Not what I was expecting at all when I got up this morning, but my guitar collection has expanded by one. And not the type of guitar I would have expected even if I was expecting one. A kind gift anyhow, and I have to say it's not at all bad, and kind of fun, seems quite resonant and nice to play. The neck is unfinished, which I guess keeps costs down - it feels a bit rough, but I know I can make it lovely with a bit of 600 grit wet and dry, followed by a few thin coats of Tru Oil. Can do a bit of a fret level and setup, and I have a few spare pickups knocking about for an upgrade there. Obviously not a genuine Gibson, and it's a bolt-on neck, but the dimensions, control layout and headstock shape look pretty spot on.

It's often surprising that all these odd shaped guitars are capable of sounding similar to any other guitar you might play.
Enjoy.
So far I’ve been very impressed with the quality of the guitar. It was perfectly set up straight out of the box; all it needed was tuning. It’s fitted out with the standard PRS 85/15S humbuckers with coil splitting, three-way selector switch, master volume and tone controls, and a PRS-designed tremolo bridge. I’m finding it extremely easy and comfortable to play.
Strat shapes work and SG shapes work, tele too, but prs don't.
Time to thin the herd anyway as I just ordered a Yamaha.
