Easy to use, lot of options, some too digital sounding

The spring and plate reverb are quite 'fake' sounding, compared to f.i. a Fender spring reverb. The toneprint option however is great, epecially if you don't want to tinker with the knobs yourself.

'Only a Gibson is good enough'

This one is a 'player grade' '42 banner. Very warm sounding and surprisingly loud. Big fat neck. Great balance, even on (very) low volume. Feels like a piece of history (probably because it is).

Great cabinet

Great build quality. I have it loaded with two Celestion G12-65 ROLA's.

Great but heavy

Cabinet from the 70s, this thing is built like a brick house and weighs about the same. Has 4x30 watt greenbacks.

Good vintage style compression but quite noisy.

Great guitar for everyone who is affraid of scratches

The finish might not be to everyone´s taste, but this is one great guitar. The Super 58 pickups are very articulate and the neck is one of the finest I have played on a semi hollow. Fretwork is amazing, guitar had a great setup right out of the box. Talking about that box, the suitcase is comes with is also a quality one!

Ideal for touring/ playing live, as an extra scratch doesn't matter.

Great but expensive

Probably the smoothest alnico speaker around. Can come across a bit too polite because of this. Does have some very sweet tones though. It's 100watt so you can use it with almost every head in a 112 cabinet!

Plays great, sounds great

Briljant value for money and value in general. Replaced original p90s for a pair of Lollars (little bit more quiet). Body looks like a chopping block, mine is a 4 piece! Love it to bits though.

Good guitar, shit electronics.

This must be one of the most beautiful guitars ever built. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like it. The stock pickups are muddy, electronics are cheap. When you swap out the electronics you have yourself a 98% Gibson.

Good neck, body and hardware; chuck the electronics

First thing that you'll notice: this is one heavy piece of machinery. The hardware is good enough, body has a small blemish in the laquer near the neck joint. Nice chuncky neck, but not to big. Tuners stay in tune like they should. Electronics are rubbish though. As soon as you take of the covers on the back you see extra drilling holes and shitty finishing, but thats on the inside. I swapped out the pickups and all the electronics (including the switches) and now it's a beast.
