I guess they have accumulated a lot of good will for making actual budget guitars that are really good.

Yeah it's basically the fact that they've had extremely playable guitars for sub $500 for years when Gibson hasn't been particularly interested in doing that. Also they're apparently dicks to non huge name artists with signature models?

You mean the Bill Kelliher thing? Yeah, the way Bill describes it felt like a goddamn slap to the face.

I’ve read about it multiple times and I still can’t believe Gibson hosed up that hard. Mainly with someone as straightforward and decent as Kelliher.

Man Mastodon isn't exactly some little indie band, you're just kind of bad at business if you gently caress up that hard with someone who has a massive audience to tell people you hosed up.

Honestly that Mastodon story is one of the reasons I don't own a Gibson. (The other reason is that I know two people with $1500+ Les Pauls where the headstock just spontaneously split off when not being played... Use a loving scarf joint. It doesn't make a loving tonal difference.)

What's hilarious is that all those Harmony Central cork sniffers are obsessing over accuracy when most of their heroes played copies. Slash played a 59 copy on AFD. SRV played a loving Tokai for most of his career. Those "100% historically accurate" features.... aren't actually accurate to the instruments you think you want.

their boomer chud customer base will revolt if they deviate one iota from the lovely original design. they tried using volutes during the norlin era and those guitars are considered bottom of the barrel

It's what I dig so much about literally every other company that does a Les Paul copy/Les-Paul-esque design: IT'S A loving NO BRAINER, PUT THE SCARF JOINT.

That guitar is suitable if you're the house band at a Renaissance Festival and nowhere else. Or your lead singer is wearing armor.

I love that metalocalypse episode when they were recording. It's 100% stupid music poo poo, including when Nathan Explosion put on a full suit of armor to record vocals and the bands attitude towards pickles.

I think they determined that "water" was the cleanest, purest "element," so they thought it would make for the perfect platform upon which to record the purest sound ever recorded.

Help! I've been diving into the rabbit hole that is learning about synths and it's scratching both musical and engineering itches. I hate everything about this but I loving love it. Doesn't help that the guy on reverb's channel is really good and how in their other series on "how synths work" I was able to fill in any gaps in the lesson with poo poo from school.
