Lets look at our guitars thread
Discussion
Thanks chaps. I'm contemplating a poker chip (I notice they've reintroduced it on the 2018 traditional - this is a 2017), might have to have a little google. The pickguard can stay off though.
It sounds glorious (straight into a Marshall DSL). I've been playing with exploring the various tones, its a good bit heavier than any guitar I've ever played and seems to sustain for days. I may have gone a bit mad, my ears are ringing so doubtless the neighbours are in a mood.

There have been a few interesting threads and videos on Gibson recently. It looks like they have hit a rough patch as of late and could be heading for the s
tter along with their prehistoric guitar range. They've a long history of making an arse of brands that they have bought but they seem to be pissing off even the Kool Aid drinkers at the moment.

Do you have a specific point to make or is this a general rant?tter along with their prehistoric guitar range. They've a long history of making an arse of brands that they have bought but they seem to be pissing off even the Kool Aid drinkers at the moment. smn159 said:

I don't know about that, I've bought two 2017 Gibsons (including the one above) in the last six months. Both are excellent guitars although I will say that the setup needed a tweak on the Traditional. Maybe a little irritating on an expensive guitar but certainly no more than that.
Whether or not Gibson is on the way out as described I have no idea. On the plus side mine will be worth more.
Which brands do you mean that Gibson has taken over and what about them? Genuine question as I've not taken much interest in their corporate affairs.

Can't really fault my 2016 SG other than the neck diving (They all do that, Sir...and they doi) and the 1950's SG in the range that couldn't have existed but we forgive the marketing department their sins. It's a perfectly well made guitar & plays & sounds exactly like an SG should.
Are new LP's rubbish then?
