Great guitar, still getting to grips with it....

Finally gave in and bought a Gibson, after lots of umming and ahhing went for one with P90's rather than 'buckers.

Only had a few weeks and still really getting used to it. The P90's sound great but they can be a tad noisy, found that I've had to lower gain and distortion on any dirt pedals I use with in to stop some annoying screeches. But once the "sweet-spots" are found this baby can sound great, particularly liking the sounds I'm getting from my Proco Rat.

I've already become attached to the lighter weight compared to my Gretch, loving the thinner neck as well,
Have found the tuning doesn't hold that well, this seems to be a known issue with Gibsons usually fixed by a good set-up.

Once I get it in for a set-up I'll get back on here and update....
