I've been playing for over 20 years. The Gibson standard has somehow always been the holy grail, but that must have been in the good old days. The guitar that arrived at my address after 7 weeks of waiting did not meet my expectations in terms of build quality. The saddle on the brand new guitar was cut off and the upper part of the second saddle was glued to it.
Some parts of the guitar have not been cleaned as they are covered with a plastic cover so why bother Gibson ?. The suitcase in which the guitar arrived was made sloppy with visible remnants of glue both on the edges and inside.
Fortunately, the sound of the guitar is as expected. All in all. If you think you really need to have a Gibson standard then buy it somewhere where you can check it out before you spend so much money. Thomann delivered the guitar on time and their professionalism is probably the only thing that keeps Gibson alive.
Want a good guitar for that money? Don't buy a new Gibson.
