Hey guys,
long time lurker, first-time poster here, greetings to all of you!
I am trying to make a decision between Studio and Classic, from new "Modern" Gibson's line. Where I live it's impossible to find newer Gibsons, there are models from 2016. here, but nothing more recent. However, I did try a bunch of Studios and a couple of Classics in Berlin recently; to my ears and hands, Classic sounded a bit better, but felt a lot better, if that makes sense.
Here is my dilemma: I can't try the guitar, I have to order it from Germany and therefore I am afraid that I might get a lemon. Is it ok to say that possibility of getting a lemon decreases once you go up in the price range? Am I relatively ok with ordering a Classic online, more than with ordering a Studio? And how do you guys like 2020 (or late 2019) models so far, has the QC and general quality improved? I know that nothing beats trying a bunch of guitars and finding the best one, but it's not a possibility atm, so any advice would be most appreciated. Cheers!
Ivan
