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.
Reviews are subjective. In one article, people BLAST a model and in next article, they all praise it. It's really about how it sounds and feels to the end user that is most important. I'm quite particular myself, so many guitars people love, I hate.

man that yellow one is ugly... heh
