Price: about $650

Review - Please try to include as many specific details as you can: Cherry. Really nice grain showing through. Same humbuckers as a studio Les Paul. 60's profile neck, easy to play. I prefer this over a studio, except for the smartwood studio with the inky ebony fretboard. Dont waste your money on a studio unless you absolutely Love the sound and the workmanship is excellent. I've even tried a $2,000. Les Paul and mine sounded and played better. However this is not true for every guitar, every single one is unique. BUY STRAP LOCKSPEOPLE!!!

Rating (On a Scale of 1-10): 7

Additional Comments/Final Verdict: I GAVE IT A SEVEN CAUSE ITS ALL RIGHT. AND CAUSE THERE'S OTHER GUITARS OUT THERE THAT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY, LIKE THE LUCILLE!!!

Better than most guitars in its price range. but alot depends on your playing style. For me I love Gibsons and their unique sound. Dont waste your money on some hybrid guitar claiming to sound like a gibson ( Like Line 9-3=?). I playthrough a Marshall AVT 2000 Valvestate with a Vox Tonelab through the back. I have cheap and old strings on my guitar right now, and boy does it kick #$#!! I even like playing it straight throught the amp for those awesome warm blues!!!waahhhh!!! wa wa wa wa waaaaaaa!!!!

Also give your guitar a tune up! It only costs about $55 average, at least once a year. If your paying too cheap, than your problaby getting a cheap job done.
