Wow. Maybe the only thing better than playing a Chibson is systematically destroying one! I had a friend buy virtually the same guitar for about $350.00. It sounded every bit as good as lets say, an Epiphone. And dangerously close to my old '08 Standard with the PC board. (that I sold some time ago)

I'm surprised how easy it was to cut through the neck because the truss rod was apparently made from crap metal.

The video would have been much shorter if they only pointed out what was right about the Chibson. LOL
I'm not sure if the video translated enough info for the novice, a more in depth side to side comparison with very clear descriptions of what to look for would probably be more helpful.
