Wow- I am thrilled with this axe! Every aspect is superb, from looks to playability to sound. I parted with an original '66 335/12 in favor of this one; it was a difficult decision, but I'm glad I did. My biggest complaint with the original was the lack of jangle, which is an important component of an electric 12. This has been remedied beautifully by the addition of coil taps. I am a loyal Gibson guy- they're all I play. And this is as good as it gets.
