Eades Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 So far i've sent 5 pelham blue non reverse thunderbirds back due to poor workman ship on the paint job. so far there has been paint missing, black flex in it, red flex in it and dents in the head stock just over sprayed, its just getting beyond a joke now i even had a email from Gibson saying the reason its poorly done is because its handmade, as i replied it doesn't say this on you website *warning paint job poorly done just accept it we done care, it actual says only a Gibson is good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Even Gibson thinks "Who buys a Gibson bass?" Git yerself a Jazz, you'll be happy. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Indeed, my Jazz and P are lovely examples of what that company can do. They are bass, much like Gibson is mahogany bodied sometimes-maple-capped humbuckered short scale guitars. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eades Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Gibson seem to struggle with one colour paint jobs that's why they do a lot of bursts it hides a lot of mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Gibson still able to get "real wood from trees" in 20,006? (apologies, bad sense of humour, couldn't resist). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I have an SG Std. Sept. 2012 manufacture with no problems on the Heritage Cherry. It has the Baked Maple fretboard. It's not a fancy as the traditional Rosewood, but the Maple gives it a sound I like better, closer to a Fender Maple with an attitude. The frets were set very good also.

RowdyMoon Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Ive got a jazz bass perfect paint job in midnight blue even the MIM paint jobs are perfect........just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 even the MIM paint jobs are perfect........just an observation. Agreed. It's not just the paint that's perfect on the MIM Fenders. From what I've seen lately, the MIM Standards are close to the Am. Standards on fit, and finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I just switched back from an Am. Jazz to an SG Std. I just like it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
