had to make an Adam Jones style guitar strap to go with it.Overall, this was a great guitar as I bought it, and an awesome guitar for any beginner. But after my, this thing is a rock legend with outstanding sustain. I highly recommend.

This Les Paul is awesome. Absolutely beautiful metallic gold finish. Looks just like a Gibson, you'd never know unless you saw the name on the headstock. Please see the attached pictures - I did replace the knobs and added pointer washers to them but you can see the original "speed" knobs in the third picture. Like someone else commented, the top strap peg came out very shortly after playing standing up, so I recommend you secure it with glue or something right away so the guitar doesn't fall unexpectedly. Overall this guitar is great. Excellent value for the price. Also I recommend putting on a fresh pair of strings. I put in PAF pickups and it sounds awesome. Playability is good. I really don't have any complaints about this guitar. I highly recommend this to any guitar player especially if you are interested in learning to play guitar and don't want to break the bank.

While the craftsmanship was first class, the guitar had a few problems. It had the worst back bow I’ve ever seen. Used the included allen wrench to correct that. Not sure a beginner could have figured that out. Next, the first four frets had some sharp edges, so I filed those down. They were not terrible tho. The rest of the frets were acceptable. Finally, the 13th fret was high enough to cause fret buzz on the three bass strings. I filed that down some and set the action a little high and that seems to have resolved it. I’ll probably go back and reduce it more in the future. All other frets OK. The guitar itself is a real beauty. Love the color (green) and the paint job was flawless. No loose hardware, tuners etc. Sound is pretty good. All said, a good purchase if you or someone you know can do a basic setup on it.

Had to set the relief in the neck other than that plays good

Rhythm pickup had no volume. Treble pickup ok and middle selection is like treble. Appears to have a broken pickup at receipt. Returned item straight away. No sense in troubleshooting just to find out internal coils is at fault. I didn’t want to open the guitar covers to avoid a fault of my own. Action was a little high but is playable and without buzzing. The fret edges are sharp enough to scrape fingers and need polishing. Tuners work fine. The working pickup sounds fine. The bad pickup is disappointing. Looks are ok but not pristine. Light for a Les Paul. I kind of liked that it’s light weight.

I am pleasantly surprised by this guitar. The finish is spectacular, the neck feel and fretboard binding are perfect. It is a bit heavy, but as an SG body, this is to be expected. Strat style guitars are lighter, because the bodies are thinner as well. The pickups sound really good.There is an issue with the selector switch which I will have to swap out b/c it sometimes does not select the humbucker.I got this guitar to swap out the pickups with a pair of Fishman Fluence pickups. But after having plugged it in, I don't think I want to change the pickups. They sound really good.This guitar can easily go head to head with 2k+ $ guitars by Gibson.

I bought this guitar knowing that I was going to have to do a little bit of setup once I adjusted the neck and Polished the frets put on a new set of strings I found this guitar to be smooth playing I've been playing guitar all my life I love this guitar I just I can't believe it's so much like a real Les Paul it's a fantastic gift for anybody whether you're a beginner or a pro it plays beautifully the electronics is all solid just a really nice piece unbelievable for the price!
