It seems the ladder-braced Gibson acoustics are somewhat polarizing from everything I've read. I often hear them deemed desirable for blues but are otherwise not as "good" as X-braced models...

I am not a modern metal person so I can't speak accurately as to whether... Forum [Guitars in General]( [Read more]( [Visit The Gear Page]( [Unsubscribe](
