Feature:
My only disappointment is that it does not have an ebony fretboard....I have since found out about the Kiefer Sutherland inspired model, but that is about $1000 more than I paid for mine.

Quality:
It did need a setup, and the nut was not cut very well, plus it was made of plastic...I expected slightly better quality control, but once it was et up to my specifications....didn't matter.

Value:
Worth every penny....I have owned this guitar for 7 months and it has become my main electric axe.

Desirability:
This guitar caught my eye one day in my local shop and I couldn't get it out of my mind. Went back to play it twice....wasn't really looking for another axe, but this one was too good to let go.

Sound:
This guitar has amazing tone and sound.....the stock humbuckers are very full and lush.....lots of variation between pickup selection and tone controls.

Ease of Use:
Superb playability, absolutely love the carved body and how it hugs me when I play it.....extremely comfortable and lightweight.

Support:
Haven't had to use it.

Overall:
Clearly one of the best looking, best playing electric guitars I have ever owned...I could easily see myself picking up another one or two in the coming years......

Feature:
IT ALL WORKS FINE FOR ME.

Quality:
TAKEN CARE OF THE 336 SHOULD LAST AS LONG AS ANY OTHER GIBSON...... AND THEY LAST A LONG LONG TIME, AND GET BETTER WITH AGE. UNLESS YOU ARE PRONE TO LEAVING THEM OUT IN THE RAIN, OR SOMETHING EQUALLY RETARDED.

Value:
I BOUGHT THIS ONE USED....1 WEEK OLD...GOT A REAL GOOD DEAL

Desirability:
IT WORKS FOR ME

Sound:
HAVE OWNED THE 336 FOR ABOUT A YEAR. BEAUTIFUL FINISH, EASY TO PLAY. BUT I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE THE SOUND AT THE HOUSE, SO WAS ABOUT TO USE IT FOR A TRADE IN. THEN TOOK IT TO REHERSAL WITH A NEW GROUP AND PLAYED IT THRU A CLASS A TUBE AMP......MAN AM I GLAD I DIDN'T TRADE IT OFF. THIS THING PLAYS REALLY WELL, SOUNDS GREAT CLEAN, AND WHEN YOU SATURATE THE AMP , IT ABSOLUTELY RIPS. GREAT GUITAR AT ANY PRICE.

Ease of Use:
UNLESS YOU ARE A COMPLETE MORON, THIS GUITAR WILL SOUND GREAT WITH A LIVE GROUP AND A DECENT AMP.

Support:
SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I OWNED MY FIRST ES336. I LOVED IT BUT AFTER PLAYING MY FIRST GIG WITH IT, WHILE WIPING IT DOWN, I FOUND A HAIR LINE CRACK IN THE TOP. SENT IT BACK TO GIBSON AND THEY CRUSHED IT. THEY TOLD MY DEALER TO GIVE ME ANYTHING I WANTED OF EQUAL VALUE OR I COULD WAIT FOR A NEW 336. I DECIDED TO TAKE A 335 INSTEAD. WISH I'D WAITED FOR THE 336. BUT I'VE ALWAYS FOUND GIBSON TO BE FAIRLY HELPFUL.

Overall:
THIS ONE IS A KEEPER. I OWN 26 OTHERS BUT THIS ONE IS PRETTY MUCH MY FAVORITE.

Feature:
It's a guitar, not a computer.

Quality:
The finish they use (lacquer) sinks into the finish and reveals the flame maple top (which has ridges) that they use. I called up the shop and they said that is natural for that finish as opposed to nitrocellulose, which makes a sort of plastic=y "mask around the guitar. They said they use lacquer because it doesn't "Choke" the guitar and allows it to age. Makes sense to me and no one can see it onstage, but it still kind of bugged me. I've seen it happen on my other gibson guitars as well.

Value:
It's expensive. Best made and playin gibson I've played, but part of that is the design, I'm sure, because other Gibsons I've had have not been the best quality.

Desirability:
I get compliments on it all the time. I think it looks very "grand piano"-esque (I have the black finish).

Sound:
Best sounding guitar I've played and it's probably my 15th guitar I've owned. I got mine setup from e.m. shorts guitars in kansas. Great shop. I hate to do it, but I have to take it on the road with me because no other guitar sounds or plays as good as it.

Ease of Use:
Plug it in and play.

Support:
n/a

Overall:
Amazing guitar. Best balance of good clean and distorted sounds I've heard in a guitar.

Feature:
Mine came with a polish cloth, 4 picks, and a cord with intructions. I wish it would have inclluded a truss rod tool.

Quality:
Mine was gift so I do not think that the dealer did much of a set up on it, the intonation sucks, but again I am sure that it just needs adjusting. the nut is plastic and I plan on changing to either a bone or ebony nut, to me the tuners suck, they make a cracking noise when you turn, the look nice but dont really keep in tune

Value:
I think that it is priced right, after all it is a Gibson custom, electronics are great, great wood and finish and frets, justs tuners and plastic nut is not what I would expect from a custom shop

Desirability:
I have owned a ES 335, but this CS 336 is about the same size body of a Les Paul, Light weight and nice to hold, great to look at, I have the faded red with translucent finish

Sound:
The sound is good, but mine needs some pickup adjustments, the low E string is very loud when picked with the other strings, just needs pickup lowered no big deal.

Support:
n/a

Quality:
I was very disappinted in the vibrations from the 456 stings hitting the pick up from the 10 fret up . Not a good guiter for the price I paid.

Sound:
The sound was flat and not I was not impressed. I looked forward to my delivery and when it came i was vey disappointed.

Ease of Use:
The strings came set vey high to miss hitting the pickups. I would expect a better set up from a custom.

Overall:
The way the guitar looks is great but the sound and payability was bad.
