Best Gibson I have owned so far
Even though Gibson quality control is not what it used to be I still have to give this guitar 5 stars for its sturdiness. I also love how light it is compared to a Les Paul and how well balanced it is compared to an SG. The pickups are by far the best ones i’ve experienced on a factory gibson so far with super warm cleans on the neck and awesome crunchy and metal sounds as well. Would definitely recommend this guitar, it has become my main axe for now.

Gibson needs a better QC
I will begin with Gibson quality control, which is disappointing for an instrument at this price point. Other brands like ESP often show better standards; I mention this to suggest having the guitar inspected and set up by a shop before playing, since it may require fretwork or similar adjustments.
The case is beautiful and appears sturdy, while the pickups are acceptable but somewhat weak; the neck pickup sounded overly warm, so I replaced the electronics with active EMGs.
Personally, I had Thomann handle the inspection and setup, and they performed well—it was somewhat costly but worthwhile.
With a proper setup, the guitar plays well and the neck feels comfortable; lower fret access is solid, and it performs nicely both seated and standing.

Extactly what I dreamed it would be
Amazing guitar that I have wanted since seeing Gary Moore play one at Monsters of Rock in 2003. Plays amazingly well, pick ups are excellent and can go from completely clean quiet blues to full on thrash metal. The case is really good quality and the little Gibson mutlitool included is a nice touch. Came really well set up from the factory too. It does have two very minor cosmetic flaws in the finish, which is disappointing for a £2000 instrument, but doesn't impact on playability or sound at all so I wouldn't think of returning. Gibson should up their quality control! very happy with purchase overall
