Everyone talks about how easily the Gibson Les Paul headstocks break... I'm guessing they haven't actually tried to do it. This guitar took a beating.

While gigging in San Francisco, a band who was billed before us was setting up. And the band's guitar player was bragging all night that he "only played Gibsons". He was a rich kid- about 21 years old and was a mediocre guitar player if anything. Of course, he is setting up his restored 1959 Marshall Plexi half stack (mind you, we were in a small club) and he had a Les Paul Custom with wireless receiver connected from that guitar to his Marshall (along with unnecessary compressors, exciters, etc). He went to the bar with his girlfriend and left his $3,700 (at the time) guitar leaning against a tour case with casters. Well, his drummer was setting up for his set, and he bumped the case and th5e Les Paul fell and went *CRACK*. The headstock cracked almost completely. It was literally hanging by a piece of wood grain. This happened 2 yards in front of me. The guitarist ran to the stage and tried to pin the guitar falling and breaking on me, his drummer, and another spectator. The club owner saw and told him that it was his fault that he put his expensive guitar, that he shouldn't even be playing in the first place, against a case with casters. The guitarist started flipping out, crying like a toddler and hyperventilating. He said that "his dad was going to kill him" and things of that nature. I asked him, "so it's your dad's guitar?" And he said, "everything here is my dad's". Lol. My point is that the guitar didn't even look like it fell hard. Instead, it fell at the perfect angle and it almost snapped clean off.

Hey Ludwig just wondering where you were playing in San Francisco not really a reply on the actual comment but just curious in the 80s that I was living in San Francisco in the western addition and I was a professional drummer at the time and yeah I'm just curious what what the venue you were playing at my first gig out there was in a place called mabuhay gardens which I know closed down a while ago quite a while ago but also you know whenever there was a new set we play at Chi-Chi's also played a couple of times at a place that is also defunct on the upper head it was called a tiny little wine and beer bar called a the night break played once at another place that's the funk now also on the upper head call the I-beam and divisadero Street place called the best club visual other places to those are just a few that come to mind so yeah and one other thing actually has to do with the comment I don't think anyone can tell somebody I should tell somebody that that's not a guitar that should have brought to a gig I don't think it's anyone's business or anything to tell anybody what guitar they can play that again unless it's of course evidence in a murder in which case probably not too wise to bring to a gig you know I had drums like that because people always said my drum and killed them so LOL bad joke I know sincerely to read Raphael AKA Bob the blind bedroom guitarist

Main giveaway is Gibson don't use scarf joints on their necks, this guitar clearly had a scarf joint and it also shows they used poor quality glue since the scarf cut clean when it snapped.......CHIBSON certified
@adrianguggisberg3656Ай бұрын
@@nicolashrvthis broke nowhere near any glued joint. The neck snapped where it was impacted, near the 7th to 8th fret and where it's the least stable, at the truss rod channel. The uppermost third of the neck including the fretboard managed to flex and not break or separate. From there, fracturing propagated along the wood grain in both directions and surfaced near the scarf joint, where the strain was much higher because flex was prevented due to the abruptly changed orientation of the grain. In other words, the headstock didn't snap nor was it otherwise involved in the damage other than providing the ground glearance for the neck to exceed its flexural modulus when the bloke was jumping on top of it.

Definitely a Chibson. No nibs and the thin truss rod cover give it away. That being said, I've dropped two Gibson Les Paul's from about waist height, due to not having strap locks. Only damage was a scuff on one that went away shortly after, and a broken tuner on the other.

I don’t know what caused it to happen, but a j45 I had hanging on the wall for years fell about 4 feet onto a soft rug and snapped the headstock at the truss rod cavity. Never figured out why the hanger came off the wall. It was in the drywall with those plastic expansion things and they pulled out. I wasn’t there when it happened so I have no clue what happened. Only thing I can figure is the dogs were and he jumped on the desk and then jumped to the wall of guitars. That’s very unlikely though. But all that to snap that Chibson, and it didn’t even snap at the headstock. Yet some people say Chibsons aren’t built well and use junk wood. I think this proves that wrong. Unless good wood and craftsmanship makes things more delicate

@zuperdee2 ай бұрын
1) It looks almost as if this neck finally separated along a scarf joint. Gibsons typically don’t use scarf joints, so I don’t think this is a typical Gibson headstock failure mode. 2) I notice you didn’t have all the strings on the guitar. Having tension on the neck makes a big difference.

A friend of mine had his Gibson, not Chibson, and a late Norlin era one at that, fall off his strap and land headstock first on a cement floor The only damage was a small dent on the headstock and he had to retune a couple of strings because the tuning buttons moved when it hit. So doing this with a Chibson isn’t going to invalidate things, when Chibsons are more cheaply made
