Because the ground needs to be isolated for noise reasons. It’s not the best plastic jack so the hole was widened slightly to fit a much higher quality one with chunkier thread.

I’m not big on linseed or other similar oils for fretboards. I want a non penetrating oil that doesn’t cure. White mineral oil is perfect and cheap. I’ve been using the same bottle from ikea professionally for the last 7 years.

But I want my own because great nails shouldn’t be the realm of just the ladies.

Much better than a Shazza!

@@drgearaustralia Shazza? 🤘🏻😝🎸🇺🇸

@@drgearaustralia Just messing around. We pronounce it with a ‘ch,’ like chase or cheese. So it sounds more like ‘Chassy!’ 🤘🏻😝🇺🇸🎸

If the battery is low and needs changing, it won’t save any new data.

Yep. Had both messages, all good now after battery change.

You got very lucky on that one then. The super cheap instruments out there are more likely to have QC and manufacturing issues but sometimes they can be alright. Then again, it’s a $200 guitar so expecting a flawless instrument isn’t realistic so it’s acceptable for it to be on the janky side as long as it still plays. Getting a $1500 guitar that is hit or miss? Not acceptable.

@@drgearaustralia nah i honestly believe the cheap instruments are getting better and better, companies like gibson and fender arent changing with the times, its no longer acceptable to charge that amount of money for a guitar of that quality anymore, and if these companies dont change then the cheap brands like harley benton will take there place...

@@sirspongadoodle oh I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was just putting it into context. The quality of todays $500 guitars is beyond that of comparable instruments from 30 years ago which cost 4 times as much. Other brands putting out $2000+ instruments these days are immaculate but the legacy brands are leaning on that legacy due to how much PE money is involved in them. Suhr, Ibanez, Collings, Cort, plus many others go to show you can get great quality at any price and will get someting that's worth what you paid for it. However, I've found that anythign sub $300 is generally 50/50 on whether it's really playable or not. Seen several Artist guitars that were firewood, but thatnkfully the customer got replacements for refunds each time.

Anything older than 15 years would do well to have the power filter caps changed. Over 30, it’s a must. These have a very particular sound to them that’s akin to the Mesa Mark series amps and they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. Replacing the speaker with a good quality replacement helps them massively.

Yeah, that is luck. Could also be the difference between a players eye and a techs eye. There may be issues there that aren’t apparent to the untrained eye. I’ve worked on and sold untold numbers of Gibsons over the years and I can think of maybe a dozen over that span that would be classed as ‘flawless’.

@drgearaustralia I understand. I've been playing and buying guitars for 45 years. I know as much as there is to know about guitars. Everyone tries to copy the L.P. for a reason. Now people think all Gibsons have major problems. And you're right. It's probably the buyer. I love the sound of a proper Les Paul. Just make sure you inspect it and have the knowledge of what a great example is. If you buy one that's shouldn't have passed quality control. We'll that's on the person buying it. If you buy one from the internet, you better make sure they have a no matter what return policy. I'm not a rookie.

@@robertwillett4122”sound of a les paul” looks like someone needs to watch some glenn fricker

@@sirspongadoodle Yeah

@@robertwillett4122 ?

Even though they were at the peak of the bad manufacturing, seeing the proud ‘Union made’ sticker inside those old Gibsons meant you knew the workers were paid a living wage. The same thing happened with Fender over the last few years.
