An incredible guitar. Aesthetically sublime, the finish is spot on and the sound, whether clean or with distortion, is huge. I have 25 years of guitar experience behind me and this is the best guitar I've ever had in my hands. I've mostly played Fender, so I'm used to a thin neck profile and I was a bit worried about having a neck that was too thick, but in the end this neck profile is perfect for me and the comfort I felt from the very first notes was great. I hesitated for a long time with a PRS S2 Custom that I had the chance to try (also a very good guitar) but Gibson has always been a dream, so I don't regret at all choosing this Standard 50s. I recommend it. Bravo Gibson and thank you Woodbrass
