"This is the ultimate guitar, in my opinion."
I will probably own my 59 RI's until I can no longer pick them up, and then they will be inherited by my guitar playing sons.
Sound
The sweetest tone imaginable. Good for all genres of music.
Features
All you ever need. Pick-up switching, and a volume and tone control for each pick-up.
Ease of Use
The neck is a little larger than most guitars (other than the other Gibson RI's), that's where the tone and sustain come from.
Quality
Impeccable build quality and materials, and it shows.
Value
Not as good a value as the 57 RI, but it has that figured wood top that drives you crazy.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to use it.
The Wow Factor
The Sex appeal doesn't get any higher.
Musical Background:
week end rocker, been gigging since 1970
Musical Style:
