    Gibsons have about 35 guys working on the line producing their guitars. Its pretty common among experienced players that their quality is sporatic these days.

    I had an SG and an original Firebird. But once I went to a superstrat with a 25.5" scale, unpainted neck, etc... I never looked back. I find quality superstrats are simply superior guitars.

    Gibsons are OK. But I find mahogany does not stick out in the mix when soloing. I don't find them particularly attractive guitars. I don't like the upper fret access of the Les Pauls although I do like the shape of the neck.

    I would look at a Dean before a Gibson any day.

    For lead Alder guitars are the way, for rythem nothing beats the warmth and chunk of a les paul. Personly i prefer rythem playing so i love my mahogony guitars. But i heve heard some great soloing on les pauls as well.

        I will concede, nothing sounds like a LP, but don`t tell me I have to pay top dollar for a LP anything with a dry board and fake inlays. Let`s face it, people will pay for the name. I have played some killer LP`s, but they are still way overpriced for what you get. Their quality can`t touch Hamer and Jackson. I have played them all, and the closest to a Paul that is 10 times better than a Paul is the Baker`s, the old ones before he sold his business. Now that is what a Paul should be for the money. Jack.

          I don't understand why the V has plastic saddles. Surely, plastic can't do much for tone as steel can. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

            I love how the Gibson bashers dive on any thread with the word Gibson in it. It's always the same thing. Overpriced, fake inlays, blah blah blah. It gets old. Can someone give me a price check on the 25th Anniversary RR? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

            Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.
