"Iam a southern rocker, but I think you could play any style on it use your controls,happy playing"

Feature:
had to get a hard case,to put it in, every gibson should have a hard case,

Quality:
the quality of mine is very good for what it is,Not used to such a light guitar,Iam not worried about any thing breaking,other than strings LOL,will be installing strap locks,will not be wearing a belt buckle while playing, It is a beautifull guitar and it will stay that way,if I go on the road it will go with me,it will be my maine guitar

Value:
this guitar is well worth what I paid for it,I am a gibson man, gibson fan

Desirability:
I had my choise of several diferent Les Pauls from studio,custome,I did buy the menace I like the looks,the sound is better,than some others that I've played,every one that see's it can't stop looking at it and they want to touch it,kinda like what they do around Harley's,

Sound:
I had a 70's gibson RD,that got lost several years ago,have been looking for some thing that sounds somewhat like it,I think the menace comes close.

Ease of Use:
it is not hard getting the sound that I want.I plug straight into my amp,Marshall Valvestate 2000,screams

Support:
have delt with them years ago turned out ok as I recall.

Overall:
I plan to have it for the rest of my life ,if it got lost or stole from me it would have to be replaced,with another menace

"Fair price for a fairly good product!"

Feature:
Not much accessories came with it (I am comparing to Ibanez Artcore guitar , which had all necessary keys and even a spare bridge and manual), but the hard case is very good!

Quality:
Well.. quality could possibly be better for a premium brand, but, again - no major complaints. Tightened a couple of nuts, no other adjustments needed - I've been excersising with guitar right out of the box. I think (just think) it came with cheap strings, but did not change strings yet - they seem to be in good shape.

Value:
I think, for a Gibson this guitar has a fair price (I paid EUR 1,100). Possibly an ESP or Ibanez might be a better deal, but go find out yourself..

Desirability:
It looks cool (especially on photos). When you get actual thing it is not THAT exciting, but still 'got the look'. Maybe removing fist logo on 5th fret and replacing it with a 'heart' logo will make this instrument look better.

Sound:
Dark and strong sound, especially from neck pickup. I am using neck pickup alomost exclusively while playing.

Ease of Use:
First I did not like the neck - seemed a bit dry to me, but now it seems to be fine, I guess - just got used to it. Otherwise I like everyuthing about this instrument - it is not as heavy as classig LPs and performs very well to my taste and skills.

Support:
No idea - did not call Gibson, as there are no troubles.

Overall:
I think I will keep this guitar until I will buy a Gibson Classic or, possibly, a PRS.
