Hi folks,
Just wondering if anyone has one of these guitars and what is there experience and opinion of them? I recently got a custom made tele with very high end gear gone into it but would really love a LP. More details here:

Gibsons can be of spectacular quality, so-so, and not so good, depending on the one you get. The best advice I could give is to go play one. If it sets your hair on fire, go for it! Be careful of buying used or online. Lots of fake Gibbies out there.

Recently made low to middle priced Gibsons vary in quality. You need to play several to narrow down which feels and sounds best. Some will be very resonate, and others a bit dead. I'd never buy one online, for instance.

Personally, I'd go with a high end Epiphone LP or an Agile. http://www.rondomusic.com/electricguitar-ss12.html
