  2. Hello jcaffee,

    It was a couple of years i did the grounding and shielding, soo... As i recal it i covered the inside of the plastic plek with coppertape and soldered the original grounding steel bar to their proper connection points as it had detached. Nothing fancy but it worked out perfectly and still does!

  3. Well, you get what you buy, i got a recent SG and an old es120t, and they are what they are, the all mahogany construction yields the little slower and bassier respons compared to Ibanez artist, Gibson tried the sturdy 3-piece maple neck construction in the 70s, but the customers craved the mahogany neck, that´s it. That said, i got a bunch of Ibanez artists, semis and hollows, and i really like the multi-piece neck construction, nowadays Ibanez mix the woods, so i have i variety of solutions, but the common denominator is that the neck is very rigid and fast responding with a midrangey tone, great for what it is. Gibson have their heritage to take in count, the customers do not want anything but the traditional solutions it seems and i have nothing to complain on about that, i love my Gibsons and my Ibanezs, they just chose a little different routes, Ibanez had the freedon to chose while Gibson had their traditional customers craving the all mahogany neck, and we as customers can choose what suite us, fabolous :-)
