No nibs, clearly a refret. Your fiddle is envy worthy, = Stunningly gorgeous!
Congrats.
Gibson is a real mystery to me because mine is a OCT 11, 2018 but has the appointments that were listed for the 2019 run such as, Unpotted Custombuckers, dark Analine dyed back, Carmelita neck carve, ambered over Logo, tinted binding? Where these on any other 2018's?
Thank you. Normally i go for a top like what is on "Sandy" or the one in the pic below! ??No nibs, clearly a refret. Your fiddle is envy worthy, = Stunningly gorgeous!
I do not believe a thing Gibson tells us anymore! They have proven to me that they cannot be trusted.
Come on! You mean to tell me you weren’t interested in getting the most accurate P.A.F. pickups ever for $1000 a set; even better than the 1958-1960 P.A.F. pickups? They already reverse engineered the plastics, the nitro, the pots, luxe caps, even the wood!!! ?
But i already got the "Most accurate PAF's" back when they first introduced the Custombuckers? Remember? ?
Yeah i agree as long as the refret was a good one. I did what i could to check the work. I used a feeler .004 feeler gauge under the fret and the frets are all seated tight into the board
The hang tags that came with mine were for the 2019 spec, listing the Luxe caps and unpotted CB's. But mine absolutely did not have Luxe caps. Side by side with the Luxe's I bought the difference was obvious. I didn't take off the pu covers to confirm wax potted but they were not nearly as microphonic as the unpotted Thro Baks I put in, which leads me to believe the CBs were potted. My conclusion was that by the time mine left the factory they only had 2019 hang tags left to include in the case. They might also have been using up whatever 2018 spec parts they had left, hence the caps.
Hold the train folks I really like the top & color on that fine specimen !!!!!! "Lazarus"
you are about the 7th person to say Lazarus when seeing it don't tell JB i have his guitar! ?
sounds good! ?
Thanks for the info.
