This guitar is amazing, as it being my first Gibson I cannot imagine there being something better. It was setup perfectly upon me receiving it, although their stock strings aren't so great. Changed them and put some Elixir Nanoweb Strings 10s and I was good to go. The neck feels amazing, hardly have to tune it, the pickups are so fat and juicy, again not too hot and not too light, great price, beautiful case. Oh and also remember, you get what you pay for! In this case you get way more. The price is justified! Get this guitar. :)

It's a brute! Plays and sounds like it was made in heaven by Jesus himself! It's also sooooo beautiful, my wife gets mad if I look at it too long. When I first pulled it out the box and she smelled that aroma she tried to tell me I'd been cheating on her, yes that's how good it smells! The C57 and C57+ sounds so good, rich and creamy with this extremely heavy nine hole relief that they make a cheap transistor amp sound like it has valves in it. The Bigsby Vibramate is a plus as it adds to the weight (which I love) and more importantly it adds to the tonality and sustain. I Love this guitar and I allow no one to touch it, and this axe would sell just as good with a hefty hike in price and no one would have any compunction grabbing it before they sold out of stock. Gibson kicked the ball out the park, out the city, out of the the world and then bounced it of the moon this time. This baby is pretty enough and sweet enough to marry!

I received this guitar during the holidays...didn't spend much time with it until recently...over one year later. First...Intonation, Neck Relief, were expected to be off from spec from the shipping and whatever else happened to this instrument since it left the factory. It needed to be completely set up. High frets, low frets...buzzing, an annoying rattle coming from somewhere. Will not stay in tune for any reason. I received mine with a repaired nut. Yep ! Glued back together, unevenly I might add, which throws the high E string right off the fretboard when played. Next, the finish is already showing signs of checkering. For a guitar that is now less than three years old...WOW ! QC at Gibson is for this particular instrument is disappointing. This is my first Gibson Product and it will assuredly be my last. Anyone interested in buying a Les Paul? Completely unimpressed. This instrument IS beautiful...and VERY heavy. In this case, form does not follow function here. I have contacted Gibson three times in the last year and have yet to receive ANY response. Unimpressed and so disappointed. I completely regret the decision to buy this instrument. The WOW factor??? Yeah, wow.
