hey, do y'all know if these entry-level gibsons are plek'd? the description states the nut is plek cut but doesn't say if the guitar is run through the machine........
i had thought i read somewhere that gibson installed their plek machines on all assembly lines, which i read to mean it's a part of all guitar assemblies. prolly wrong though.............. |

Yours says this: A PLEK-cut nut made from black Corian™ subtly complements the black speed knobs and black pickup rings, while enhancing resonance and sustain. The traditional back-angled headstock is silkscreened with a gold Gibson logo and Les Paul Model. So only your nut is plek'ed (like mine) But I still need to replace my nut, it doesnt quite grab the G and B strings right. Slips a little. maybe string trees would be a better option for me, too. |

i know they all come with a bit of high action, which is fine for me at the moment. but some say that's to make sure no buzzy frets, although gibson states it's for better tone. bottom line: i have no idea! ![]() |

was just looking for after-market availability on that Min-etune device, apparently it's not gibson's own but one by Tronicaltune.
Man, these are NOT cheap! http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Tronical-ROBO...em1c3945 f7bc |

amazon is going to put this fender pawn shop '72 on lightning special at 4 pm PST today.
if it's anything like the discount they put on the lp i snagged, this will be a killer deal this is a fantastic guitar- super fantastic even! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846 |

hah, i just sold mine a ~week ago, it was my 1st guitar. my thinking is the lp will cover the tones this guitar cranked out, being it had humbuckers on it. then i will prolly stick with the strat/lp line up and keep the casino for fun cuz it's just so damn cool and raunchy- full hollow with p-90s.

I know how that is.. early last summer I ordered the Ibanez Satriani online. FEDEX was supposed to deliver it at 10am according to the tracking number. I went out to shipping every hour on the hour..no guitar. Finally at 4pm I sat there on my golfcart in shipping and receiving for another hour waiting and then said screw it..time to head home. I was driving through the industrial park and I saw the FEDEX truck and pulled him over. He had my guitar..so I took possession of it on the street.

well, good news and bad news.
i received 2 les pauls today, the first one materialized in the ups system this morning and it was delivered with the 2nd one. the bad news is one of them is badly damaged in shipping it appears and the other has a fucking divit that's been glued back in where the nut meets the fingerboard. |

id get rid of the one with the glued in neck repair. Sounds like it's "B" stock. These lower end Gibsons are really hit and miss, sometimes you get Chinese quality, sometimes you get what's expected of US quality. I got lucky I think |

gig bag, i suspect that's why the one was damaged when i opened it, it was in a box that had been creased and i even thought to myself that one is going to be hurting when i open it up. |

i guess it's all worth it, amazon gave me $85 back due to the shipping mix-up after it was all said and done.
if they can get me a good one, the total = $565. not bad rly |

Wanted to share this in the Minte Guitar forum.
http://artistworks.com/ Its a learning site but its different, you can record yourself playing the lesson on webcam and your teacher sends you a video response back. The rock teacher is Paul Gilbert. |

it get's here monday, i went ahead with the epi tribute to compare the 2 side by side, it's scheduled to get here tuesday
i've always assumed the tele is only different from a strat in body shape. is it that different of a guitar? i had that tc-90 which was the double-cut tele body with p-90s, i kept pulling the E and e strings off the fingerboard on it though. it had huge fret wire, i think that may have been the prob. |
