Myself.. Im all over the fucking place now.. I dont know what I want anymore.. so many options.. so many good and bad reviews for everything and the one with 5 star reviews across the whole board is the only one I cant put my hand on to try and see if I like it.
getting into gibsons, the pickup and neck differences between different model types is overly too complicated and also, there's a bad rep of poor craftmanship. It's 50/50. Either A+ or d- in this price range.
For the PRS, the construction is flawless and the pickups are all the same ones and has a shitty bridge pickup anyways, so no decision worry there.. cause it will need upgrading before any of them even go out the door anyways. So I can tailor to any pickup sound I want. Burst neck, 57 bridge.
Maybe what I will do is go to town Sat and see if they can order it in for me anyways and if I can bring it back towards a different model after holidays if I dont like it.

i returned an epiphone sorrento after trying it out and had no probs at all, i betcha they would let you do that.
aren't the reviews hilarious? there's usually a ton that start with "i've never owned that guitar but i'm pretty sure it's not as good as any of mine...."
or "it's mik/mim/mij/mii/not made in milwaukee,memphis/kalamazoo/etc. so it has to be bad.
then most all the others have a paragraph+ with the reviewer's resume of years playing and guitars owned/played at the shop.
it always cracks me up, but i guess the good news is the return policy with the majors is super solid and shipping back is nominal really, plus being able to give a new guitar a whirl at home is so much more better than fighting to be able to hear yourself at the guitar center. lol.
re: gibsons, tbh, the only ones i really really want are ones that are stunningly beautiful- a figured-top es-335 and a aaaaa quilted top lemon les paul. both crazy expensive.
excluding vintage. of course.
