Seriously the sound from this guitar is unmatched. Gibson custom is the way the go. I have a number of high-end guitars and I don't play them anymore. (that sucks) but I can tell you that for tone and playability there is nothing else I want to play. The action and feel is just right for me (large hands). It is a cross between a high-end PRS and a Jackson USA. I highly recommend a Gibson custom its really the only guitar you need.
