"Do yourself a favour & go and try one out, you will be surpised"
Sound: Acoustically the guitar has a warm & rich sound & souded great for strumming,fingerpicking & fast lead runs. Feature: Top quality materials inlude AAA rosewood back & sides, sitka spruce top,lovely abalone rosette & real MOP inlays. The ebony fingerboard is a real treat to play with fast easy action Ease of Use: Very easy to play, everyone that has played it are surprised by the sound & by how light it is. Quality: This instrument is meticuously made & exudes the quality & finish of a premium guitar which will last many years Value: You can bargain as I did to get a better price, but price aside I tested it back to back against approx 15 other guitars including Gibson SJ200, Hummingbirds, Emmylou Harris Model,JC185 etc,Various Martins incl Eric Clapton Model(2nd preference), but overall this one had the best sound & I kept going back to it. Manufacturer Support: No problems The Wow Factor: Stunningly beautiful, congratulations to the guys at Gibson Overall: I am very pleased with this guitar & have no intention on replacing it, the sitka top has a tough nitro cellulose finish which is great as it has no scratch plate. One minor criticism is the active preamp which does not get anywhere near revealing the guitars true acoustic qualities when amplified, (I would suggest installing a high quality preamp for performing). Apart from this, this is one cracking guitar.
