I've played many Gibsons - in different stores - and they vary noticeably in quality. Rarely found a great one.
Every Gibson I pulled off the shelf at the 5-Star Dealer was superlative. Strikingly so.
The shop had only recently been upgraded to 5-Star status. I chatted with the owner about that. He confided that with the upgrade, Gibson was now sending him what he described as "the good stuff", adding that the pieces they got before were not at the same level. This comports with my first-hand experience. YMMV.
