We get excited upon seeing a Les Paul-like guitar because the instrument's reputation precedes everything else. UNO's Standard isn't a Les Paul, it just looks like one. The Standard is my most likable UNO singlecut design & it's the most affordable in its range- it's Indonesian. However, the manufacturer took measures to make this guitar (very) attractive- stunning looks as depicted above, custom TESLA humbuckers & superb construction; the model I tried was faultless. However, the other attraction is the guitar's thinner body akin to what ESP has to offer with the Eclipse models but the extra seduction here is that slim neck. Imagine a Gibson slim taper profile but only slimmer (nothing Ibanez-thin though...). You like distortion? The Standard performs well with loads of that. Nice cleans for you? Just engage the neck humbucker & listen. Sub-$1K budget for you? Well, it's only $590...

wow, matching headstock!
tasty, yes? :-)
Gorgeous finish right there... droolable!
i think i'm beyond eye candy now... was too busy inspecting QC & checking out the tone yesterday :-)
this vs the rally g300??
I love the finishing of this Guitar..
to be fair to Rally's GL-300, the Std has a different body depth & neck profile, the Original would be a better comparison :-)
ok then, what do you think about the build/QC aspects between these and the rally g300? albeit different body depth & neck profile
The thing about these guitars is... they still sport the gloss finish on the necks. I am assuming the UNO does as well?
there are selected models which sport a matte body finish- will check if it extends to the neck :-)
I totally like it !!! thanks for letting us know, I did't know anything about that brand. I did some googling, they seem to be a good deal
:-) many of us are rather dismissive when it comes to the unknown brand names. getting mine soon...
Hi!
Does this guitar has a maple top + veneer or just mahogany + veneer?
I guess based on the price it's the latter.
the price per se gives such implications. but will check & update here :-)
