Feature:
The chambered body helps reduce weight - resulting balance is just right - and the maple cap on the rear makes the guitar even more comfortable to use.

Quality:
Mine was a year old when I bought it but in almost mint condition. Everything where it should be and of excellent quality - almost seems like a custom shop model.

Value:
Although expensive it is comparable to other equivalent spec guitars

Desirability:
Although most people prefer the translucent finishes Ebony was the only choice for me.

Sound:
All the tones I will ever need. I find the 490R/498T combination almost perfect for my playing style.

Ease of Use:
How easy can a guitar get to play - better than anything else I've ever played (and thats a lot of guitars over a very long time!)

Support:
Not had any dealings with Gibson so can't really say.

Overall:
This is a stunning guitar with great looks, killer tone, great playability and some unique features (like the chambered body and no back plates). I was planning to get a LP Custom but when I compared it with the Supreme there wasn't really any choice, especially as prices (in the UK) are now about the same for both models.

"Great guitar - I am stoked with this thing"

Feature:
How much acessories do you need? It's a Les Paul

Quality:
beautiful to even look at

Value:
Expensive, and you might get better value out there, but this guitar rules

Desirability:
Might be bets looking guitar out there

Sound:
much more upside than my 86 Les Paul custom

Support:
I gave thios a 10, because there was no NA choice. I never used Gibson's support, so I have no idea

Overall:
Very happy. Won't be buying another guitar for a while
