I would have gone with the Godin but I understand wanting a thinner body. Hopefully Gibson/Epiphone is better these days. You probably should have taken a look at PRS.
Dude, I played the guitar for about 45 minutes at the store. I really like it.
And it is so light!!!
I play gigs for 3+ hours sometimes. For 3/4 of the time I am using my old Epiphone Sheraton. Which I love. But it is HEAVY!
Anyways, time will tell, but right now I am looking forward to playing it in my jam session tomorrow!!!
