OVERALL OPINION

. A few days ago.
. The sound, the look, the perfect finish (Please Gibson Memphis TN), the Varitone.
Ng no points!
. I have tried many other hollowbodies before buying.
. CHRE enough in Europe, much less to USD.
. I would do the same choice and I will find a + good friend, an ES-335 Block Inleys RI 60's ... I know will be a luxury;))
