This is my first Gibson guitar and where I live Gibson isn’t stocked in stores, so I can’t compare to other models, but I can say that I’m in love with this guitar. I always wanted a gold top standard. The studios always looked great, but the colours didn’t do it for me, so when I saw this, I jumped. The natural reveal binding effect of the maple cap makes up for the no body binding. Well made, sounds and feels fantastic and I really don’t have a complaint. Also, tracking wasn’t so good on other apps, but Thomann website updated every step of the delivery process, so well done Thomann too!
I am one very happy camper <3
