[Gibson Les Paul Tribute T 2018?? help]

What do you think about this faux binding ?

 

 

I like "binding" like that. Ditch the poker chip though.

Personally, I love the guitar. It plays great, and the sound is heaven.

 

Not sure what else really matters.

[Anyone Know Why Gibson Is using Hybrid Gauge strings now ?]

They got a good deal on a few pallets of some string manufacturers overstock? Henry read part of an article on the internet about hybrid stings? Some goof in production ordered a bunch of hybrid sets by accident? They are getting rid of old stocks of strings?

 

My question is do they cut the nuts for the hybrid string gauge.

[Dear Gibson:]

You head on into GC and ask them to do a "quick set up", let us know how that works out for you. And let us know what happened. We used to have decent conversations with you. You not swallowing all the pills in the little crinkly white cup?

So what would you recommend? More stomping of feet and gnashing of teeth to try and get Gibson to produce guitars that magically hold the perfect set up?

 

They actually do have techs at GC. A simple truss rod tweak isn't akin to a refret...

[Dear Gibson:]

This thread is for everyone to write their own letter to Gibson. Say what you will, be it a complaint, compliment, suggestion, or whatever. I'll start:

 

Dear Gibson:

 

Why are you sending guitars to your dealers without a proper setup? Today I tried a new 2018 Les Paul Classic at a local GC, and the neck bow was ridiculous. I practically needed a c-clamp to play a barre chord. And what's with these flimsy 9 gauge strings you're using? A P90 pickup was designed in a time when strings were heavier. PLEASE go back to 10s, at least on this model. I really want to buy a 2018 LP Classic, but I have yet to find one in a store that is playable.

 

Sincerely,

 

Long time Gibson player

 

Gibson can't possibly make guitars with perfect set ups. If they could, then all the adjustable parts would not be needed. Do you expect them to be in tune too? Just talk to someone at the store and tell them you are a serous buyer but need them to do a quick set up so you can play before purchase. I'd bet they would throw in a set of stings too...
