Re: Sweetwater GAS Relief... NGD

This year Gibson's Reissues from the 50's all have the same .900" at the first fret. Of course, they charge an arm and a leg for them.....

The new Traditional is also .900" at the nut. To my eyes and ears, I just bought a new Gibson that's just as good as an R8/R9 at 1/3 of the price.

First time I've ever had 57 classics in a guitar and I love them. I like SD Pearly Gates and Seth Lovers for the Alnico II's. Well, the 57's also have Alnico II's which to me, is perfect for old school Gibson tone.
