I have some 10-15 Gibsons from LP Studio to the Standard and this Custom Black Beauty including Silver Sparkle Custom Florentine or CS-339 and 335 ... This custom is a collectors item and great for recording, yet live I mainly use my Studio or 339 as they are lighter. This custom has a commanding tone and presence so if you can afford one, buy her as this is THE reference.
