This guitar is really a hidden gem in the gibson world. I have everything from LP customs to a sweet 63' 335. This guitar is on par with my best. I head some QC issues with gibson on a 2014 plek'd lp neck that I've spent a fair amount of time working through and I'm happy to report that this guitar is does not suffer from the same troubles. I'm also glad that this guitar has an actual rosewood board. Richlite may be ok but I prefer wood. Also, the GeForce tuners work well. That said, they have to go. I'm sorry, after 20+ years of tuning guitars, I just like to tune my guitars the right way. I must admit though, I've done a ton of studio work with guitarists who couldn't tune a guitar as well as this system does. I didn't dock anything because it's a super simple (and inexpensive) swap to put standard Kluson or Grover tuners on it.

Musical Background:

I've been playing for 22 years, been a touring musician and currently do studio work.

Musical Style:

I play everything from hard rock to slow blues.

Simply an amazing playing and sounding guitar. Sound: Squarely in the middle ground between solid body and hollow body. Take the best things about a les paul sound and combine with the best things of a hollow body. Feels like a solid body. Sound has the strong tight lows of a solid body with the nice flavor the hollow body adds. This isnt simply a "chambered" guitar. I dont know if its the larger chambers or the fact that the F Holes add something extra. But its awesome. And the pelham blue is stunning. Buy it. Buy it now. This thing is cheaper than new studio les pauls. Thats insane. Take advantage.

After having bought numerous guitars, this baby was a pleasant surprise. I've read a lot of complaints about G-Force but as of yet it hasn't caused me any problem and has always worked perfectly, plus if you really wanted to you could remove it with no problem. Guitar stays in perfect tune, action is perfect and low. I honestly couldn't be happier. She'll only get better with time.

I love this guitar, I am a strat guy by nature, but when I need humbuckers this is my go to. I was never too happy with my Les Paul, so when I saw this I thought it might be the thing, It was! The Bluesy "Broken up" Clean tone I get is fantastic. For the money, it cannot be beaten.

Musical Background:

I've been involved in playing music since age 6, I've played in churches, small gigs and have been a tutor for some years now.

Musical Style:

Blues, Blues-Rock, Christian.
