Gibson Quality Control....

Remember when Gibson guitars said "People are gonna see a whole new level of quality" ?
Well this is certainly a new level. A Les Paul with a hair in the finish!
This is a little look at the quality control Gibson had in late 2019.

Looks like the QC was just off by a hair.

The fact that none of those Gibson employees were not even wearing a respirator while spraying those guitars is insane.

[DevilsR]

"Just play the damned thing" - that's what half the guys on a gibson page would say. Their ability to excuse qc issues from their favourite brand is phenomenal

[DoomRoomRecords]

I can't believe Gibson lets their employees get in a spraying boot without any safety measures. Damn!

[craigstills]

I think that the hair gives it more sustain. I can hair the difference.

Fun! My $1795 Strandberg arrived in immaculate condition. Apparently, those kids in Indonesia, really know how to make a guitar.

I used to work in a nationwide music store, here in the US. Pre-pandemic, around the same time this guitar was made, we got in two 335’s with the nut cut wrong. We sent them back, they filled them, and cut them wrong a second time. One was a customers guitar. It’s embarrassing.

A guitar that costs more than 2 grand needs to be absolutely perfect. With how many great guitars you can get for a lot less money, there is no excuse for having any flaws in such an expensive guitar. If you want a classic style Les Paul, you might wanna look into Heritage guitars, which is run by ex-Gibson employees.

This is a rare guitar, that was never intended to leave the factory.

What you are seeing is part of Gibson's top secret counterfeit/lawsuit detection initiative (Operation: Only a Pube is Good Enough).

Each guitar will be implanted with a DNA sample of a Gibson employee. They will then use a cutting edge scanning device that will allow them to scan the DNA sample to determine if the guitar player is Playing Authentic. They are still working out kinks in the scanning device.

Your singer may want to contact his attorney. I'm sure Agnesi & Company will not be pleased that this project has been leaked to the public.

Ibanez sold guitars containing Steve Vai's blood in the finish now Gibson sell them with Slash's pubes 😂

[SonofsamSJF]

The Trogly intro was so good. Bravo chaps.

[HiGlowie]

Glen is hilarious. Please have him on more. I was dying laughing at the guitar before kid joke.

[Maxiamaru]

Between this, and Spectre Sound finding the flaws in the finish on the Mustaine V, I'm actually thinking Gibsons QC may have gotten worse. Also those spray booth conditions were... I mean why the hell do they even have a sealed spray booth if guys are just walking in there to film, and if employees aren't wearing the BARE MINIMUM PPE?!

Also the "we are learning how dust affects the finish" quote. Painters for decades know how dust affects the finish of anything. It ruins it. THATS WHY YOU SPRAY IN A SEALED BOOTH

[Tarn]

I wonder if Gibson's quality control was always like this but it was never put under this much scrutiny until the past 5 years or so due to all the infamous PR blunders.

[michaelcordero]

40yrs later that guitar would be featured in the Trogly's guitar show with a unique story about the famous musicians who previously own it, like the Greeny one. That hair gonna have stories.

[EdwinCombs]

I'm shocked that people are spraying guitars without wearing proper PPE (personal protective equipment) 😳. That says a lot about Gibson as a company. OSHA should look into Gibson.

[EricBourassa]

this guitar is going to be worth a fortune

[tonehunter]

That's the first edition of the new Gibson Les Paul DNA model no less. A true signature model.

[jetblack]

I'm not shocked to be honest. I used to work in a guitar store for 4 years and I have seen more bad Gibson than any other brand.

[MikeGgeetar]

It's a rare hairburst reissue. It's follicly well endowned. It is a chest hair from the great Les Paul himself, cryogenically preserved so it could eventually be carefully installed into the cleft of the top. It adds a certain hirsute quality to the tone, as it is in fact, tonehair. It was destined for the Zeppelin-esque guitar god who accidentally choked on on a Bear hair whilst singing Disney's "Hair Necessities" at a Barber Shop Quintet gig.
The guitar therefore found itself in the bald hands of Rory Gallagher's secret love child, nicknamed Bigwig.
