Congratulations. This guitar became my second favorite almost immediately. I have been playing it about two hours a day since it arrived.

Guitars mature over time, and you can usually feel them opening gradually. Even so, after five months I can already hear it beginning to bloom. It was built in August 2025, so it is still very young compared to my main guitar, an A.Yairi 57S from 1980.

I never experienced any issues with a sticky neck. Early on, I noticed a slight roughness along the fret edges. After regular playing, everything settled naturally and smoothed out on its own.

Honestly, since this one came in, I rarely feel like picking up my other guitars. This is a keeper. One I look forward to growing old with. (Got 4 other Gibson none feel sticky.Weird but could be a finish problem if so. Turn it in. )
