I was more than satisfied with the quality of this guitar. I had read other reviews talking about how the non Gibson guitars that looked like certain Gibson models didn't perform well or the quality wasn't as good. What impressed me the most is that Gibson did a quality checklist that covered every aspect of this guitar. Each specific item about the guitar was personally checked by a live person and checked off and signed personally by the quality control specialists. The fact that zzounds offered a 12 month payment plan on this guitar was the final deal maker. No other place I know offers this type of payment plan that allows you to pay for your guitar over a specific number of months. This is why I will continue to buy my guitars from zzounds now and in the future.

Processing my order was fairly smooth. Regular Shipping by FEDEX was prompt enough. The package seemed VERY Light when the Fedex Guy handed the box to me. Actually, 2 boxes. I thought at first, that they had only shipped the Gig Bag !! I didn't realize just how much weight was lost when they "Chambered" these babies. The Finish was Beautiful. The only real disappointment was the poor quality of the Fret Dressing. I own a 1961 SG/Les Paul Jr. , as well as a 2006 Epiphone Les Paul, and both of those guitars had meticulous fret dressing done. I spent about 3 hours dressing them myself, before handing it over to a Pro to finish the job. I've been using this axe as my main Guitar , and for an old duck at 60 with a bad back, this guitar is a godsend. I usually use .011 Gauge Strings for Slidework, but so far, the stock .009s are holding up, and I play with a Heavy Hand.

In all honesty,the only reason I've grown an interest in guitar started with guitar hero.Then it became Rocksmith.I eventually found out some companies actually make left handed guitars,I was totally amped.After some research,I heard the name Gibson referenced more than any other company.I saw the choices and went with this guitar and now,while I'm nowhere near performing somewhere,I really like the feel (though for some reason,I thought it would be bigger),and I like the gold finish.I believe when this guitar is played,it can blend in with any genre of music.I didn't think I would spend close to a thousand bucks,but you get what you pay for.Now my daughter is learning how to play in her music class.She's in love with with it also.My only beef is that the selection for left handers is limited.I'd recommend a Gibson guitar to anyone and Zzounds for providing the sale and service.
