I have played most every major brand out there, I have played a lot or usa PRS, Gibson USA, being the most familiar and ones I have had the most experience.The Playability of this guitar stands with the best, the Pick up's are amazing, I've never had a guitar feel like this in my hands, I'm not sure you can go wrong with any LIII, but I sure love this one. Worth every dime.
