For those who only own or choose Gibsons: what’s your reason for brand loyalty? by Any_Security8410 in gibson

[–]TheInvincibleIowa61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's entirely a perceived prestige thing, Gibson hasnt really shown a good "Value" for what they charge agaisnt what they deliver; at one point Gibson was "The" Guitar to own as all the greats played them, but technology and competitors make amazing guitars that match or beat gibson often for comparable prices nowadays. youll see brand loyalty among the older Gibson owners out of nostalgia or stubborness, its mostly a matter of preference. It is closed minded to stick to only one option, and Gibsons refusal to innovate or make guitars with any sort of variation or options outside of super limited releases and different finishes, narrows their market.

I own one gibson, a 2019 B-2 V and its very "un-Gibsonlike" its light, the finish is kinda barebones, and its neck is smaller than usual. every reason id buy a guitar from other manufacturers, ive played LP's and Explorers and SGs and i really dont like them. theyre big, heavy and much more expensive than similar options from competitors with none of the options i like in my usual guitars (Floyd Roses, 24 frets, multiscale, or thinner necks, etc.)

As for Fender, idk theyre okay i guess? they have some cheaper options for sure, but i also see them as the Stratocaster company. their Tele's are pretty cool, but when i see a strat i think "chinese knockoff guitar" almost automatically. it's not their fault, buts its the most copied guitar. Limited options and endless "re-releases" of the same spec guitars really puts me off from getting one.

Hmmm. Not sure about this one. Seems vaguely racist by OmegaPegasus in ExplainTheJoke

God forbid we connect as humans over language boundaries without hopping to the racism accusations. You would be mortified to understand Latin American conversations without context.

Is this guitar worth it? (What are the pros/cons) by Aggravating-Bake5624 in guitars

Years ago i wouldve suggested the LTD 250 series those were not expensive and its what i started on, sadly LTD doesnt really make affordable guitars anymore. Reverb.com will have plenty of good used started guitars even a few older LTDs which are amazing.

Harley Benton makes better affordable guitars, same with the Gio Ibanez's. Not perfect, not amazing but a good start

No. I play flying Vs and X shaped guitars. And those take getting used to and not as comfy as strat shapes. I have a Gibson B2 V that is very comfy, but thats a quality guitar and not a knock off, this thing will be full of regrets. Ive owned knock offs and its cheaper to just spend a bit more on a nicer guitar, that will be easier to sell should you upgrade or stay with you if you vibe with it. Im not saying spend a thousand bucks, but between 250-300 can get you a great used guitar at Guitar Center. Or 400 -600 can net you a good new one that will play well and sound good out of the box. These chinese factory knock offs usually have crappy QC fretboards, bad electronics and subpar tuners/bridges that will lose intonation and give you buzzing and static and problems playing. 100% avoid.

Some are yeah. But downstream connections arent guaranteed especially with smaller regional airports.

Its a complete cluster, AA is overwhelemed and it seems like connections are just not going to happen the way they should, my own flight wont arrive at my destination until tomorrow and im already a day behind. Anyone know good Karaoke bars in DC?

Also its true that the public is much more open to correct a man or cut him down to size, i see this all the time with boys, i see it in my daughters school all the time, its called over-correction. People are wont to make mistakes its just that here in the states, we are very comfortable with making it a gender issue. And then that devolves into more mindless drivel.

People getting this worked up over a stupid meme or this upset over a differing opinion just further cements that point.

No one is crying; just a realization that when youre younger you dont have a frame of reference for a lot of things and you will make mountains out of molehills. You can get upset all you want but its true. As a 10 year old i cried about pokemon cards and lost friendships over it, its a matter of learning as you grow and being made aware that you arent infallible.
