"A REAL GUITAR FOR A REAL LOW PRICE!!!"

Feature:
I really feel Gibson struck gold on this combination of pickups and the chicken head selector makes it all worth while.The only complaint would be that its virtually impossible to make quick switches between pickups.Otherwise hold on to your ass because your in for a hellofan experience!!

Quality:
Its a Gibson, need I say more??????

Value:
For the price? Just try to find a better value, you'll be wasting a lot of valuable playing time!

Desirability:
At first I was concerned about the faded look, but it grows on you, believe me when I say that Im no fan of the faded look, but this is nice, unlike some of those guitars that look like they were pulled from a trash heap, appear used and abused and priced way too high just because they "look like" some famous guitarists guitar- WHAT A SCAM!!

Sound:
The sounds that this guitar produces are like no other, I have to say that I have owned a lot of guitars, but none with sounds so crisp and crunchy at the same time, its just incredible!

Ease of Use:
This plays like butter, soft and sweet, the neck allows for really low action without the annoying buzz you get with other, less quality necks.

Support:
Haven't needed them, I mentioned its a Gibson didn't I???

Overall:
I will own this guitar when I die. THATS how satisfied I am. Thank you Gibson!
