I was originally searching for an SG or LP Studio 60's (looking for a thinner neck) but the Gibson quality issues drove me to look elsewhere. The build quality is light years ahead of Gibson (I have a Les Paul as well), you really have to pick one up to believe it. The sound is excellent, both clean and dirty. Feel of the guitar is again well beyond the SGs, Les Pauls and Strats that I have played. I simply don't want to put the Framus down, ever... It's simply screaming "PLAY ME!" Is it expensive? Yes. But so is a decent mid-level Les Paul or SG. But with the Framus I'm not under the impression I'm buying a lot of empty marketing hype. If you're into a superior quality guitar that not everyone has, and is actually worth the investment of your hard earned cash, take a look at a Framus.
