I usually only play video game music, but since gametabs.net has been down for like a year and doesn't seem to want to come back up - I'll need to start learning more actual music other than Muse and Michael Jackson.

I added these to my wish list:

I'm usually not a fan of the "Studio" models but have not tried this one.

Gibson really disappointed me in their mid-tier models.  They feel kind of cheap IMO.

Which sucks when you dish out over $1,000 bucks for one.

It's kind of strange when a top model Epiphone Paul seems better made than the Gibson mid-tier ones.

My theory is that if someone is expected to shell out $600-$700 bucks for an Epi that it better be good versus a $1,000 and slightly above Gibsons you're at least getting the "Gibson Les Paul" name on the headstock.

The Gibsons that are upward of $2,000 and above, the quality jumps up.

This response isn't solely for you Reuben.  I'm sharing some thoughts/opinions.

Just curious to what others might think to this...
