One of the things I really like about these videos is hearing from the Gibson team. The sound like they care deeply about what they do. Rob Johns sounds like a wonderful human being.
I love the detailed content and the story. In addition to the “how” guitars are built, it also shows the passion Gibson employees have. I am a life long Gibson guitar lover and have multiple. They give me great joy when played.
I just received my 6th Gibson Les Paul via UPS direct from the Gibson demo shop. The 50s and 60s Les Paul standards are beautiful. I have four 60s and two 50s models now. I am a Gibson lifetime lover. Thank you Gibson!
The large percentage of the hands-on building of your instruments is very impressive through all your video series, versus one of your main competitors with acoustic guitars that seems virtually all manufactured by machinery!
I LOVE MY GIBSON LES PAUL STUDIO. I LOVE ALL GIBSON'S AND 1 DAY WHEN I RUN INTO SOME BIG MONEY I'M GONNA OWN SO MANY GIBSON GUITAR'S. THANKS JIM DECOLA FOR THE VIDEOS ON UA-cam ABOUT SETTING UP OUR GIBSON GUITAR'S, I LEARNED SO MUCH! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GIBSON USA AN IF YALL EVER NEED A GUITAR TESTER, I'M YOUR MAN. 😝👍🇺🇸🎸
No, they don't use stainless steel frets. Stainless steel frets are a big fad right now, but if you listen to many pro guitarists (like Jeff Schroeder), they'll tell you that they have to change strings non-stop because the steel frets are so rough on them. People like them can afford to have their strings changed with such high frequency because they're pro musicians who have dedicated techs and get free strings, but it may not be a good option for a normal guitarist.
There's a wall of Gibsons that must have skipped QC at one of the local stores here in Melbourne. Every fretboard had either sharp fret ends, tooling marks on the board or both. Pretty disappointing, especially when the Epiphones next to them were 100%.
Maybe someday Gibson will learn how to use their plek machine....my buddy just bought a J45 and it has terrible frets....can't capo without buzzes all over the place. I can level frets by hand and get buzz free capoing. But no!!! Not Gibson!

Why do you have 4 '60s Standards? I could understand having 2 (one as a backup), but what's the point of buying 4 of them?
@@f3uibeghardt522I’m with you on this.. why 4 of the same exact guitar? Seeing as they have the same specs/electronics
So good! I enjoy these videos so much! Thx Gibson for another awesome piece of content 🤘🏻
Well done , as usual. Gibson is thriving ❤
Super interesting. Thanks for sharing
Nice footage! Love the look of crown and split parallel inlays. Cheers
More collections please!!
Really good stuff. I have a '91 J-200 that is just incredible.

Someday my dream 💭 will come to me from Bozeman Montana.

Does Gibson use stainless steel for frets? My 2006 Flying V had been played pretty much every day and it has barely any wear

when you love guitar so much, you find yourself here.....
Why dont they show how they do the fret ends nibs?😢😢😢
I thought they did. A belt sander that sands the end then rotates up 45* to bevel
it's pretty simple. it's just the binding and then you cut and shape it to size. the down side is re-fretting.
@@danielhoskins4690 they dont show how they do between the frets. How do they remove the binding between the frets.
@@christopher-miles what about between the frets?

Enjoying these videos. But I wonder why the Songwriter never gets talked about 🤔 I'm loving my Songwriter.

Whaaaat? So, the Gibson acoustics don't get Plek'd???
They do, just later in the process

most the people making music play fender instruments...
