the best part is.... (drum roll) I can play it and if it gets bumped or dinged, I'll never know! I can beat this les Paul custom shop to hell and it is only going to be worth more!!!! haha ( evil grin )
Sound
the best sound ever clean or dirty but especially scorching!
Features
everything is the highest quality, simple features, but the highest of quality.
Ease of Use
even if u suck this guitar will make u sound better, but if u already slick, slow down or u will crash. It is like driving a Ferarri if ur used to a Honda.
Quality
the craftmanship and attention to detail, especially with the aged finish.... It will make u cream... Seriously...
Value
I spent about 5 g's on this rocketship. Listing over 12 and selling at GC & MF for 8 g's... I'll say I got some good value here!
Manufacturer Support
zzsounds had great support. Gibson... I think they will too, I am keeping this puppy for myself so I will b sending in the lifetime warranty card. Every thing on this guitar looks aged. So if god for bid a tuning peg broke , I can't just go out and buy some new ones to keep it all real .
The Wow Factor
I can't stop playing it , looking at it, touching it, inspecting it , examining it, I think I may even sleep with it tonight!
