SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Amazing! Classic Rock & Blues sound incredible! Paired up with Marshalls and 1960 Vintage cabs, I can't ask for more! Feature: It's a 58' Gibson Les Paul with a Custom Shop case, worth every penny! Ease of Use: Paired up with the right equipment,(any equipment really), hands down, the best guitar I have ever owned in my 40 years of life! Quality: Perfect, right out of the box! The only guitar I own, out of the many, that I can honestly say, absolutely perfect, right out of the box! Value: Absolutely! Manufacturer Support: Have never had any problems with any of my Gibsons, but they have always been helpful when contacted for info. The Wow Factor: For me, the "sex appeal" is off the scale! If it had the same wonderful parts that my wife has, I'd boot my wife out (and I think she knows that). The beauty of the guitar is inspiring as well, always a good thing. Overall: It's with me until death, and even then it's going with me into the ground. It's definitely my number one. Wouldn't part with it for anything except my kids. With me, it's rare to connect with a guitar this quickly, instant love!

Sound: Love the tone, thinking about trying some different pickups, but the stock Burstbuckers sound great on their own. Able to get a huge variety of tones with this guitar. Feature: Tone and volume, two good pickups, simple but effective Ease of Use: Easy guitar to play. The thick neck really seems to allow me to get comfortable and play a long time. Quality: No quality/finish issues Value: It sounds awesome, but it's a bit pricy, which is why this isn't a "10" Manufacturer Support: Was nice to talk to real person when I called customer support. I had no issues with the guitar, just questions about the warranty and they were quite helpful The Wow Factor: Just look at it Overall: This guitar is a lifer for me. I'll never sell it.

Sound: It is the sound of Rock n' Roll Feature: Volume + Tone control...what more do you need?? Ease of Use: Love the big 50's neck...like a baseball bat at first...then it just fits... Quality: It's perfect... Looks like it was made in 1958, and then stored perfectly until today... Value: I paid $2,600 for mine...can't beat that... I'd certainly pay list price for it... Just remember... It's an investment Manufacturer Support: No need for it The Wow Factor: It's a 58 les paul?! Holy Grail springs to mind... Overall: It will last forever, sounds incredible, could play it for days at a time... Just perfection...Well done Gibson

Back to Product Information
Sound: Firstly, this guitar will be receiving a ten on everything. I have played many Gibsons on my amp (including my first LP which was hotwired up the great wall), and this one definitely takes the cake. But you better be plugging into a Marshall! The sound is unreal. Don't be a sissy, turn everything on your amp up to 11 and listen to what this geetar has to say. Feature: Features? It's a guitar! Ease of Use: This guitar plays itself. The fingerboard is just like butta. Since I play overdriven, fast & sloppy I had to adjust the action a little. Tell you what tho, thick neck and HEAVY! This is a man's guitar. Feels like you're playing something. If you want a light guitar... play a Fender, you crybabies! Quality: What else can I say? Gibson luthiers from the Custom Shop. It's perfect. Value: I'm not gonna lie, this guitar will run you about 3K. But you wont want to play any other geetar after this peach. The Wow Factor: This guitar is beautiful. When I bought it over a year ago, I would just go hang out in my guitar room and stare at it (kind of like when the new swimsuit calendar comes out). I couldn't love a human baby as much as i love this guitar. Overall: I would definitely try to buy this in a store rather than order it online... For obvious reasons. When you bring this guitar home, your old lady will grow to be jealous of all the time you are going to be spending with your "new girlfriend", ha!

Sound: Ugh. What a dizaster. It looks like was raized from the titanic. The nut was totally offcenter. The pickgaurd screw was striped and came out. The jack plate was cracked and the binding was terribly marred from scraping. Manufacturer Support: Gibson guy told me "it is what it is and if not like it send it back"

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
