Korbel is an Epiphone, Cristal is a Custom Shop Les Paul. So yeah, you drink it because you can. rct

We were sitting in Epcot one night during the Christmas holidays time a couple years ago, they have these concerts every night and such. We were sipping some bubbly from Fffrraanntz and on came Al Stewart. We sat there at least an hour listening. He did this one. It was nice! rct

You can drive over on the chunnel and get some straight from Louis. I am so jelly. rct

I last stocked up in late 2021, a bottle of Cristal was $239 or so, picked up three. Today? $349, no box. Holy crap. rct

Did you just box it up and ship it with a note that said FIX THIS, LOVE LARS or did you go through a dealer or what? How did you go about this stuff that you are espousing only half of. Great, I'm glad you did that, I am glad it worked out for you. How did you go about it? rct

lolz

This was about a customer attempting to make a 7.5 year old claim on the Gibson Lifetime Warranty, not about the fitness of any repair shop anywhere. If you buy a guitar and you don't like it within the 30 or 45 day return time, do you ship it back to Gibson and hope they give you your money or return it to the place you actually bought it, the dealer? It's pretty simple, Lars, but you are Mr. Bojanglein it all over the place to avoid it. There is a lifetime warranty, and if you take it to an authorized dealer you can start that process. Telling people to go straight to Gibson is bad for everybody, which you don't seem to be able to grasp. rct

And Pat Badger was the hardest-working bass player in show business. Seriously, every show, every time. He had to be with Nuno on the other side, flailing away at that thing. rct

Indeed. And a line or two further they clearly state how you are to invoke the warranty. Through an Authorized Dealer. So if you want them to honor the warranty, shouldn't you? rct

How To Obtain Warranty Service In the event of malfunction of your Gibson instrument, you should notify your nearest Authorized Gibson Dealer. That's what the CEO and The Board of Tone Directors are going send back to you, registered, certified, insured, signature required, return receipt requested. rct

No, it isn't. It's a dealer network, out in front of a manufacturer. They need each other, you need neither. Your beef about the car, guitar, refrigerator, whatever, is with whom you bought it from, and you didn't buy it from Ford. Or Gibson. Or Frigidaire. The dealer you bought it from has beef with the manufacturer, not you. rct

When your Ford breaks, warranty or not, do you flatbed it to Dearborn Michigan or do you take it to the dealer? rct

They were a great band. We saw them lots, knew them guys. Gary the singer got us backstage when he was the singer for that Halen kids band. lolz rct

lolz. Gibson doesn't care how many guitars you bought, traded, owned, gigged, or otherwise did their advertising for them. For free. Take it to your local Gibson dealer, that's the only entity they will even pretend to listen to. rct

I had a 50th Anniversary that had the same super-thin neck. It was also ridiculously neck heavy and I thought I could adapt. I couldn't. If yer flailing around trying to sing and play and you are constantly tensed up against the neck dropping it is not good. I used it for quite a few years and let it go. rct

LOL OUT LOUD! I was going to reply that I was almost home that day before I got used to it. rct

I remember work. rct

😍That's almost worth cutting a strat down to fit in it!😍 rct

I have a capo. rct

L O L Out loud. rct

You can't throw a rock without hitting a dozen 900 dollar guitars that don't do that. I wouldn't keep that, it is just not designed/put together right. rct

Ok. Why do that if they don't do that? Just curious. rct

Take it out of the house and play it. Yer welcome. rct

People buy them and try to pass them off to their friends as old guitars. If Fender and Gibson and all the others only sold guitars to guitar players they wouldn't sell any relics. It's what happens when you sell guitars to people. rct

You have to abandon the idea that you just turn on your amp, pick up one of your guitars, and just play and all is right with the world. It does not work that way and unfortunately, it will not ever work that way. Think about it. rct
