AJ Ray Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Just got my hands on one after rereading many negative reviews. I have been criticised al of Gibson in the past having only owned Gibson acoustics. This is my first electric and it is way better than I hoped. First impressions anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmachine Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I think you'll find the negative reviews of the 2015s to be from mass hysteria about insignificant details from afar, not from those that actually put one in their hands. And notice you will find more recent reviews are positive. You don't see ones saying "I just got a 2015 and it sure is crap". I have one of those SG Specials I bought new for dirt cheap because of that hysteria. I have a 2013 SG so I was more just curious about the 2015, thinking I check it out and resell it before long. I still have it. Lots up deluxe feature for being a Special. Great quality, fit and finish. The '61 zebra pups are really good and do bring something different to the table than the the 490s in my 2013. The wide neck is strictly a matter of preference, and is fine with me. So it plays great. The robo tuner still work fine, but I won't hesitate to replace it with standard tuner is that becomes a problem. Not an issue for me. To me, it is as good as most SG Standards.

merciful-evans Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Glad to hear it. I love my 2015 model & feel so glad I got one at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHenry Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I tried a 2015 Les Paul Traditional Sprint and it was a superb guitar, some of the details like the Les Paul hologram are a personal taste thing but didn't have any impact on the quality of the guitar. I very nearly bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Last week I came across a 2015 LP Less Plus in marketplace. The seller was asking the full original (new) RRP. Optimistic but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
