Was sceptical at first when I ordered the sunburst model to add a little variety to my les Paul & SG collection. Was pleasantly surprised at the way it plays and balances. The pick ups sound good and are versatile. I was so impressed that at the end of the year when the price dropped drasticly I picked up a second in white. Only complaint is that stupid PCB that Gibson use now. Replaced pots and caps with individual after market PIO and 500k.
