Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Excellent, they say you will get a AA top and I did, was worried about that since it really "luck of the draw" Gibsons AA tops can vary from A to AAA for the very same guitar. Big drawback for me on ordering, but I got what I wanted, definitely AA top. Have yet to find a flaw on the craftmenship. Top post on the bridge is a little loose in the guitar. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Don't yet know, it's 3 weeks old for me and only 3 shows in, but like the manual says, with proper care it will probably out live me. General Your general opinion of this product. This is a fantastic instrument, nothing feels quite like it. There is a definite silkyness to this axe. Top notch looks, great wood. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Everything is awesome except for the fret dressing. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? All the tones are there. Was quite excited about the rhythm selector up with a little highs off the tone knob, Jazz city! This guitar can truly do it all, I primarily use this guitar for loud rock, it screams with the Dimebucker in the bridge. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Absolutely Gorgeous, stunning guitar. Action How was the action out of the box? UGHHH! $2700 for a guitar that buzzes on the G B and high E from 1st fret to 6th. Plek system my a$$. This guitar should be able to drop 1/32 to 1/16 lower on action out of the box but I can't get it that low because of the buzz. Needs a luthier's touch. Will be in shop soon, very disappointed in that. What am I supposed to do? Send it back? No, she's mine now. I played 3 others of the same guitar, none had the buzzing.
best of all les pauls
