"Too powerful for little amps"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
i think this guitar is very good. I have no complaints and completely satisfied this guitar is my sound, make sure that it is yours too before you buy it.
Sound
This is a very powerful guitar, little amps cant handle it, its very hot. The sustain is very lonnnnngggg, and its great for solos. The sound is very rich and deep. Sometimes i play acoustically just to hear the guitar by itself.
Features
it looks great, the neck is great, and the action is superb.
Quality
This thing is a tank it will never die. Im a clumsy fool, ive dropped it a lot and my strap collapses the instrument is still fine. I had a mexican strat for 2 years and i had to re-saulder some of the connections myself, i dont think ill ever have to do anything to this guitar
Value
They are expensive but ive never hear the gibson sound reproduced. Its a one of a kind sound.
The Wow Factor
