GuitarBizarre

No, if you look, its me saying that les pauls are uncomfortable. The neck joint was news to me, but i can't claim to know everything and I'll admit that set necks were never something I spent a lot of time thinking about. I'm much more familiar with different bolt on systems and neckthrough construction.

As for this guitar, it was owned by a personal friend who keeps very good care of his instruments and never gigged heavily or transported that guitar around without its hardcase.

As for the plastic yes it does since the plastic strips and the peg then doesnt rotate, I've seen it happen on a couple of different SGs.

As for the neckdives, I'll admit that my viper does so also, but the SG is one of the worst yet most popular guitar designs despite that fact.

Also, as stated above, the only reason gibson get away with this is their name. Gibson buyers are slowly turning into a mindset where things like this are to be 'expected' on thousand dollar plus purchases. Hell, as mentioned, Jimmy Page hates his own signature model that Gibson charged tens of thousands for.
