Anytime you buy something new it will require setting up to fit your style and taste in music and service to the bridge, nut, strings, fretboard and on, when you get it to fit you, then you have your new guitar 🎸. Every guitar I’ve ever bought has required this, barr none..

The history of the Gretsch Jet model coincides so closely with the Gibson Les Paul, it's difficult to attribute which company copied the other. The differences under the skin are many, so I think that it was probably just a coincidence that they look similar superficially. And saying that a Jet is a Les Paul copy is to ignore a lot of history. History like Gretsch being the older of the two companies. It will eternally be a mystery to me why the Les Paul became the more popular of the two guitars. I'd choose even a cheap Chinese Jet over a Les Paul all day long. Better neck, better tuning, much better sound. Their invisible semi-hollow construction and FilterTron pickups just give them more mojo IMHO. Just my $0.02.

I have two chibsons myself,a cherry burst standard LP that I absolutely adore, and a black Angus Young SG with lightning bolt inlays,out of all the budget guitars I own,these chibsons are the absolute best,they come the closest to the guitars they are trying to copy, they needed very little work to set up, I put locking tuners on both guitars,the pickups in both guitars sound excellent,no need to change them, I will upgrade some of the hardware just to make them more authentic, people always tell you to buy a Epiphone, I don't like their headstock design,or their price tags either, and the chibsons are quality instruments that can rival any epiphone model, this doesn't mean I will never buy another epiphone or a Gibson guitar, I'm still a fan,but I'm also not going to wait to buy my dream guitar, like the chibson Angus SG I've got,it would take me forever to save up the money for a real one which is around five grand, now I have a stunt double,if you want to test drive a Gibson,buy a chibson.
