I have been hearing mixed reviews, and am wondering if anyone on here has checked out this axe at all. I know it has an extra long neck, border of being a baritone guitar. Does it work with a standard tuning? Just wonder on opinion from you all. Thanks in advance
Ask boxenstein, his mom bought him one. ;)

why so butthurt? :)
So what are your thoughts on it box?! Do you keep it in standard E-tuning? and how is the fret size? Do you need monster hands to hit 5 fret separations?
i personally think i should get that guitar since im pretty tall (6\'1\'\') for a chinese bot that is. the current one i have is an SG and it feels alright to me but i need a thicker body so my arm wont be uncomfortable.

You mean, why does your butt hurt? Well, it doesn\'t. Thank you for your concern, how kind of you. You must know all about being "butthurt" if you think it would cause discomfort and make people type a certain way. I was only pointing out that you had a BH signature guitar... Have a great day and take care of that butt.

Is this "act like children" day at TDRS?
yeah its a great guitar I was planning on doing a detailed review video but never got around to it, I think i\'ll do one soon maybe on the weekend.

I\'ve been contemplatling it as well since I\'m about 6\'3" but the guitar I have is pretty much like his just not a gibson, doesn\'t have those pickups and isn\'t oversized.
I have this one on lay-a-way - hopefully getting it home this weekend. They are not too easily found these days, this one was a trade in, dead mint condition.

i believe gibson stopped making them
I played one and really liked it. The neck was way thicker than most guitars and the extended scale length is definitely noticable, but didn\'t bother me at all after a couple minutes of adjusting. The over all body is bigger, too. It actually made me try a little harder, which may bother some people....
The pickups were very responsive and cleaned up really well with lower volume level. I wish I would have had the $ at the time...
Not too easily found?
I\'m not sure about that... i mean to find a shop that actually has one in stock to check out is a lot different than just ordering one.
So yes to find one in a shop might be difficult, but to get one... doesn\'t appear to be an issue at all if ya got the money.
Stopped making them? can\'t find any information that supports that.
D, thats only cuz Gibson doesn\'t tell their customers anything about availability lol!

I totally have to write the second part of this test and do some recordings but don\'t have the time and muse right now.
All in all I think it\'s a very nice guitar for the money you have to pay. And that\'s without the whole fanboy/addict disorders we all seem to have. A nice Les Paul that I like much better than the \'91 black Standard I once had.
I played the Masters Sigy at the Gibson Showroom in Memphis.
so yes, pix on my facebook.
I honestly don\'t like it at all. It\'s huge, and doesn\'t sound that focused...pretty muddy.
^^^^^for the size I would think it would matter for how tall you are, if you\'re a shorter person then yes it\'s gonna be huge but if you\'re like 6\'3" like me it actually feels pretty normal, played one last week over at my bot\'s house I wanted to kill him for having one >:( btw for the frets I can reach to about 7 - 7.5 on a good day and I don\'t think I have too big of hands (about 9 inches got curious one day) my fingers are pretty long too so that helps a little.
i think the way it was engineered was very interesting to read about. it is the first semi-semi hallow i have heard of.. haha. it explains how he can get such good clean and heavy distortion sounds on the same guitar. i\'d love to try it myself
actually a lot of the newer les paul\'s can be chambered like this, not to be confused with semi- hollow, which this guitar is not. you can also get epiphone les pauls chambered, they have a few different models that it comes standard with. It reduces a lot of the weight, which is a large amount of complaints for most. semi hollows are more like a 335, often with clefs to allow for sound to escape.
