[Submit a Review]

Price Paid: $1399.99 USD
Description: 2 Gibson pickups, one 500T and one 496R, 2 Volume and 2 Tone knobs, 3-Way pickup selector, chrome hardware, Mahogany/Carved Maple body, Slim Taper neck.
Tone:
Comments: The guitar just sings... its got a thick meaty sound perfect for pretty much any type of music. Right now Im using a Crate tube combo, which is really a pretty sad amp, but this guitar still sounds incredible, no matter what you play it on. Not to mention it plays like a dream.
Quality:
Comments: The quality is almost top notch, second only to PRS and Carvin (to my knowledge anyway) There are a few spots on the inlays where you can see some glue, but any flaw isnt appearant unless you are actually looking for it.
Overall:
Pros: Worth every penny... I havent picked up my fender since I got this guitar 3 weeks ago. The action is low, the guitar sounds great, its an all around great guitar for a player looking for a mid-range guitar. (High range being a Gibson custom, PRS, etc)
Cons: It's heavy as hell, but thats to be expected from a mahogany guitar.
