I’ve owned a lot of guitars, budget to mid tier to premium. This is probably the best overall in quality guitar I have had the pleasure of owning. It sounds otherworldly in a deluxe reverb 65, i mean smooth like butter. It also shines in a Marshall JCM in a 4x12 stack with high gain. It doesn't go out tune that easily. I can play it for a few days and barely have to tune it. The sustain is also glorious. You can really express yourself with it. It’s absolutely beautiful, it just makes me want to play it everytime I look at it. I have sold all my other guitars and just keeping this one. This is the only one I play anymore, as nothing really compares to it. Once you play one of these, it’s hard to go back.
Echoing some of the comments I've heard, Gibson could put more love in certain aspects. The case is not as good as they used to be from Gibson. I’ve owned a few in the past. The lid just doesn’t stay up which is a pretty small but quite frustrating feature. Minor detail, but the nut doesnt have the cleanest finish, it looks like its been patched together. Might be just human error on mine. But again for 3k+ these details should be fixed. This is a complaint I have across the board for most of these guitar manufacturers, they cut more corners lately than they used to. But nevertheless a glorious guitar ❤️
