Members Hoddy Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 I was checking out a lefty Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul SG Custom and something didn't quite look right...then I noticed the bridge was angled wrong...be kinda hard intonating that one. http://cgi.ebay.com/LEFT-HAND-CS-GIBSON-SG-LES-PAUL-CUSTOM-61-REISSUE_W0QQitemZ290119081591QQihZ019QQcategoryZ2384QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why it's for sale. A Nashville bridge may work since it has more saddle travel than an ABR bridge. Also, I hate when people don't rotate their pics. I hate turning my head sideways to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's a real Gibson (and it does look like it), I can't believe they let that one out of the shop...speaks volumes for their quality control.

Members dcindc Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 Yeah a couple of my SXs are made like that.... NOT! That is a pretty wall hanging or blackmail for Gibson. I would make them buy it back, used or not. For a pile-o-money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Burningleaves Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 It does look angled wrong. Something like that would be covered under the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hoddy Posted May 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 It does look angled wrong. Something like that would be covered under the warranty. It's listed as a used item and not knowing how old it is it's questionable whether or not it would still be covered by the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm...Did not catch that little "used" bit in the upper corner. Ya, From what I remember Gibson has a "lifetine" warranty for the original owner.

I PM'd a couple of the moderators...Justcrash and Hackedbychinese...I don't know who did it. The reason I picked this moniker is my first name is Hank and Rydarcik was the last name of my great-grandparents on my mother's side...they immigrated here from Austria-Hungary.

Members 's mel gibson Posted May 21, 2007 Members Share Posted May 21, 2007 Something doesn't quite look right with the Diamond on the headstock. The bottom two 'ice picks' seem to be a bit too far away from the truss rod cover. On my SG/LP Custom, the bottom two 'points' are practically touching the trc and all other customs are the same way. Don't cha think? Here's mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
