Wow.All are crafted from select tonewoods and are built with traditional high-quality features such as a set-in neck, 24 3/4" scale length and 1 11/16" width at the nut. In short, nothing is spared in the effort to make these genuine Gibson guitars, but they come in a format that saves you a bundle. This great looking model is crafted in the image of a classic Gibson Explorer with a gorgeous nitrocellulose finish. In short, nothing is spared in the effort to make these genuine Gibson guitars, but they come in a format that saves you a bundle.
Did I mention how nothing is spared in the effort to make these genuine Gibson guitars?
My bullshit detector just went off.Anchored by a timeless and tuneful stud-mounted wraparound bridge at the body end and a set of efficient enclosed tuners at the headstock

They're shite. Absolute shite.
It's disappointing they're still making these. The recent tribute models are fucking blinders, too. The 70s tribute with the Dirty Finger pickups and the fender amp knobs is probably the first Gibson I've really hankered after in a long, long, long time. If I could get things on credit then I would totally get it. Just over £700 for a fucking great guitar, which also has Gibson on the headstock.

Agreed. The complaints about the ever-climbing prices weren't actually a request to them to turn out sub-standard pieces of shit for a laugh.Fran wrote:Poor form by Gibson in my opinion. I prefer their original 'we only make quality guitars that will serve you well for a lifetime' stance than them churning this substandard shite out.
So.. £300 for a Fender Modern Player or £300 for one of these? Seriously? Fuck off, Gibson.
Leave all the tribute models for me while you're at it..

Modern Player is made in China though. Although I agree, they are cooler models and pretty well made.
Anyways, I kind of liked the bolt-on Gibsons of the 70s and 80s: Marauders, Invaders, Challengers, Sonexes and the rest. But people complained about the bolt-on neck before the internet, and people still complain about it on the internet.
