The Les Paul number VIII guitar from French luthier Thierry Ceresa under his brand Cherry's (cherrysguitars.com) is an exceptional guitar! The demo below is a compilation of the playing sequences from the Direct Backstage live show on September 2, 2022 on La Chaîne Guitare.
The guitar is plugged into the Universal Audio Dream 65 preamp pedal which recreates the sound of a 1965 Fender Deluxe, including the sublime spring reverb.
No other overdrive or boost was used.
Only a ping pong delay and a stereo reverb are added on the part where I think I sound like Gary Moore.

Conclusion
So, what do you think?
For me it is definitely one of the best, if not the best, Les Paul type guitar I was able to get my hands on. It sounds superb and plays like a dream.
Until the next gear review or interview, keep on playing the guitar!
Pierre Journel.
