No just no. For example PRS innovated on the Gibson headstock design and greatly improved tuning stability by not having the D and G string go through the nut at an angle. That's what I'd call progress.

@@2und2sind4 Gibson are damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they try to innovate by changing the headstock angle or adding different tuners or using weight relief - then people complain about it.

I had a Gibson 2008 faded flying V and I spent a lot of money on it as a teenager in 2010 on making payments on it, and I was sad it had tuning instability, electrical problems too from what the technician said when I kept bringing it back in to the shop that sold it to me in payments, but after awhile they took it back and let me pick 2 guitars and call it even and I truly miss that red flying V but I'll just wait for a epiphone used before I buy a Gibson because I was disappointed in it, I loved that guitar and it didn't want to work out for me. I still have the case for it

@Les537 4 года назад

How can it have electrical problems that are not easy to fix? It's a pot, cap and pickup. V's tend to stay in tune well due to the inline tuners. Because you can't understand basic electronics in the guitar I'm inclined to think you also don't know how to set up your nut to match your strings and thus tuning issues.

@blakeoms 4 года назад

@@Les537 straight out the case the Nut by the headstock was needing to be replaced because when I Bent the G string a full step any where down from the 7th note it would slide off the nut slot on G. So actually, yeah I did know a little basic anatomy of what I was going into with that guitar. The built in neck was actually rolled really awkwardly which is why it got sent back the 2nd time when I had it for a good half year playing it a lot but then it got sent back for good. I have a shecter with a floyd rose special and Mammoth slinkys tuned to A# standard right now loaded with EMG 81-85 and I haven't had to tune the tuners at all.

Do you think that other guitar-manufacturer employees work under better conditions in asia? most esp ltd for example come from indonesia now and i bet they have worse working conditions for less money and i don't even want to talk about china.. And this is the reality when we as customer demand more and more quality for less and less money, well guess who suffers, the employees and the environment because a company has to stay economical and you have to make decisions as a CEO or leader to be able to deliver quality for "reasonable" price to stay competitive so you can secure the jobs and homes of everyone of your employees and make a healthy grow and well if you can't get the resources, equipment, facilities, transport etc. cheaper, then the employees will be the ones getting impacted by it (less salary, worse conditions, etc.). I do not want to insult your friend or any other person but i have no idea about your friend's level of education or his job at gibson, but maybe this is reflected in the different salaries and i can't imagine that everybody earns the same amount in such a company, because the salary usually depends on factors like work experience, education and occupied roles in the company.

@Joe___R 9 месяцев назад

Cesar Gueikian, Would you please consider my solution to greatly reduce the amount of Gibsons that get their headstock broken. Add two carbon fiber stiffening rods that go from the neck and into the headstock. Use continuous carbon fiber layer linearly and have the end angled to match the headstock. The holly veneer and the fingerboard will fully conceal them so it would not change the look at all. But would make the neck to headstock transition so much stronger. Please consider doing this, it would make every Gibson fan so happy and willing to buy new guitars that they can more safely take to gigs without having to worry someone might knock it over and break the headstock.

@lelov1392 4 года назад

Luis Coll.. Martin’s got a point. And it’s a good one. To add to that, it’s for added peace of mind. If you’re a customer, spending your hard earned money, It’s a no brainer. Hey, for those player who spends a lot of time playing, no matter how careful you are, it will eventually happen at some point. And who hasn’t ACCIDENTALLY dropped or brushed off their guitar before???!!! Luckily for me it’s a strat or a Tele!!! And for Gibson, it’s the Achilles heel of their guitars. Having a set a neck, makes it almost impossible on your own to change the neck if the headstock breaks in a way that the whole neck needs replacing. If Gibson does something with it, it’s called innovation! If not it’s just stubbornness and maybe they did just don’t care, couldn’t be bothered as long as the company is still profitable. But hey, PRS USA single cut is the BETTER option. They’re not just keep getting better each year but they actually give a damn about their product! Coming second is the Godin Summit, cheaper alternative, and its Canadian made.

@elbik95 4 года назад

@@lelov1392 man I've met guys that have spent 30 years with the same guitar and have never dropped it, and they've played it every night, and personally know a guy that owns 64 Gibsons and none of them have headstock repairs. Adding a big chunk of wood there is uncomfortable, if you play a 70's Les Paul with the damned volute you'll notice. For me, adding more wood there is like adding a big bumper to a Ferrari, you don't need it if you use it right, and the people that actually asking for it are frequently not Gibson fans. There are definitely more options out there for other players, nothing is better or worse, i personally never liked much PRS, and i've played a few American made through the years. Changing your product every year doesn't make it better, it just makes it different, and some things are better as they are.

@lelov1392 4 года назад

ozzie houser good for you bro. Real players, honestly, don’t give a hoot about the name on the headstock. It’s not about the brand name that really matters. If it sounds and it feels good to play, then it’s good regardless of the brand. Be a fan of the style of the guitar like the strat or Tele or 335. But It doesn’t need to be fender or a Gibson. Cheers

@lelov1392 4 года назад

Luis Coll you met guys, you know someone blah blah blah. How do you know FOR SURE, they haven’t accidentally dropped or bang their guitar??? Were you with them the whole time??? With regards to volutes on a guitar. It doesn’t bother me! For gods sake, it’s only on the headstock part of the guitar, it doesn’t go all the way to the entirety of the neck. Man up, and adapt!

I had to return two Gibson Flying V's because the finish was done so badly, that the E string would catch between the raised nibs and the frets all the way up the neck. I wanted a Gibson Flying V for 40 years, due to my guitar hero Michael Schenker but could not justify the obscene prices Gibson charges. It was my wife who eventually told me to buy one. Imagine my utter disappointment at the piss poor quality of the instrument when it arrived. The first one went back to Gibson Europe, who replaced it and the second example was just as bad.

Adding "ears" is your "sustainable" approach? What a friggin joke. The amount of waste in your one-piece neck construction is much higher than whatever little gain you think "ears" get you, not to mention the source of Gibson's most famous characteristic: the broken headstock. How about make a real change to scarf jointed necks? The right glue will render that joint substantially stronger than your current process, and you won't need nearly such a thick blank for one neck.
