I tried to take better pictures but kinda difficult. Anyway great guitar I love it. Would a opted for the flame paint but was an extra grand.

i actually paid a little over 2k for it then a week later sweet water had them for 1499 so I went into guitar center they refunded me 500. So  for 1500 I feel like I won.

it took me some time to get used to the push pull pots but since I have I love them. Same with the dip switches I know it’s very untraditional but I’m not hating.

inhad to take it back though as I got it home plugged it in and it wouldn’t play. The jack soldering was bad, played for me in guitar center and for about five minutes at home then nothing. Easy fix. 
 

you’ll notice I have no selector switch knob thing but it was the best playing if these.

also I was missing the photo that comes with it but got a sweet multi tool which is kinda cute but worthless for using. I mean it will work but I’m 46 shaky and the eyes aren’t what they used to be and I’m a guy with slot of tools so will use them. Still though was a cool piece of kit to throw in.

I got the Chinese case it’s pretty nice to be honest surprised me, then I realized the lock was broke and chuckled. 
 

they told me in guitar center my case was lost so I’m not putting that on Gibson,  who knows how long it hung in the wall.

ot sounds amazing. The under wound neck coil is silky smooth it’s my clean coil. If I feel like getting my metal on the bridge coil is perfect.

having the option to split or tap and pick the inside and outside coil is pretty awesome.

all in all I highly recommend. It is my first Gibson I owned but I’ve played a bunch and would put this up against any I have ever played, just not as flashy visually but then again neither am I 

as far as thick skin I’m prior military I think I’ll be ok. 
 

Thanks for the welcome brothers!
