Feature:
All you ever need. Pick-up switching, and a volume and tone control for each pick-up.

Quality:
Impeccable build quality and materials, and it shows.

Value:
Not as good a value as the 57 RI, but it has that figured wood top that drives you crazy.

Desirability:
The Sex appeal doesn't get any higher.

Sound:
The sweetest tone imaginable. Good for all genres of music.

Ease of Use:
The neck is a little larger than most guitars (other than the other Gibson RI's), that's where the tone and sustain come from.

Support:
Never had to use it.

Overall:
I will probably own my 59 RI's until I can no longer pick them up, and then they will be inherited by my guitar playing sons.
