Gibson Quality Control....

Remember when Gibson guitars said "People are gonna see a whole new level of quality" ?
Well this is certainly a new level. A Les Paul with a hair in the finish!
This is a little look at the quality control Gibson had in late 2019.

He said he wouldn’t trade it for a brand new one. So he obviously thinks it’s perfect the way it is.

[@CedricsSpecialLP]

@@Wargasm54 Maybe not for him. But in terms of quality Gibson screwed up. And that even after they changed to a new CEO and promised us they would do better. And it still happens. Around 2 months ago, Glenn from Spectresoundstudios bought a brand new Dave Mustaine Signature Flying V for $2800 and it had a flawed finish. A flawed finish that would have been acceptable on a $400 guitar, but not one with a price point at which you might as well save up a little more for a custom shop instrument. And the fact that it was a signature model, makes it even more embarrassing. Glenn (in this case the singer of WALKER and owner of this Les Paul) may find it unique (because it is) and cool, but to many others, it’s a deal breaker. It would definitely be for me since $2000 is a lot of money. Just because he is okay with the flaw, doesn't mean it is generally acceptable. More power to him for keeping it and having fun. I am not judging people based on the guitars they have.

[@Wargasm54]

@@CedricsSpecialLP if it’s not acceptable, he can take it back. Gibson stands behind their products. I have 4 Gibson Les Paul’s. 2 of which are custom shop guitars. And they are all flawless. What cracks me up is people buying Gibson guitars and then complain about them. If you didn’t like the guitar, why the hell would you drop 2k+ on it?! Idiotic. I’m not a Gibson dick rider, I love my Japanese built ESP’s also. I also have Ibanez, Schecter, Dean, a few LTD’s and one Squier that is actually a kickass guitar. Just seems like the Gibson hate train is always full of clowns. Does Gibson put out bad guitars here and there? Yeah. Every company has put out their fair share of duds. Should Gibson tighten up their QA for the prices their charging? Yeah. But the bottom line is, if you’re going to pay over 2 grand for any guitar, you should probably go play it first . And if you don’t like it, don’t buy it. This guy bought the guitar, and even with a hair in the finish, he would rather keep it than swap it for a new one. What does that tell you? No matter how bad the QA is on Gibson, they play well and sound badass. You want perfection, buy an ESP. You want a guitar that sounds like nothing else on planet earth, and plays great, get a Gibson Les Paul. Nitro finished guitars are much more difficult to make and finish than poly finished guitars. I personally prefer poly for durability. But it’s a compromise I’m willing to make for a Gibson Les Paul. Not everyone is the same. If you don’t like Gibson’s, don’t buy one. Pretty simple really.

As someone who repairs instruments for about 15 years now, Gibsons from the 90s up through about 2014ish are the most common ones that come in with unfixable neck twisting. In the latter 2010s they must have changed how they select and store wood because I never see any signs of it

That's funny, I bought (and returned) an American Pro II Telecaster where one of the 4 bolts for the neck was drilled completely in the wrong place and then pulling the neck hard to one side and causing the paint to flake away from the pressure. I thought it just needed the "fender tap" but no, it was much more serious. That absolutely should have been noticed. I also bought an American Pro II Strat where the nut pinged like MAD with the slightest tough of a tuning machine or trem. It was unplayable and needed a new nut (too low to be re-cut). Also returned. I did find good ones, eventually but to pretend that Fender has better QC is a bit rich to me.

[@teerexness]

And this isn't a new thing. I've been playing for 45 years and guitarists were talking about dicey QC back in the 1970s. Nobody would buy a Gibson without playing it first.

[@MikeGgeetar]

It's a rare hairburst reissue. It's follicly well endowned. It is a chest hair from the great Les Paul himself, cryogenically preserved so it could eventually be carefully installed into the cleft of the top. It adds a certain hirsute quality to the tone, as it is in fact, tonehair. It was destined for the Zeppelin-esque guitar god who accidentally choked on on a Bear hair whilst singing Disney's "Hair Necessities" at a Barber Shop Quintet gig. The guitar therefore found itself in the bald hands of Rory Gallagher's secret love child, nicknamed Bigwig.

[@everennui1]

[@alexandermossel6466]

Years ago I bought a Harley Davidson Night Rod Special. In guitar terms the Gibson amongst the motor cycles. Like a Les Paul, it didn't come cheap. After two days I discovered a thumb print under the clear coat of the rear fender. When I went back to the shop where I bought it they refused to accept my claim. Both companies are comparable in many ways. They sell you a dream, carefully constructed by marketing people. I have watched Gibson CEO James Curley closely since he started at Gibson, giving him the benefit of the doubt. I think he is totally fake. Look the way he dresses, my God, grow up man. In interviews he says all the right things, but he doesn't deliver on it. Sounds familiar? It is called marketing. He spent his career at Mars, how much do you pay for a lump of sugar? Apparel and sportswear, how much do people pay these days for a pair of Jean's made abroad that cost a few bucks to produce? People wake up! When Pat Metheny was interviewed about his trip to Poland he told the story of how the people in the Radio studio in Warsaw put a crappy noname guitar in his lap, connected to an even crappier Soviet tube amplifier, requesting him to play something for the listeners. Out of courtesy he obliged. Poor Pat, used to playing different vintage Gibson ES guitars amongst others, was terrified that he blew it. Later when he heard himself back on the radio, he could not tell the difference from normal performances. That made him think, and it should make us all think. We are sold a dream about legacy, craftsmanship and tone wood by shrude business men that pretend to be on our side. All crap, like Harley Davidson they are only in it for the money (paraphrasing Frank Zappa). Customers don't matter, and judging from your video, the health of their employees doesn't matter to them either. They are a means to creating share holders value. And don't get me started on pedal boards, Dumble amplifiers and stuff like that. If I would have spent half of my equipment's value on a decent guitar teacher, I would sound much better today. I will let you in on a secret. When I bought my tube amplifier collection years ago, I took a real good guitar player with me and listened to the sound while he was playing, just to be sure the amp was capable of a truly great sound. Today I'm still not even close. Not convinced? Look up the video of Brian May and the story of his DIY guitar, and the Deacy Amp. I rest my case.

[@theothertonydutch]

That's why Royal Enfield owners are happier people. :P Jokes aside, I've started building my own guitars. I think guitars are overpriced generally and for 250/300 bucks you can assemble something that will get you there and is unique. I think a fair price for a well built factory guitar should be about 500/600 bucks. The entry level stuff that is sufficient has all the problems that come with cheap labour so there should be a decent middle ground at that price range (this is something I'd say people should be obliged to research themselves) Look at Tim Sway, he literally builds guitars out of trash and they sound great. His building philosophy is good too.

You can't go wrong with Godin guitars. I own three of them, a relatively inexpensive Art & Lutherie Wild Cherry acoustic that I bought for $200 on an introductory special (they later went up to almost $400 Canadian), a 1993 Godin Artisan St 1 Ultimate super Strat ($1,200 Canadian new, but I got mine used for $750 Canadian in 1998), and a 2020 Godin Radiator Trans Cream which was $799 Canadian on introductory special (now selling for $1,080) and there's not a single flaw...or hair, for that matter...on any of them! Simply put, they are all superb players-grade instruments with great tone, easy playing, and are made entirely in Canada by the skilled artisans of Godin Guitars. (They also make better LP's than Gibson does, with their top of the line Summit carved top series.)😉 The Wild Cherry (as its name would suggest) is primarily made of wild cherry wood, with spruce bracing, a hard rock maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard; the Artisan has an American linden body with a German carved birdseye maple top and neck with an ebony fingerboard; the Radiator has a silverleaf maple body and neck, deep tenon set neck, a rosewood fingerboard, and a dark brown tortoiseshell Formica top covering a deeply hollowed out body, with a matching veneer on the 3x3 headstock. It is also one of the most naturally resonant guitars I've ever played in over 40 years, and I play it more often than I do my 1991 PRS Custom 24, that's how flamin' great it is!😉

ME: "Gibson, my Les Paul has a hair in the finish" G: "Don't say it too loudly, otherwise everyone else will want one too!" I guess this one is worth more than 2K to the discerning collector.

[@larseikind666]

Yeees! I'm going to repaint one of my guitars this summer. Not only am I going to leave a pube under the laquer, I'm going to make the hairiest and pubiest guitar ever! Saving up already...

[@schmoemi3386]

At least with this Les Paul you can be clearly haired through the mix..!? 🤔

[@bryanvaughn80]

the gibson les paul, now available in the coveted "23 and me" finish...

[@gramursowanfaborden5820]

the Ormsby shirt really sets the scene for the intention of this video but i'm well up for it because ol' Perry deserves all the positive bias he gets.

[@Wargasm54]

The guitar sounds fantastic. It’s neither hair nor there really.

[@jgunther3398]

i visited the gibson factory in nashville in the late '80s and was told a big concern was a mom buys a guitar and she gets it home and starts looking it over and finds some tiny defect in the finish and returns it to the store. it was a pretty wild place really

[@Vortigan07]

Anyone else hear the distant sound of Glenn Fricker pissing himself with laughter? 🤣

[@omikl]

That beats the thumbprint in the finish of my Ashton AP-1000 ;-)

[@briansimpson8116]

Loved the Trogly reference.

[@Bartolomeo9000]

The tone is stored in that hair.

[@Heivang]

Thank you boys. My daily dose of guitar information is filled. I am free from the chains of Trogly.

[@SnarkySloth]

The new Gibson Les Pube!

[@maddxdd421]

more like more pube

[@akosv96]

"This gotta demand a premium cause this got custom shop Gibson tone hair!" Jesus I'm dead 💀

[@RetroPlus]

That's tone hair, it's vital for the Gibson sound

[@kresimirjuricic3990]

That's a new finish option, Hairitage Cherry Sunburst

[@dannygray4898]

Glenn looks remarkably like the late, great Rory Gallagher. The Gibson "Hairy Tone" that's gotta be this guitars name.

[@almightyguitarnerd]

My new PRS Custom 24 arrived with COA with wrong serial number. You can literally see them on official PRS YT checking COA against S/N on the headstock. So funny. Took me almost a year to get this corrected with PRS

[@castleanthrax1833]

Bonding with a guitar is something that doesn't always happen. I understand him wanting to keep it.

[@timwhite5562]

Did CC use a Les Paul for that song? Nailed the sound.

[@KARAYAmetal]

2:03 Back From Cali!! 🤘🏽

[@DoomOfConviction]

Now it’s lore of your band that you guys have the harry guitar… awesome!

[@justaguy2365]

That would drive me nuts!!!!

[@vladasmeka]

Nice riffing. Emerald by Thin Lizzy. Splendid.

[@RadioMcRadioface]

every zoom in action shot should have settled on the hair every time :) well done

[@albertplaysguitar]

Reminds me of when I had an Ibanez with a mosquito in the lacquer finish...

[@conorheduvan]

Cool custom shop, 2humbuckers and a singlecoil on the body.

[@saltpeter7429]

"They'l have to carry me Back to Cali..." that was a Slash tune your buddy was playing on the Les Paul?( At the begining) I'm having one of those "Damn, I know that tune, I just cant place it!" Moments.

[@Axe_Slinger]

This will now be a sought after guitar years from now. It's a 1 of a kind!

[@V1VISECT6]

Do they still make those style cases? I got one from the 80s. My cat loved to sleep in it the most. Miss that little bugger. He was cool.

[@zeljko4189]

So the regular ones are HairLes Paul?

[@Joe-mz6dc]

"Hey waiter! There's a hair in my solo!"

[@rodrossi9749]

I figured there would be a ton of uninformed comments. Needless to say I'm not disappointed.

[@BaBaBaBenny]

The guitarist from the band Hella actually had clippings from his beard put under the laquer of his custom guitar. Its nuts.

[@JB54379]

Love the video! Funny how the buyer didn't even notice the hair, someone else had to point it out to him. LOL

[@mreyes8519]

Lmmfao “I play it really well”.. that’s the only answer to that question. Good lad 👍

[@cgoebbert]

I know I’m more than a hair late on this but my vote is armpit. You have a very nice guitar Glen. Hair and all. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘(an extra 🤘for the hair.)

[@DavelyDriven]

They dipped into the Quality Cointreau for that one

[@pedroleal7118]

'Don't that guitar needs a little more polish? Euhh, just a hair!'

[@TerryOCarroll]

"Let's not brag about quality control if we're putting out hairy les balls"

[@Shutupletstalk]

We need a Glen and KDH podcast.

[@JanderVK]

Someone alert Glenn on this! LOL He'll have a field day!

[@infinidominion]

I worked at a mental hospital and the maintenance guys never cared that they would wax the floors and have so many hairs just installed amongst it 😂
