The replacements are titanium, not chrome plated. And it is really no big deal to replace them. Brass has been used on saddles, so it shouldn't have really been a wear issue. Possibility the particular brass used was off-spec. As for the signature, in honor of Les, Gibson used the last know signature of Les. That makes it especially cool to me. Gibson did nothing wrong there, the problem is that you and quite a few others have no respect for that signature. That's a poor refection of you and the rest of the critics, not Gibson.

Sure, and that is supposed to make you feel better? Do you say that every time you hear the truth? You must have really enjoyed being part of the 2015 hysteria. It has been discussed many times since then objectively and 2015 are truly great ones. So you can quit banging that drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They genuinely didn't like the signature aesthetic. BTW, I have a 2015 LP that I am very happy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That signature is Les Paul if you don't like it, that's disrespectful. Nobody says you has to like it. But to speak negatively about it and make fun of it is just wrong. That is holding one's opinion of how it looks in higher regard than that signature. That is a terrible display of self importance. That is disrespectful. There is no way to whitewash that.

What nonsense..,.. How is it passive aggressive to say that he didnt like the way the signature looked? I agree, it did make the headstock look a bit ugly... Doesnt mean for a second we dont have respect for Les Pauls legacy... We are just saying we didnt like the way it looked on the headstock.. Just cos you respect someone, doesnt mean you have to like everything they do or anything to do with them.... Most of us also didnt like the little waving hologram on the back of the headstock.. I thought it looked tacky. Now that was more disrespectful to me, using his image in such a cheap way. We are allowed our opinion as are you. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
