well I knew the asnwer before I posted this -- but .......... EVERYONE has their own opnions .
Frankly I LOVE mine -- IWANTED to love the ROBOTUNERS and kept them on as long as possible till --they BROKE -- and would not tune (dont go there I tried the resets and the computer b.s. and and and -- they broke-- it has GROVERS now......and ....they WORK (yeah)
the pickup -- GONE (sold ) and a replacement MUCH gnarlier good ol DOG EAR in its place (made 100.00 profit
) so my "in" on this NEW gibson was 450.00 "technically"-- damn GOOD eh?
so -- I still have the STOCK pots.... they seem fine -- w/ the new pup-- iuf they give me poo Ill replace them but no hurry
and the nut the much maligned ZERO fretnut thing
came with BRASS (some bitched too soft) so GIBBO sent out FREE titanium ones (I got one) seemed o.k. ....till a little birdie (@RVA ) told me about a TUSQ option -- drop in for the zero nut -- bought -- installed --- LOVE IT
I wish EVER FRIGGIN GUITAR had the ZERO nut TBTH -- its STUPID easy to dial in great action -- PERIOD -- wanna swithc string gauge ??? turn a set screw and boom excellent -- regular nut --- well, new nut -- nut files-- removing and sanding .... in short a FRIGGIN P.I.A. -- zero nut turn an allen key .......genius.
so long n short as bastard said --- this thing has GREAT BONES it is a THICK mahogany body a great neck ... and a well done GIBBO .....just have to "tweak" to taste
if you were lucky enough to snag one on the MF blowout deal back in 2016 or so you scored at 550.00 delivered w/ HSC
if not ...............same guitar used will cost you 7-8-900.00 or more now ...
and a NEW Gibbo lp Jr in Tobacco burst?????????????? 1500.00 kiddies...............
