Something for you to look at while you’re eating your cornflakes then…
Feel very fortunate to have been able to pick one of these up at a “significant” discount. My first Gibson.
I actually haven’t even plugged it in yet but first impressions… really nice. Nice round neck carve, the fretboard is quite a bit wider and flatter than I’m used to on the Fenders so it felt a little bit like playing an acoustic at first. Weight is spot on. It came set up really well.
The wood grain and lacquer (“vintage cherry” they call it) are beautiful. Fingerboard edges are quite heavily rolled and a bit roughly done in places IMO, and the Grovers could be installed a bit straighter… maybe that’s just Gibson things… plays great though.
