Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Received the guitar about two weeks ago. Immediately upon picking it up you can tell it is of high quality. The sweet scent that emanates from both the guitar and case has to be experienced. (Fellow Gibson fans know this smell!) No flaws to be found, great setup out of the box - low action, intonation spot on, etc... A myriad of tones at your disposal, from classic throaty tones the Les Paul is known for, to quacky cleans thanks to the coil-taps, out of phase, etc... The blower switch is also a fantastic addition. The asymmetrical neck took no time to get used to, it feels like an old friend - not too thick or thin. zZounds was great. The guitar was very well packaged, and shipped immediately. That combined with their Play as you pay plan makes them hard to compete with. Gibson and zZounds get an A+
