As i found out of the previous comments, the saddle wasn't still finished to the standards, and it was causing some tuning issues with open chords. Anyway, that was solved with my trusted luthier, no big deal. All together, this is a very good guitar, by all means. High quality finish everywhere ( except the saddle), electronics are ok, including pickups. Well, I'm not working in studios, good enough for me. Great to have these available, in a reasonable price. Mine is a STR-colour choice. Had one Gibson-branded 335 in the late seventies, it was a really good one. This is no worse!
