This is really a OMG guitar! :D

This is it. I'm in love. This guitar with the modern neck shape and length and with all the extra features makes this a fantastic guitar. It had only one flaw in my eyes. It had nog vibrato. I'm used to use on the vibrato on my Fender american deluxe stratocaster and I was missing it on this Gibson. Thats why I bought e Bigsby B7 vibrato and it makes this guitar look like the bomb! Really Gibson. This has to become a standard on the Standard. ;)

The only problem is the G-Force tuner. It's never really on tune. It's always a little to sharp. Even after a swap it still over-tunes.
