It is definitely hard to go wrong here. This is the quintessential rhythm guitar, and it is entirely capable when it comes to fingerstyle as well, although that is not its design.

If you want a Martin dreadnaught sound, well, buy a Guild D-55 (hehe), but if you want a huge, deep, beautiful, bright, bring tears to your eyes, soil to your pants, and pain to your wallet sound, here is the way to go.

The only problem is that it costs about $3000, but (overpriced) quality is never cheap. You need to play a while and get pretty good before you deserve one of these. I'm still waiting.

A word of caution to someone who does buy one, give it time to open up! When these guitars first come out of the factory, they sound tight, kind of quiet, not so great. This is a GOOD THING. Trust me, they will very quickly improve. A few hours of playing will do wonders. A few years of existence AND playing will make them sound like they were built by God. This is SO my dream guitar (in vintage sunburst finish, though, please).

Feature:
It has all the features you will need for a fantastic sounding and playing guitar, nice neck joint beautiful woods, but I had to put 8 due to the fact there are no electronics as standard.

Quality:
Oh WOW, it is the best quality nicest looking guitar on the planet(mine is a limited edition wine red one) OMG its amazing.

Value:
It is pricey but you definately get exactly what you paid for.

Desirability:
The sexiest guitar on the planet - Bar NONE! Especially in red! WOW

Sound:
The only reason I'm putting 9 and not 10 is because this guitar needs to open up a little, and the strings need playing to wear them in a bit as the guitar is new, but it is the most amazing sounding guitar!

Support:
I havent had to do much as far as Gibson are concerned, but the waranty and quality of what i have seen from Gibson is great.

Overall:
In about a year I think the guitar will have opened and it'l sound perfect.
