Wow, that was a wild 6-page ride.

So does that mean that any guitar that isnt solid or have a set neck as described in the OP has no tone or sustain
Yes

When you can set each string length individually.... if any string is sharp on the 12th fret, it means the string is too short....so you lengthen the string, re-tune it open then check the 12th fret. again....repeat until the open string and 12th fret are the same.
Obviously, if the 12th fret is flat, the string is too long...so you do the above but shorten the string.
At least that's how I do it.
Same here.

They can afford to move anywhere if they don't like it. It's like that a-sshole Tom Morello and his commie BS. Move to an oppressive regime if that's your idea of a good time. If not, stop wearing their symbols.

Its basically a studio album with some added audience noise. In honor of Guitar God, and an album I wore out when I was younger. Did this album really need an 8 min Peter Criss drum solo? No it didn't.
That one does have one helluva cool cover. They should never have expanded their stage set.

Oh man. RIP.

There is a local shop that has what looks like a Gothic Les Paul for sale, but there are some inconsistencies. It has a gold emblem on the headstock and no picture on the back of the headstock. It does have the moon and star inlay. It has white pickguard and knobs (which are easy to explain as swaps). Serial is a 8 digit that suggests a 2000 manufacture date. Does anyone have input on these or is it a fake of some sort?
The Gibson logo is gold? Hm... Gibson customer service can probably help you out, but that sounds fishy to me.

Which is why you should play before buying.. Keep in mind the Vintera is MIM not USA…
It's weird, I don't think I've ever played a MIM or a MII where I had an issue with the fretwork. I've played a NUMBER of MIC Epis recently with really bad fretwork, As much as we rag on Gibson for their QC, I've come across some disastrous Epis in the last few years.
They're probably running their workers ragged to keep up with demand.

Looks late 80s/early 90s. I think I recognize the corners or something, so I doubt it's fake (if that matters).

I wonder how much of that is the fact it’s Brazilian. I’ve had older Gibsons where the boards stay nice n glossy year after year. I had a ‘96 Herb Ellis that had the most horrible coarse dry feeling board (Indian).
I think you're onto something.

On the actual upside, winter until recently has been fairly mild, so we just buckle down four more months and then it (the weather that is) starts to get better. I cannot wait.

Mm. It's a mystery.
Okay, next person. This is too depressing.

Pangs of Arctic cold. I dunno, what's Fahrenheit for minus 20 Celsius and lower? 0 is freezing point. -10 C is when it gets WAY too cold. -20 C and colder is effin' ridiculous.
On the upside, we have the highest taxes in the world and rampant gang violence.

That cleaner most likely melted the lacquer finish so it probably is not an easy repair unless you know what you're doing.
What he said. Leave be, unless you want to spend money on buffing and new nitro (luthier).

I don't even think "lemon oil" is anything more than mineral oil with lemon scent.
That's what it is.
Once annually if the climate requires it. If you get a really dry one, you can oil it a few times after another and you'll notice it darken (if it's dry, you'll also notice how the wood drinks up the oil from the surface in no time).
It's not the devil if used right. Also remember to apply, wipe off any TOO apparent excess, and LET SIT for about a half hour. There's no point in applying it and then wiping it straight off. Unless it's just for cleaning.
To dissolve glue, knock on wood, you'd have to, I dunno, use actual oil from lemons? Some people actually do (and it never ends well for obvious reasons).

Also, never ever tell anyone you print sheet music of your demos. Your success or lack thereof in the music business WILL depend on it.

I think the album cover is all black like leather.
Yep. And the CD has both "Listen to the flower people" and "Gimme some money" on it (for real).

Never answer. They'll use that to.... can't remember what it was, but it wasn't good. Something like that.
In today's world, you have to just delete and ignore.

Google "Digital Audio Workstation". A DAW is essentially an entire studio in program form, so you need a DAW program, a sound card with inputs/outputs, and a computer with a decent CPU. You can add as many tracks as you like/as many as the computer can handle.

The original Jessica has a medium neck, so good for news for those who want a slimmer neck?

Is there a list out?
Not exactly something you even remotely want to Google...

I love when Gibson fans say stuff like this. Just make me scratch my head. They willingly accept sub par QA.
I know. But only Gibsons sound like Gibsons to me. It's a trade-off, albeit an unfair one at current prices. But I hear ya.
The one change Gibson made that ruined Gibson guitars.
