msaint Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 When I say "rolled", I mean the sharp right angle is "softened" just enough to smooth the edge without sacrificing any fretboard real estate, sort of like the high end PRS's. I'm thinking you're referring to a rolling like Fender does on its fingerboards, which in my humble opinion is a little too much, especially in their higher end models.

I have twenty six Gibsons ranging from the economically faded SG and LP studios, to a 1958 LP. With the exception of the '58 and several other of the older models, the fretboards are either rolled or at least the sharp edges are dulled. However, this new Bass' fingerboard doesn't even pretend to be anything other than a sharp knife in the hand. I'm really tired of the way Gibson consistently chooses to screw its customers around and around, and at the very highest prices at that! I'm through with them forever, unless they make a guitar with a vagina on it, and it better be a good one too. I also purchased a 2019 Blonde Guild Starfire VI for $1400 that puts all Gibsons, I've ever seen and played (I'm 75 years old and played the chittlin circuit during the early 1960', and later a studio rat for Capital and Decca) including the ES-355 to shame IN EVERY WAY! And it's Korean manufactured. Far better quality, infinitely superior playability, infinitely superior pups, and infinitely superior tonal quality. Sounds like heaven through any kind of amp or pedal too, and they make Gibsons look, sound and play like garbage. Since I first picked the Starfire VI up and played it, I haven't even thought about a Gibson. I'm going to sell them all and just get several more Guilds, they're so much more superior in every way. well go to the Guild forums and sing their praises over there.. stop wasting your time here...

This thread stared in 2013, but if they start making electric guitars with vagina's on em, I'm gonna start playing electrics again. When you say it better be a good one are you talking about the guitar or the vagina? Edited April 19, 2021 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I can't say I've ever encountered a bad vagina. Bad people with vaginas, yes. I also can't say I've ever heard anyone say a Guild electric from Korea was super wonderful but whatever makes you happy. BadBluesPlayer had one for a while but I think he sold it off if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure his didn't have a vagina on it, maybe that's what did it.

kidblast Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) it is hard to argue with a word like vagina,.... but still.... I can't say I'd appreciate one on my guitar, I mean, the distractions I have are already bad enough...

msaint Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Lol, good sense of humor. But yes, the Guild Starfire VI is a wonderful guitar, much better than its Gibson counterpart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Bad Vagina would be a killer band name. Remember L7 as Camel Lips in Serial Mom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaint Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Lol, yes it would. I copyrighted the name long ago. But would a girl band look better wearing the name as opposed to a male one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NighthawkChris Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) A vagina on a guitar... I like my guitars but not where I want to F them. That’s what I do with vaginas... not with a guitar. Oh man imagine the issues that guitar will give you once a month until it hits menopause. Then it’s vintage! What a way to redefine binding bleed!

NighthawkChris Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 @Sgt Pepper from what I found he was making love to his amp. That’s ok though when Jimi does it. I once knew a guy in high school who tripped on so much acid he F’ed a couch. You don’t want to be called or known as a couch f’er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Jimi was making sweet sweet love to his amp and not just ramming it in there like a heathen. I've done the nasty on a couch, but have intercourse with the couch . . . nope.
