Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The guitar is very well made. Mahogany bodies are heavy so I recommend strap locks. Still not sure how to care for the worn finish though. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Too soon to tell. General Your general opinion of this product. Awesome guitar! I have never been disappointed with Gibson guitars. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The electronics are awesome, the slimmer neck feels great! Very solid guitar. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? You can get all of the classic Les Paul sounds from this guitar and the 57 pick-ups. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The wood looks amazing. I just need to know how to maintain the finish over time. Action How was the action out of the box? Set up was great right out of the case. The neck feels great thanks to the PLEK system.
