Excellent service from zZounds, price/delivery was the best around. Purchased a worn cherry finish and it's blemish free. A pure rock and roll machine, sounds SO good through my Blackstar tube head or Katana solid state amp. Quality control was spot on except one thing, something that has been well documented and much discussed. Why Gibson does this is beyond me, but they ship these out with the driest fretboard's. Took 3 light applications of lemon oil (and 2 string changes) to get it to "normal". Small thing, for sure, but it irked me to no end, a feeling that quickly turns to YEEHAW once I start playing it. Top notch deal on a Gibson Les Paul and definitely a deal at this price.
