B.T. Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 It’s really funny - I’ve been much more of a follower than a participant in the forum but I just have to jump in on this!! Over the years I’ve been following, I’ve read with interest the various comments - pro and con about the eb and flow in Gibson quality and necessity of choosing the perfect guitar and I’m certain there is truth there, but in my experience, I’ve purchased three Gibsons via online sources (no opportunity to try them in advance) and don’t have a complaint with any of them. In fact I wouldn’t trade any of them. I don’t know how many guitars I’ve bought and sold over the years but with the exception of one Martin, none have come close to the sound and quality of my Gibsons. (Sure - I confess - I’m over 60 and utterly enamored with the name on the headstock. Took me a d.. long time to be able to afford em and no amount of belittling from a self proclaimed expert can supersede 50 plus years of actual experience.) Conversely I could write a book about the issues with my 74 Fender Strat neck. Or some of the import guitars that simply fell apart after a few years of constant use. Even there - in spite of some terrible quality issues, I managed to muddled through countless gigs and worship teams. Somehow I even had a great time! I enjoyed the music and camaraderie and I learned how to fix or correct the problem. What a pleasure it is to finally have quality instruments! Knock ‘em all you want but I suspect it’s more out of envy than reality! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it just got tiresome. Now, let’s get back to our regularly scheduled dust ups on the merits of of relic-ing 😄 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieDog Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hey folks, I just realized Pepper never got into the scrum which seems…. unusual. Curious to see if he was just exercising admirable self-control and avoiding the thread, I checked his profile and saw he hasn’t been on since Friday? That usual for him? He’s gonna be bummed he missed the party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have gotten down in the mud with fujifilmguy and I wouldn't have been able to ban one without banning the other..... are you picking up what I'm putting down? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I really was >< close this afternoon to just effing the guy off with censor dodging spelling and the use of really bad words to let the clown know he had been politely handled by the guitar players here. I was willing to take it for the team and get the whole thread erased. What a clown. rct 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbasher Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) I just bought a 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard and it didn't have the tone and sustain that I expected. When I sawed it in half, I saw a gap in the neck joint. Gibson told me that they wouldn't honor the warranty. So, I glued it back together, listed it on Ebay as a relic and doubled my money.

Narwhal6 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Wow! It got all Lord of the the Flies in here over the weekend. Circled the wagons and gave him some what for it appears. 😂 Dude seemed to be hell bent on agitating, that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrairieDog ceremoniously hands the shiny, “BeeGee,” gold-plated, bisected-guitar to Dub-T-123. The crowd roars with approval. A murmur of outraged dissent emanating from the dumpsters in the alley is not heard in the auditorium.

I need to go to the beginning. From quick glace a guy bought a 5k Japanese guitar and wants to put 2k pups in it? And I guess he is praising the guitar he got and bashing the Gibson.
