It's a guitar...it's a Gibson...nuff said.

Solid, perfection

This guitar is a great value but I think it is a little over priced. Especially since they are going to make more than the original 300 lot. Gibson show demonstrate some ethics here and kick back some form of rebate.

No need to contact them yet.

All of the above.

The sound from the Flood is big, clear, and commands your attention. Even in the hands of a novice (me), it's apparent immediately that this is a Les Paul. I like the sound even through my Vox Classic Rock pocket amp. The sound through my Marshall 102CFX is of course better and bigger, and confirms that I bought the right stuff. My skill just needs to catch up to the equipment. I adjusted the action as low as I could go, without getting buzz when hitting the first fret or two. Other than that, I've left it as Gibson delivered it.

I'll give it a "9:" only because I guess you get something for your money if you buy one of the Custom Les Pauls, for a few thousand more. As far as my feeling about this guitar itself, I think the components, materials and finish are perfect. I bought the blue Flood, because I didn't like the green very well. The hardware, controls, tuners look great. I prefer the chrome to the greenish plastic tuning knobs.

The instrument is very playable -- again, I adjusted the action but that's it.

The quality and workmanship are perfect. The guitar will last I'm sure.

The sounds of this guitar is probably nearly identical to the Les Paul Studio models. I bought this one for its cosmetic and collectible properties, knowing of course that the sound, materials and craftsmanship would be impeccable. So, I could have saved money and been very pleased, but I paid extra for some intangible qualities of the Flood.

I bought the last blue Flood that zzounds.com had, at the time. The "I gotta have it now" factor is huge. The Les Paul is the guitar I'd always wanted. The Flood just made me pull the trigger.

I'm a beginner, as I set down my Martin D18, 20 years ago.

Blues and classic rock

Random Sam Ash "Can I play that one?". Plugged it into a Fender tube amp and magic started.

Green is my favorite color so that was the first draw. Happy Strat owner but always "looking" for that one LP grab. This was it. I was doomed from the start.

I have big-ish hands so the '50 style neck was not a prob for me. Makes me play more precise because it has room for finger placement.

OK. One slight 200 grit swirl near the upper horn. Already buffed out and a thing of memory. Everything else was like a piece of art. Stunning.

I am so happy with this guitar. It's my 1st LP. I'm sure it won't be my last but I sure as hell don't plan on ever getting rid of this one. It's stunning and is so special to me.

Only reason for this rating is because I have no issues with my guitar and so I have not had any need to contact Gbson for any problems.

LP. Made in USA. Green. Gem-like. Work of art. Magic in my hands. Visually stunning. Can't wait to gig with this beastie.

Classic rock, reggae, Floyd,

Great tone you would expect from a chambered Les Paul. I do like the tone of a non chambered LP better, even with the weight.

Was not crazy about the 50's thicker neck. Pickups are hot in the brigde, and very blusey in the neck position. The chrome grover tuning keys are a step up from the usual on a standard.

I found the fat neck hard to get use to up and above the 12th fret.

Mine had a poor buffing jpb, and there were uneven area inbetween the neck and fretboard. The clear coat did not fill in the uneveness. I was diss satisfied enough to return it. The paint job was very dark, and did not look as viberant as the advertized pictures from Gibson.

It is basicly a studio Les paul with a fancy paint job. I realy wanted a good Les Paul, so I ended up getting a Standard traditional pro for $500 more.

Zzounds beat the price Guitar center was offering, and made the purchase easy. It wasnt hard to return after I made the decision to send it back.

I fell for the pain job. Probably would get and keep one for the regular studio price.

30 years guitar. jam at home for an outlet

original metal, 80's metal.

Awesome sound, I wish i could get some more tone out of the potentiometers. but i think that deals with the pickups. I play a lot of rock and jazz and it seems to play and sound very good in these genres. as far as tone I'm planning on replacing pick-ups in future with hotter ones.

The finish is absolutely beautiful, I don't see this falling apart for centuries. All buttons, knobs, pieces and parts feel extremely solid, like a rock! The body is chambered so the neck feels a bit top heavy. that said the guitars weight is off balance slightly. Not a problem for me. For a side note, the case that come with this is just as nice as the guitar, made very well with a lot of attention to details.

The product is good and very well made. But yes, i feel in its is over priced in comparison to other brand name guitars with similar builds and materials.

Gibson was very easy to reach. They answered all my questions and more!

Jam at home and at church.

Rock, Jazz, Christian, Blues.

The Quality is awesome but the way it looked blew me away right out of the case. I was just speechless over the looks of this guitar. The tone is definitely awesome. The notes just resonate great action. I give it a 10 all the way what more can you expect from Gibson
