Saw one of these in the local music store yesterday - and had a minor attack of GAS, I didn't purchase, however it is on my mind ......

Just wondering if anyone had any experience of these guitars? This was going for £400. I've never owned a Gibson - and there was a second hand Gibson Studio which did sound great. That said, I've got the PRS CE24 which is similar in many ways - so I don't really need (??) it, do I?

I've always been a strat/fender kind of guy, so I no next to nothing about Gibby's

Got to fill in my tax return first though .....

Just get it Bruno, life's too short to deny that which gives us pleasure.

That's a beauty, did you pull the trigger? Come on...pull the trigger!

The are nice guitars - anything designed by Trev Wilkinson is pretty much guaranteed to be a good 'un. I played one a year or so back and was impressed. However... I am equally impressed with this (which I now own):

The retailer (Thomann) also do a great set up on these before shipping too, so it plays like a dream when it arrives. It also has the same Wilkinson hardware as you'll find on the Fret King. For around £120 you're getting a proper "grown up" guitar. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Go for it Mr. B.

Oh no - I'm trying not to spend money, I have too many guitars, I have too many guitars, I have too many guitars, I have too many guitars repeat ....

Hmm. It doesn't appear to be working .....
