Black Dog Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 This is pretty cool. I think everyone should be familiar with working on their guitars. This looks like a great way for someone just starting to get some good instruction and build confidence. https://www.gibson.com/News/Gibson-Launches-Worldwide-Gibson-Virtual-Guitar-Tech-Service 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I saw it yesterday and thought it was cool that Gibson is offering it free and making an investment in educating people about their instrument. I played guitar for quite a few years before ever learning anything about set-up, truss rods, intonation etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I think it uses Zoom? Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Yes it uses Zoom, which I'm not familiar with, but apparently can be downloaded free. The only drawback I see was that first you have a 30 minute call with the tech just for him to determine what you know etc. Then schedule a second 60 minute call for the actual work you perform. That would be too much goofing around for me - I think in a hour and half I could set up an entire guitar including truss rod, action, string and pick-up height, intonation, cleaning etc. Still think it's a good program though and wish it had been around in 1966 or so 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 The two main roles I see for this would be for someone who is just trying to start learning about working on their guitar or for someone that has some experience but has a problem they just can't figure out.
