Absolutely beautiful guitar. I have had it for three months now, and still can't believe the deal I got. $2,000.00, it must have been a mistake, I see it listed at $3,000.00 now but is sold out. I didn't need this guitar but the walnut finish, cream binding, favorite pickups, '70's style, the price, no SWMBO to tell me no, I jumped on it. I own several high end guitars, I know quality, the original price of $2k had to have been a mistake. I doubt it will be offered at that price again but even at $3k it is an awesome guitar. Top notch quality, very comfortable neck, unmistakable es335 tone, sustain for days, gorgeous high gloss finish. Love playing it, it's so comfortable. Ok, technical stuff: The Kluson tuners work perfect, nice and smooth, no slack at all, stays in tune. The neck feels wider than it is (I even got out my calipers to double check) not uncomfortably wide, it feels great, must be the string spacing, haven't measured that. Action and intonation was good out of the box though I lowered the strings a bit, my preference, no buzz or dead spots anywhere on the board. Neck pickup was way, way high, had to lower it way down and raise the bridge a touch to balance the pickups. Honestly, it shouldn't have left the factory with the pickups that out of balance. They sound beautiful though, love 57's. No flaws anywhere, and the finish is perfect. Awesome guitar.

This is the exact guitar I’ve been looking for. It just appeared on here recently and I had to buy it immediately. It is the best guitar I’ve ever owned.
Sound
The sound is amazing. The pickups sound great and are incredibly responsive.
Features
it plays and feel great.
Ease of Use
This is the quality that Gibson should always offer at $2K.
Quality
Very well put together and high quality on the guitar. The case had some poor craftsmanship, but zZounds did a great job of fixing that.
Value
Absolutely the best guitar for the price.
Manufacturer Support
Gibson was 100% unhelpful with this product. This specific guitar did not get opened by zZounds and had a blemish in the finish and scuff marks and other blemished on the case. Gibson did not care. zZounds took care of the issue and are always top notch when it comes to taking care of their customers.
The Wow Factor
The 335 tone and feel is unmistakable. The tone is incredible.
Musical Background:
20 years of playing guitar.
