Made in the USA.
Tune-o-matic bridge
3-way toggle switch
Les Paul-type neck.
UTILIZATION
Very pleasant neck, even though it's not that fast.
Access to the upper frets isn't easy.
Very good playability. The guitar is not heavy at all (it's a recent Les Paul Studio model... forget models made in the late 90's).
You'll easily get a good sound.
SOUNDS
It's great for my music style (blues rock).
But you can also get a bluesy and jazzy or even a very fat sound.
OVERALL OPINION
Yes, I would buy it again even though it's expensive. Gibson uses its name to sell expensive guitars, which could have a better finish and a better hardware (the tune-o-matic bridge is not very practical when you change the strings...).
