Sure it’s all hype, over priced hype with poor QC. Er, NO! This is a brilliant guitar! The neck is smooth a rapid. Faster than a wizard neck cos it’s not as wide and Gibsons are infinitely more moddable! I gave 4 for features cos I swapped out the pups for bareknuckle hsp90 blue notes. Amazing now , fat n fast! I also top wrapped the strings. The wood
grain is fabulous and the tuners berry smooth and accurate.
I’ll get another next year or later this year if I can. Can’t recommend it enough.
After a couple of weeks and an attempt at a modified set up and having taken to the local luthier, a fret level is required. Gonna have to mark down to 4 cos Gibson shouldn’t be sending out expensive guitars with uneven frets, while epiphones are much better... second Gibson that needed a fret level.
