Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

This is one of those guitars that gets under your skin very quickly and will probably make you forget your previous favorites! Gibson did an extremely good job with Longhorn Double Cutaway. A phrase "words are not enough to describe it" suits this instrument well.

Feature-wise this guitar is perfect! There is no need to add or remove anything, and that is quite an achievement by Gibson, considering that it's quite hard to please every musician's desire, in order to grade an instrument such as Longhorn Double Cutaway with such a high score when it comes to guitar features. That means that Gibson has constructed more or less a guitar with perfect features, so if you decide to buy Longhorn Double Cutaway you will be more than happy with it.

Longhorn Double Cutaway looks great, and the reason for that is the extraordinary finish and top quality production process that Gibson has set up. This guitar is fit for professional guitar players. The action is great out of the box, and can be easily adjusted to whatever you prefer. This guitar is comfortable to play and it can be inspiring to play it.

Longhorn Double Cutaway is a reliable guitar that will go to hell and back with you, and would want to do it again. It's a magnificent instrument that is reliable on stage as it is in studio. It will stand the beating and still would not lose its charm and ability to perform. Gibson did make the instrument that should be considered the most reliable in its class!

9.5. Visually this guitar is stunning, a knockout - I have yet to see a single picture that does it justice. The hardware on this guitar is top shelf with no compromise. The versatility of this guitar exceeds almost anything gibson puts out with the possible exception of the Alex Lifeson Axcess.

Overall quality is 10/10. Not to mention the fact it is a limited run and a made in the Gibson custom shop.

This guitar is completely undervalued on the market. To get a Les Paul with this finish and overall qualtiy one would have to look at a Les Paul Supreme at $3500, and you still would not get a double cut, dual output, blendable single output, and piezo.

The only reason I cant give it a ten are the EMGs have to be worked with on the guitar tone and on your amp - but that is true of all guitars. I flatten the tone on my tube amp, and then take over with the tone on the Longhorn and voila! The universe is right again. This is tonally one incredible, beautiful and versatile instrument. I almost dont want to play, and just leave it in perfect condition and watch the price skyrocket. I should have bought two.
