clarkuss Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Take Gibson now - worry about Tuners later. You're going to get a great guitar that you want. If it turns out the tuning isn't all that great then you can always invest in a like for like replacement that will cost you under $100. My housemate has a Gibson SG Faded and his Gibson Tuners haven't presented any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stig Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 People complain about tuners, but I think a lot of it is psychosomatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 $60 tuners aren't a reason to turn down a very nice guitar... that's what I paid for a set of Gibson greenkeys/Deluxe/whatever they're called. You can also spend $80 on identical-looking "Historic" tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelE Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Sehr gut! I'd definitely keep that Frau. Buy something before she changes her mind. The heck with the tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midiman56 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 If your concern about tuning stems from the Vibrola unit, I can tell you that my experience with it on my Firebird VII has been excellent. No tuning issues whatsoever ... wish I could say the same for the Bigsby on my Gretsch although that could also be partly caused by the floating bridge on that particular guitar. That said ... the Vibrola is not for dive bombing! You can, however, give it a pretty fair wiggle with no problem. Lovely gift from a woman who's obviously crazy about you ... make sure you cherish and take care of both! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreal77 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thanks. She knows Ill appreciate a gibson since i have fender and epis... Yeah, definitely will take an SG. The truth is, i like guitar with trems, mostly for aesthetic reasons and a vibrola looks great on a sg. Yeah my wife is great and so is my kid.

jcwillow777 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 You have and awesome wife! I'd go for the VOS SG with Vibrola. I have a G-400 with Vibrola and I have never had any issues with it. They look like a class act, no doubt. Personally, I like the feel of the Vibrola over any other trem that I have used. You gotta give us lots of pics after it happens.

jerome_travis Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 my vote goes for the edwards - seriously! absolutely top notch workmanship, i have played 7 before and all 7 are fantastic! FLAWLESS fit and finish, comfortable C shape neck as compared to the chunky Gibson one - and seymour duncan pups - a little too generic but it plays really well!
