I will start with the bad:The guitar is advertised as non-weight Relief but only weighs 8lbs which leads me to think they used a slightly thinner top or slab of mahogany for the body.The fret ends were a little sharp but very minor.The strap is a cheap piece of nylon crap(I know I’m being picky here).Ok with that out of the way:I love this guitar .Never played the 490s but they sound warm and also have great bight.Played some old Heart and it nails that tone!Great for jazz too which is what I mostly play.I got a great discount on the 2018 Model too. the neck is not too thin and you can bend the hell out of those frets my friend.I also own a PRS Ce 24 and no longerplay it.This thing rocks and gets a great clean tone on both pickups as well.No bells and whistles just good old Les Paul tone and feel.These will for sure grouping price.They already have since I bought mine.Also,gig bag is really nice.Plush inside and protects really well.Gibson did it with this one.
