    Bridge Plate Mounting Hole Poll

    in Gibson Acoustic

    Posted

    The "Gibson Homecoming" is going on this week. Several of the folks are already here in Bozeman as they like to get first pick of the guitars offered for sale at Music Villa. I will make an effort to have some of them bring up all of the bridge plate concerns and get some of them to take photos of the entire process so that we can all see the exact reason for the problem, and this mess is a problem. This has gone on long enough and someone needs to step up and explain why they can't fix the issue.

     

    Well this is the week and we shall all have a better idea of how this will all work out. I will try to see if Gibson is going to consider this a warranty problem as it is obviously a problem generated by them in the building process. They will be asked about solutions to the problem.

     

    Just so you folks know. Just because it's being discussed here on the forum doesn't mean that Gibson/Montana knows about it. There can be a disconnect between customer service based in Nashville and the production team in Montana. I don't know if this is the case but rest assured. The solution will be at hand.

     

     

     

    Haven't run into the problem myself, but thought this might be a good place to say "thanks Hogeye" for the effort on this one.

    Any J-200 Jr. history buffs out there?

    My small book I have on hand here doesn't mention the jr. much. On your ordered model, what materials are the body, fingerboard, position markers and tuners? I know Ray Whitley had both a big one and a jr. custom made for him, per this little reference book. They were spruce top, rosewood bodies, ebony boards and fully bound. His had Tortise guards and were beautiful, per these pictures. Enjoy your's when she comes!

    2006 Les Paul Classic Goldtop Checking?

    You should not be experiencing checking on a guitar of that age.

     

    After Gibson changed the recipe for their nitro in late 04 I believe' date=' by adding plasticizers you would have to take the guitar from a freezer to the oven to even get it to think about checking.

     

    It looks like a pressure fissure.

     

    If your guitar was made after Oct 2006 it is chambered not weight relieved. [/quote']

     

     

    I think you hit it, Axe. Pressure.

    Love everyone's choice of guitar. And, as I've said I have 335's from age 13 in 1963 to 2006. I have never understood the concern over the 335 body size. I am an average size guy and have never played a more comfortable guitar than the 335 standing or sitting. Plus, it will go anywhere with sound also. I guess what counts is, isn't it just plain great the semi hollow series exists regardless of one's preference in body size, appointments, etc. !!!
