First off I'd just like
"First off I'd just like to say that this is a really great guitar. I'm absolutely in love with it. I didn't give it 5 stars however for a couple of reasons. The first guitar I received from Gibson had a tuner mounted incorrectly and the tremlo was slightly off. I returned it quite easily; thanks customer service! I ordered a second one and it is almost perfect. The 13th and 21st frets needed to be leveled, re-crowned and polished-this I did myself. Also there were a few frets between 17-22 that were a little rough and needed some polishing. On another note, I'm not a fan of the ABR1 bridge because it has a tendency to some saddle buzz to which mine was no different. I ended up replacing it with a $30 GOTOH GE103B-N and that's all that this particular guitar needed. It now is a real player. If anyone from Gibson/Epiphone should happen to read this I would tell you to just ditch the (vintage) ABR1 and go with a GOTOH. It just works and sounds better. Cheers"
