I've owned many Les Pauls, an ES 347, and two Howard Roberts Fusions, and this ES 235 is all that combined and more! Great finish, mine is cherry satin, and there is nice figuring in the wood grain throughout. It has an antique vibe to it! Playability is very comfortable to me. Being 56 years old, I've got some arthritis in my first finger on my left hand, and some necks made it worse, but I can play this guitar with ease! I can play an F chord at the first fret again, and I can play better than a few years ago! I love this guitar! Pickups are a perfect fit too! Great tone! A great deal about the same price as a Les Paul Studio! A win for Gibson and me!
