I believe you're mistaken. 58s and 59s are the absolute worst for staying in tune. It's high time the world know the truth and these POS guitars be sold for what I can afford!Hmm
Perhaps it might be a good idea to persuade people that Gibsons, really do have a tuning issue...
Especially 1970's Les Pauls...
Convince the masses that they are worthless and therefore they should just give them away...
And there is something specific about a 1977 les paul custom in tobacco burst, and the 1954 reissue customs that just will never be properly in tune...
yeah yeah... its will be excellent oh yes...
I might have issues, doctors have yet to comment one way or the other on that.
I believe the problem manifests itself starting in 54!I believe you're mistaken. 58s and 59s are the absolute worst for staying in tune. It's high time the world know the truth and these POS guitars be sold for what I can afford!
I have one. Ok 3. I have 3. I bought one and liked it so much I got 2 more. One stays at home, one stays in the studio, and the 3rd one is for my 18 year old to use on his mandolins (which is why I bought the original one, for the record). Makes string changes and tuning checks so easy I do not like to be without it.Talking of tuning has anybody tried one of these? The new winder feature is handy for restringing and I find it useful for rough tuning once restrung. It's pretty accurate depending on how good your tuners are but obviosuly not so useful on stage. More of a workshop tool I think.
Are you talking about the clip on tuner that goes on the headstock ?I have one. Ok 3. I have 3. I bought one and liked it so much I got 2 more. One stays at home, one stays in the studio, and the 3rd one is for my 18 year old to use on his mandolins (which is why I bought the original one for the record).

That goes for just about everything else going on in the world too!Tom, these so called experts spew their ignorant crap all over the web and then everyone starts to believe it. Makes me crazy! :teeth
To me this guy in the video doesn't know how to use a Gibson . Good golly Miss Molly , my G string went out of tune . Wha Wha cry me a river . Everybody is an expert and knows better than everyone else and thus gets their 5 minutes of infamy on You Tube . Cry me a river !He says it was a design flaw because the strings go to the side on the headstock too quickly on the G and D strings
Glad I didn't waste my time watching this drivel as this is an often heard refrain that my Gibson wont stay in tune . It's one string -G , and everybody that doesn't know the joys and wonders of a Gibson point the finger with all of the usual and obvious complaints of it costs to much . If this were on Family Feud the #1 thing on the board would be it costs to much !plus he's a pain in the butt to listen to...
Imagine that ? Gibson is the one that takes flak for this though which is just not fair one bit . Mr. Gruhn is the absolute best and a fine gentleman as well !!!!!!!!!!My good friend and former neighbor is George Gruhn of Gruhn Guitars. I enjoy taking him to lunch and frequently do so on Saturdays. Commonly, I will head down there about 11 and many times he does not get free till 1pm ish. During that time when he is "busy", I get to just walk around upstairs at Gruhns and look at guitars. I love doing that. One day recently, I decided to measure D and G string angles on many different guitars. Know what I found? Gibson angles are NOT anywhere near the most extreme of string angles and no different than many other guitars. String angles of gibsons are not much different than Martins. No one says Martin goes out of tune.
