Sound: You will never find a guitar that sounds so great and is so comfortable to play. Les Pauls are over rated, this is where it's at. Feature: The hardshell case that comes with these guitars are top notch Gibson cases. Ease of Use: This guitar is beastly, you can play it all night and never feel it. It's perfectly balanced, so you don't get the whole head tilt thing that you get with Jacksons. This is a work of art, there is a reason these came out in 1958 and they are still in use. Quality: It's Gibson. I think that is all that really needs to be said. Value: Picking this up from anywhere between $1000 - $1200 is an amazing value. Get 'em while you can at these prices, because once they go back up to $1400 - $1700, you'll kick yourself. Manufacturer Support: Once again, it's Gibson. Top of the line support. The Wow Factor: It's a Flying V, is there anything sexier? Overall: This guitar, if taken care of right, will provide a lifetime of enjoyment and will possibly out live you. That said, due to it being a Gibson, in the years to come as it gets older the value will only go up.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Love the sound this guitar produces! The 490R and 500T pick ups are amazing. I'm playing this axe through a Peavey 5150 II stack and a Marshall JCM2000 TSL100 stack. It sounds great through both amps! Could not believe how light this guitar is. When I first got it out of the case, i almost threw it across the room! Unbelivebly Light!! Gibson USA rocks!!! Feature: Great action, set at the factory! Dead on !! Just tuned "her" up, and started rock'in!! LOVE the neck! Very easy to play. Almost plays itself!! Ease of Use: All around great guitar! Gibson Quality!! For the money, this is a quality instrument! Controls are right at hand! Smooth action. Quality: Finish is beautiful! Very glossy finish! Everything as should be. Hang tags, owners manual,warranty cards,ect. High quality case also included! Value: Great guitar for a great price! This is a little pricey for a starter guitar but a great investment! Will last many years if taken care of. Manufacturer Support: I own more Gibson products. I love the support they give you. Had a problem with a pick-up on my 1984 Gibson Explorer. Sent it to the factory, got it re-wound! Sounds great now! Way more output! Love those factory guys. The BEST!!! The Wow Factor: Love the balanced feel of this guitar! Not to neck heavy. Very easy to play standing up or sitting down. Also looks badass!!! I always loved K.K. Downing playing his, in Judas Priest!! Overall: Will have this guitar a long time! Very good build quality. Love the way it plays, love the way it sounds, love the way it feels!! Great guitar!!
