Well, as an owner of both, I can't justify the money for the Gibby. That's just me though. Keep in mind that I own a Matsumoko Vantage Vs600 that will tear the doors off of just about any LP out there and I paid a hundred bucks for it. Just saying.....you do NOT always get what you pay for. IMO, Gibson is currently a joke and should be relegated to the people with money to play them and not a highly sought after guitar for the working players of the world. I also do all of my own work so I can replace electronics for about $10 or so and decent used pickup in the $100 range, guitar $300, case $75 used, and yeah - I'd like to see someone do that with a Gibson. Nice Klusons btw - couldn't stay in tune if they tried. And this coming from an owner.
