It needed a setup, but to be honest with you, it was the only electric in the shop (I played) that didn't feel like ****. In fact, it was a blast to play. I never even bothered amping it because it was so resonant.
It was a maple top Artist with a slight flame to it. Used. Just over $1200. Is that too much? The body and neck were in good shape, but the hardware was a little worn. I'm not in the market right now, just curious for the future.
Oh, and I played an Eastman archtop acoustic that just sounded yummy. I wish I had time to plug it into a decent amp. Maybe next week.
Every Gibbie I played was a big let down. I discovered that I don't like the 60's neck. The necks were sticky, as to be expected, but they all played really rough like a cheap guitar. The Fenders were worse. They all needed to have the necks steel wooled to hell and back. Some were just down right dead sounding. The only Fender I played that was decent was a Jimmie Vaughan Strat. A setup could have made that a good guitar.
On a postive note, there were no kids playing "Smoke on the Water" on 3k Martins this time.
