So whats my take on the R6?
1. Elephant in the room - the relic work. Now im not a relic guitar guy nor have I owned on up till now. But I have to say I think its great. The neck in particular just feels like an old worn in neck and doesnt have that stup looking poo smudge fender puts on necks. The guitar itslef feels great in the arm. CS has done a wonderful job on it I think.
2. Neck. Its beefy. But not ridiculous. CS has been attentive with the frets and fret ends. The fretboard is a lovely dark rose wood. I changed the (I presume 10s) strings for 11-49 and it plays low fast and true.
3. The guitar feels weighty. Ive not weighed it but yep shes a big girl. With this comes some pleasing resonance.
4. The p90s wont blow your head off, which is what I like. Through Robs (not dimed) Marshall we got some wonderful tones. The most enjoyable sound for me was through my 6g6b bassman clone. With a goodly amout of attenuation and some atmospheric reverb the smooth just broken up sound of the mid and neck position was just so musical. Sounded just lovely with the organ behind it (JB) .
Now im absolutely NOT a les paul expert. Infact, other than my Jnr this is the only les paul ive owned. But I think its a good one
