The guitar is generally of very good build quality and comes with a good gig bag, which is always a nice touch, and excellent strings. It was still in the factory wrapping and packaging, so the fretboard definitely needed oiling. I also had to make a few adjustments to the bridge to set the action and intonation, but the neck was perfect so no truss rod adjustment was required. The instrument is very well intonated (which is not a common features, even for high-end guitars) and gives you a sense of high reliability. The guitar is very comfortable and well balanced. The neck has a satin finish on the back (very comfortable) and a round C profile. The frets are perfectly rounded, but perhaps a little low. The sound quality is well above the price level. It doesn't have the Gibson's distinct old style sound, but shows its own personality, esp for modern music. However, I think the neck pickup is really amazing! In conclusion, I am very happy for this purchase and I definitely recommend this guitar!
