Riffster Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Nibs historic specs are cool, they are small due to the thin binding. Nibs on the USA line look stupid-ish to me being that they are so large due to the thick binding. I wish my SG did not have them specially when they are not smooth.

badbluesplayer Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah - My guitars have nubs. And bounding. Not around the headstick though. Mostly around the bodice. My LP has creme packup rungs and scratchplaque. My 335 has Mickey Mouse oars and a slim tapir niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Farnsbarns Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Just to be fair... "Nubs", is a meaningful word and seems correct. "Nibs", as a way to describe this feature, makes no sense. I vote for a change to common usage of nubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Mac Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 About the only advantage I can see to going "nubless" is an ease in fret dressing/polishing. I can see why Luthiers might find it advantagous in a more consistent fret finish from end to end and not having to account for the binding material finish concerns... But that's my own mind speaking and has nothing to do with any actual experience, just my own brain kicking in from what I believe to be the case purely from a visual aspect/perception on my part...

BobF_ Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 But how do we refer to the guitars? Nubinised and non-nubinised? No, that's already been claimed ... http://semuwemba.com/2011/06/24/ Maybe it's nubenized and nonnubenized? Yes, those seem to be available!

quapman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I kinda like that Pippy feller. He's an ok guy. So I will keep my complete disinterest of nibs to myself and not proclaim how little I care about them.... I think he kinda likes those nub thingys.... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Why is the leader of North Korea so interested in gnibless Gibsons and doesn't it look like he lost weight? Is this the new Axis of Evil I've been hearing so much about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacealf Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 And being two 0.075" will give anyone a 0.15" extra room for -- well -- ah --- what? a tenth of an inch extra. Give her all you got I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My LP has creme packup rungs and scratchplaque. My 335 has Mickey Mouse oars and a slim tapir niche. This just cracked me up. Good thing, because I needed a good laugh. Been dealing with budget crap for the last two days. It's easy to say what one wanted when that person has passed away. I can't imagine Les Paul EVER saying that. I just wish they would be honest with us. Whether you like them or not, it comes down to saving money. Look here to see the process involved to get nubs, nibs, bibs, ribs, dibs, fibs, or whatever you call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
