Hatsubai's user review  "Kinda odd and rare Gibson" 6 (6/10)
Characteristics 7/10  The Gibson GGC-700 was made during their
experimental days. It's a unique guitar in that it contains some
features that didn't quite stand the test of time. The guitar
features a mahogany body with (I believe) a maple top, mahogany
neck with a rosewood fretboard, 22 frets, dot inlays, huge
pickguard, binding, hard tail bridge, two humbuckers, two
volumes, two tones and a three way switch.  Utilization 6/10
Right off the bat, Gibson aficionados will notice that the
guitar looks a lot like the old school Sonex models. I believe
that they're similar, however this guitar doesn't have that
composite neck with the bolt-on neck. This is a bit of a more
proper sounding Les Paul. However, the frets on this guitar were
worn to hell. It was in dire need of a fretjob. The nut also
needed to be replaced as the grooves were way too deep to stay
in tune for long periods of time.
