Definitely agree about Gibson. I absolutely hate Gibson.

The best way is to play it and see what you think!

When I go into a store:
1) If I am looking for a certain type of guitar, I ask the guy in charge. If not, I try to find the one that looks the best to me.
2) Play it.
3) See how comfortable it is.
4) How it sounds
5) Price. And if I can afford it...
6) Buy it, go home and play!!!!

play one if you cant put it down and you just cant stop playing it cause it sounds and feels so good ,and it stays in tune its a keeper.
