gibson has been plecking guitars at random (well not exactly random, but some of them in need) and my LP Satin Ebony was plecked according to a tech i took it to.
just thought i would throw that out there.
I don't know if thats true. Also, Gibson wasn't using a PLEK process in 04 when I was made, from what I know. I also wouldn't know how a tech would know that from looking at a guitar. Back on topic I LOVE the ebony board, wish they were on more guitars.
