Only reason for the 4-star rating is the price. Otherwise, this is a loud graphic on a really nice Les Paul. When you can get LP Standards for over a Grand less, you really need to make a statement (and a paycheck)to want to pay the extra dime for this premium edition. Though I haven't tried the Epiphone version yet, they are selling for about 1/7 the price. You can always pay a few bucks to upgrade the copy too!
