The reviewer summed up this guitar with a euphemism: "it doesn’t have the craftsmanship I have come to expect from this company."

Have to admit though, the pic that UG used does not look bad at all.

I have to admit I did laugh of the irony of a guitar marketed towards a more "retro" audience been given a modern sound - Nice work, Gibson, yer silly fools - in fairness, an $850 rated guitar (I can guarantee it'll wind up costing over 1000 UK) simply leaving a reviewer "moderately impressed" is a sign the company's bollocksed up, in my opinion.

Side note, the hot pickups sounded great with a clean amp and terrible with a crunchy amp - too mid rangey. Which is a modern sound, and not what I am going for.

however no offense for you're marks. i love realistic reviews like these as i prefer to read a review if it doesn't have a (near) perfect score

in my opinion you're blaming the guitar a lot for the pick-up. fact is that these were made for consumers who demanded a les paul with p90's at affordable price. i dont think that any of the people who wanted these bought them for 50's style music but definitly for more modern maybe 60-70-80's music.

however no offense for you're marks. i love realistic reviews like these as i prefer to read a review if it doesn't have a (near) perfect score

i definitely understand where you are coming from and completely respect your opinion and believe you make a great point as well. thanks for the read

So basically what you're telling us is to go and get a $400 Chinese guitar with questionable craftsmanship instead of recommending a guitar that's close to the price point and sound of the Gibson you just reviewed?

Actually I think he's recommending a guitar that more accurately matches the sound and playability that he expected from the guitar in his review.

Well SecondCivilWar already made this point but yes that is exactly what I am doing. And after seeing a good amount of both guitars (if you would have read the end of the review) I stated that the Epiphone exceeded in Quality Control and Craftsmanship.

Is that really your gripe about this review, me telling you that a guitar half the price within the same bloodline of companies does a better job to emulate the sound? Furthermore, for $849 I am having a really difficult time finding a chambered Les Paul that is supposed to emulate the sound of the 60's with P-90's. If you find one let me know.

Great guitar for the money. Mine has no quality issues and sounds great. Great tone. And the price will only continue to go up, seeing as they are limited production. Four stars ****!

But I simply love the sound op p90s, so i'm probably going to cover the pickups and buy another pickgaurd... looking forward to have this in my collection..

I am afraid of even scrapping it to see what the heck.

I build guitars and would be embarrassed to present this as a builder.. shame on Gibson..
I would buy an Epiphone.. better made.

I have the Gibson Studio 60's Tribute Honeyburst with a solid one piece back, rosewood fretboard, Gibson USA plush lined, black snake skin patterned hard shell case, with great sounding P90's played through a Peavey Classic 50 210 tweed amp. Cleanest sounding Gibson Studio & amp around my area. I have been playing rock, country, blues and jazz music since 1959 and do know what good equipment is and is not for the music I play. I still jam and gig with a few different groups and will until they pry my cold fingers of the neck of my USA made Gibson or Fender Stratocaster HSS. Just my two cents worth of comment. Not to offend everybody, but just those of you who know who I speak of.

Rereading the above reviews, most seem too enthusiastic. It's a good guitar, sure, but you can find better out there for the price. The guy who applauded Epiphone is right on, they are making very sweet guitars these days, including a 1961 tribute SG with P90s that equals or betters this LP on every ground. BTW, I've been playing 47 years and have owned great, good and garbage gear.
