    Warning, once you own this guitar your other acoustics will stay in the case. This guitar is amazing. I have a couple other Gibson acoustics, both are excellent, but this one just blows them away. The tone is of course superb, loud and focused, much more so than you would expect. The aged look really does feel like your playing an 80 year old guitar, and I almost feel bad when I play hard, but it can take it. The action, neck feel, and playability are as you would expect on any new modern Gibson. One thing I was a little worried about is the nut width being 1.77" where most guitars these days are 1.725, you may think that small amount shouldn't matter, but if you've played a 2015 LP junior with a 1.795" nut then you may understand my concern. The 1.77" nut is not noticeable, and in fact while the next feels a little fat around the first couple frets it thins out up the board and the fat part actually feels good, I have smaller hands and if anything it fits my hand perfectly and is very comfortable. I'm glad I got this guitar, I would really have regretted if I let them sell out and it takes so long for stock to replenish these days. 100% worth the price, I won't be surprised to see the price increase soon, this is such a great guitar and as soon as everyone finds out they will be gone.
