Cool video. I have a NOS R0 from a few years ago. It's great. As is, tbh, every other Gibson I have, which include CS and USA guitars. I reckon I'm one of the super lucky people who Gibson have been kind to. Perhaps Gibson QC are kind to lefties (if a bit mean with the models made available to us)
I ran into a bad batch of Gibsons in 2007… but have owned over 40 since then and haven’t run into any issues other than a very green TV Yellow Les Paul Special haha! Cheers -Ryan
Are the heights of these pickups consistent? I have checked many Gibsons before, and even if they are of the same model, the factory height varies. The height of the pickups has a significant impact on the tone.
Yes. Whenever I do comparisons I make sure that the pole pieces are at the same height specifically for this comment. Generally from factory there will be variances in heights, but my ‘57, ‘58, ‘59, ‘60, ‘61, and ‘64 were all at the same height when I bought them. Cheers -Ryan
Thanks for sharing. Ordering a 60's VOS Murphy Lab.

May I have that guitar please? I’ll give you my chapstick I didn’t open yet. Brand new right out of the box 🤷🏾♂️
Send the chapstick to the Murphy Lab and we'll talk haha! Cheers -Ryan
