Is no-one going to answer the guys question about finish?

alright, I was thinking of getting a flying v, but you all almost convinced me not to.  Gibsons all have the same homo-douchebaggy tone anyhow.  Those hagstrom guitars look pretty cool and they're a good price.  

Are there any other good options?

I dont sell EVERYTHING.

What finish question?

Hagstrom rhymes with FAGstrom. Jussssaynnng

There seems to be a leap in logic somewhere along the way.

I said that there are absolutely some good Gibsons out there. Soup to nuts, good guitars. But, I qualified my answer by saying there's definitely some stinkers out there, they've strayed from more traditional woods and techniques, and they are not cheap.

And I really don't think any sound homo-douchebaggy. Unless you plug into the new amplifier, the Douchebaggy™ by Homo.

*sigh* fine.

Relicing new guitars to replicate play wear that wasn't actually caused by play or wear is the weakest of all possible sauces.

Relicing guitars to make them look awesome is awesome.  Example before & after.





Happy now?

Don't know much about it as I lurk moar @ yon ILF.  Apparently username Masked Elwood is responsible for that badassery and it's Detroit inspired.

The Gibson LP's I have played,play nicer and sound better than almost any stock derivative. The good ones have even more than those will ever have. But if you're going to spend 2k on a guitar be sure to test drive a whole bunch of the fuckers.

Misplaced bridges


I know a guy who had that, it was a custom shop, too. The dude who looked at it was able to spin the bridge around which restored order to the universe. Fuckin shit thing to happen on an expensive guitar. Same guy had manufacture issues with a tuning peg on a 12 string Ric, so it ain't just Gibson.

I'm still rocking both my Gibson SG and my Maison Les Paul. I love how the Maison cost me more, hahaha.

Not so much straying from trad woods an technique, but sticking with them an missing all of the point. Keeping using woo when you can't get quality woo, and chambering it to make up for the deficiency, and still not sorting their headstocks out is sticking with tradition but making a shittier product because of  it.

RIC are worse. Tech mentor has one on the bench to have its truss rods out and was asking if I could sort videoing it to show how they are done wrong. Fender get it right, when someone starts making awesome upgrade parts, they buy them and fit them to some models (Highway ones with Badass bridges, various Dimarzio loaded, sig models etc.), RIC just threaten legal action for people making things in a compatible shape.

If the lesbo bassist plays a fag guitar, do the competing gay vibes cancel each other out, or multiply exponentially?
