| Subject: | Great Guitar!! |
| Quality:
| I think with care it will last a lifetime. It is made of fine wood so it will need to be cared for. I won't be throwing this in the corner when I am done with it for the day. |
| Sound:
| The tone is fuller than the Taylors that I was looking at. There is a lot more lower end than most of the others I tried. To me the tone is perfect. |
| Reliability:
| I have only had if for a few months but no issues. |
| Overall:
| I played everything I could get my hands on before I gought this guitar. It is like a piece of art and it makes me want to play more. |
| Playability and Feel:
| I am not sure one acoustic guitar is easy or hard to play. |
| Tone:
| I would say dark and smmooth, but the bright sounds definately come through. It is the best sound I found, but I haven't played anything over about $3500. |
| Finish:
| The finish is amazing, flawless what more can I say. The ebony fretboard is very nice. |
| Action:
| Action was good and very playable right out of the box. I have not had it in for a set up yet. |

| Subject: | Songwriter Deluxe is SWEEEEEET! |
| Quality:
| This guitar is top notch. I played at least 50 other guitars to compare and this one beat all of the them, including a $3,000 Martin. |
| Reliability:
| Solid. I haven't had it long but all of the reviews state super reliability. Feels super sturdy. I'm not afraid to handle it, I play fairly heavy. |
| Overall:
| Overall. I love this guitar. Looks, feel, sound. I use it in an acoustic duo, to record and just to write. It plays so nicely it inspires me. The electronics are also great. I plug it into my amp and it sounds perfect. Can't wait to play live with it. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Feels good. Has a more solid feel to me then other guitars I played. I like to strum hard and still have a solid, smooth feel. The guitar is just fun to play, easy to handle and sits nicely when you're in a studio tracking. Chords feel good to play; you're not struggling to hold down every fret. It just sort of happens. Great for lead stuff too! |
| Tone:
| The tone is the main reason I bought this guitar. Other guitars, say Taylor, sounded good but too bright. Some guitars had a good bottom end but the brightness was missing. This guitar pretty much covers it all. It just is so solid, but bright. It's amazing. I made my band mate and girlfriend sit in guitar stores and listen to this guitar compared to others and we determined that gibson makes magical guitars, especially this one! |
| Finish:
| Beautiful. |
| Action:
| Out of the box plays nicely. I may have it set up for a bit lower of action but I do this with every instrument. |
| Skill Level:
