A healthy nut is the secret to tuning stability.
Yes they are.
I could’ve sworn Faber used to market those inserts to be used with Gibson ABR-1 bridges. Either the Faber dude is trying to push people buying...
I think that’s the point of the Faded and now Tribute line. No fluff, just the essential to make a good guitar that is focused almost entirely in...
I have enough experience with guitars, particularly with Gibson, to have to agree with you. Gibson may rough cut the necks on CNC, but the final...
You played the Standard ‘61 hard tail and the Standard ‘61 with Maestro. The fretboard width on those are exactly the same, though. The neck...
Oh man, I see so much wasted potential with how people pull the trigger way too fast to swap parts. The neck pickup on my R9 for instance was...
Totally agree. My Slash Standard played terrible when I first got it. Action at the nut was way too high and it was binding, neck relief needed a...
We don’t know for sure if Gibson still uses the same grading system they used up to 2017. In 2018 their spec sheets became much less detailed....
You really don’t need a ridiculous amount of money for an amazing SG. That’s coming from someone who owns a Custom Shop SG. I think you’d be in...
Thank you, now I want a 2012 SG. Happy now? :rofl:
Nice. Everything about this guitar, the fretboard, the thin finish that reveals a hint of the mahogany pores underneath at certain angles, etc....
To the best of my knowledge they are 500k pots. They’ve been using 500k for a while so they probably think everyone will correctly assume 500k.
I’m 4 for 4 with Gibson CS guitars in terms of not having to do any work on them, including the nut. With non-CS the only ones that did not need...
My thoughts is that a guitar with a properly slotted nut will stay in tune well. I’m helping a friend pick exactly the Standard ‘61 with Maestro...
Just to clarify the technique thing. I wasn’t classically trained. However, I was around classical guitarist during my childhood and I do think...
I’m a huge fan of the current Standard ‘61 original collection USA SGs. I think they are some of the best Gibson USA guitars out there. You can’t...

The rounded neck is a very comfortable. It’s a bit chunkier than a slim taper neck, but it’s slimmer than a ‘50s (‘59) neck. They are very...
Great detective work. It’s one of those stories that combines comedy and drama. Makes you want to laugh, feel angry and cringe, while some side of...
