How has it stood up over time?
It's worth every penny. It's worth way more than what their asking.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
It's pretty much top of line. Everything from the floyd rose to the tuners are top notch.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Plays great. Real smooth and easy playing and it has badass lows and wonderful highs.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The seymour duncan that it comes with is wonderful. You won't be disapointed. You can play anything from Van Halen to Metallica. Pretty much anything sounds great with this guitar. You can even pull of some bluesy stuff.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
The finish is really well done. Just becareful because it will scratch since it doesn't have a pickguard. But aslong as you take care of it than it will be fine.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
I was suprised when I unpacked it. All I seriously had to do was tune it up a little bit, plug it in and play. No string buzz or mechanical issues. Its also very quiet when plugged in and not being played.

This Guitar is built solid. Finish is really beautiful...I have the red and black.

Great...Note: Players need to know how to adjust the neck on all guitars. The wood breathes and changes in humidity will cause the neck to bow or straighten. A slight tweak to the truss rod fixes this.

The stock pick up sounds really good....I changed the pick up because I wanted to put the EVH Brown sound into it.

The guiter seems well built. The set up on the guitar is extremely poor. The Frets buzz and the action is set very high. This tells you they new of the fret buzz.

This guitar appears and feels like it will take a beating.

Your general opinion of this product.
It is on OK guitar. The quality failures of the guitar arriving in the USA and not being checked for set up. Esp at leasts inspects their guitars coming from Korea but this shows that Gibson does not. They sell the name not the guitar.

After fixing the frets and adjusting the action for Kramer (Gibson)it plays very well and is a great guitar for the price.
Tone

Its got the '84 Sound. Fat chugs and ripping highs. Its a metal guitar for sure.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Paint is good/finish is good.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Sucked. Worse guitar I ever bought out of the box. The action was a mile away from the fret board and the Frets buzz because they were not dressed properly or inspected. If your good at setting up a guitar this is a good guitar to get because besides playing it you will have to set it up first.
