    If you buy a Gibson, you are buying it as a status symbol, or for the name. I'm pretty sure even Harley Benton has better QC than Gibson. If you want to buy a single cut and you want a quality instrument to actually play... buy an LTD EC1000. There is a reason its called the best Les Paul Gibson never made. Plus, it looks better, plays 1000 times better, has better pickups (actual choices) and it costs less than half of what a piece of Gibson firewood costs.

I am hoping that now JC is no longer the CEO and Ceasar taken his place, the QC has not slipped. Seems like we are seeing more wood shavings in the pick up cavities like the Henry J. era at the end of his ownership group and the issues you had. Glad you posted this follow up video to fair!

    This is not quality control problems. These are workmanship problems. The workmanship is atrocious. QC is just being told to send everything through. If the customer complains then will do something. Anyone willing to pay the prices they are asking now for this junk is crazy.

      @@ChrisShortyAllen I ordered it and picked it up at the music store. Was in a hurry. Strummed a couple chords, put it back in the case and went home. It was actually the tail piece not the bridge. A little harder to notice. Anyway of course it would not stay in tune. Every time you stretched a string it stayed there. Gibson replaced it but the replacement had issues also. I definitely wouldn’t order another one. I might by one in person after going over it with a fine tooth comb. However I doubt it. Too many great guitars on the market Now. EVH, Suhr, Anderson, Even a PRS if I was hard pressed to get something. No, no more Gibson junk for me.

    Thank you for your evaluation, a candid opinion of the new Gibsons is always needed due to the over hype and price. It’s a known fact that there are guitars being made that are almost flawless and make good sounds and feel great that are priced fairly. I believe Gibson is over saturating the market and that many, maybe even half the buyers are not able to notice the flaws and will jump at the chance of a little break in price. The problem is there are too many of these showing up at full price and the dealers who care get better treatment and the one who don’t get the crap. And now they are building another false reputation on the new over priced Epiphones, with the same BS reasons to pay twice the price for something with a changed headstock. Gibson sells junk guitars all over the market and they and their new management should be ashamed by the smoke and mirrors clown act horse and pony show they put on . Greed is at the forefront of their agenda not customer satisfaction. Why they make such asinine mistakes with their product is legendary.

It’s also the heaviest at 10.4 lbs. AND I got it USED at Guitar Center in Austin, TX for right at $2,000 out the door. After seeing it on the wall and how expensive it wasn’t, I tried it out. And then I had to have it. I’m amazed someone let this guitar go.

    Gibson has improved the QC of their guitars over the past few years. Yes, one will slip by every now and then, and that has a flaw ..but me to i will look it over with my hawk eyes .. I just bought one at a guitar shop and it is flawless i cant find anything from fit to finish wrong. But you do need to look them over They are expensive for a regular working man, and my wife is still mad at me (we could have bought a new living room suite) So that's the next thing on my list..😊 I used to hear all kinds of horror stories about their QC and held off buying one for years.. But i am happy for you ,she is a beautiful guitar and Gibson took care of you ... now that's a big plus,company that stands behind you and makes it right .. Hats off to Gibson

    Sadly, over 50% of Gibson buyers accept this and Gibson USA knows it, and counts on it. That is why they let inexperienced hack trainees work on guitars before they have the experience just to keep up their weekly/monthly/quarterly production numbers and get the guitars out the door. I am planning on getting another LP and I don't give a crap because I will continue to return them until they send me a properly manufactured guitar. They and the dealers can eat the cost of the returns.

    I bought one of the LP tributes before they discontinued them. The fingerboard and the fretboard wasnt seated or sanded evenly and it was pathetic. Prior to that I bought a 2023 60s faded LP and the body and neck binding was so sharp it cut into my arm and fingers. Even with the $300 discount on the Faded LP and $200 on the Tribute they went back. I bought a 2023 LP JR that had $100 off and they gave me another $100 for some minor finish defects. I kept that one because it has "it".
