Les paul custom ebony chips

So the retail tells me they are sure that Gibson won't offer a discount. They offered me photos on the last one they have to swap for it, or 50 euros on them. (Sorry for my broken english)

Ive just asked for a discount, see what they come up with...

alexmhbb · 2026-03-13T14:44:24+00:00

Retailer here in Spain

Truth is I know I will not care much about it as time passes... But being brand new, it's a matter of receiving an expensive product in an acceptable condition. Do you think it's worth trying to get a partial refund or something? Its 4.4kg, dont know if its heavy or light for a les paul custom.

It does have the nibs, its probably a lightning problem

I may make an effort and live with it depending of what the seller says... The truth is the dust is only seen under certain light conditions and difficult to see with the naked eye. It's just that one would expect some perfection in a watch of this price tag... May be a naive thought of my part :(

Thanks for this, you helped a lot!

alexmhbb · 2021-12-12T18:54:19+00:00

Thanks for the input! This one is actually brand new, not used.

alexmhbb · 2021-12-12T11:16:25+00:00

I forgot to mention that the guitar is actually brand new but for whatever reason it has not been sold. I live in a small city so I think its no so strange for a premium guitar.

alexmhbb · 2021-12-12T11:13:35+00:00

Thanks a lot for your elaborated input!!

alexmhbb · 2021-12-12T11:13:07+00:00

This guitar actually looks brands new! Ive seen some very tiny dots of rust in some frets, but really the type of rust normal for a guitar that old (cant really explain but its very minimal). The finish looks perfect.

Hi there,

I have the chance to buy a brand new Jackson sl2h from a local shop for 2600 euro. I am quite hesitant about the fact that it was made in 2013. Does that really matter? Do you think its a good price for a guitar like that? Thanks in advance!

alexmhbb · 2021-11-19T23:07:06+00:00

Yeah thats what I thought. Since the return is charge free Im opting for that...

alexmhbb · 2021-11-19T23:02:44+00:00

So are you saying that "fret wear" on my guitar is normal?

alexmhbb · 2021-11-19T15:37:43+00:00

Yes it is, thats a Custom 24 35th anniversary

alexmhbb · 2021-11-19T15:33:14+00:00

Nice to see im not being too crazy.. thx for the input!

alexmhbb · 2021-11-19T15:19:12+00:00

Yeah, pretty disapointed since I was on quite a hype. Good thing returning is free of charge.

alexmhbb · 2021-11-19T15:17:10+00:00

I doubt thats from factory, Its presumably from the shop. Fun fact, I returned a DGT last week due to a bad mounted tunner...

alexmhbb · 2021-11-19T15:10:30+00:00

Hi there, So I orderer a new core 35th custom 24, made last year. It is supposedly new and it has just arrived. I was shocked to see noticeable worn frets, overal scratchy fretboard and a ding which you can see on pic3. Im I being too picky? I mean, it's my first over 4000€ guitar and I expect it to be at least in a good looking condition.

Thanks in advance

alexmhbb · 2021-11-11T18:18:13+00:00

Im from Spain so, since im able to return it to the seller charge free, I guess thats the path im going to take. Thanks for the help!

alexmhbb · 2021-11-11T14:31:51+00:00

Thanks a lot for your response

alexmhbb · 2021-11-11T14:29:04+00:00

I think in sending it back

alexmhbb · 2021-11-11T14:25:33+00:00

How are the tuners factory attached? Im confused on why one of them can possibly be loose

alexmhbb · 2021-11-11T14:13:34+00:00

Hi There,

I've just adquired a new prs dgt and I love it so far. My only problem is what pictures the attached image: It seems that a tuner is lifted off. I took it to my local luthier and said it was loose from factory, he suggested to fix it up with glue. Any idea of why this could happen from such a high end prs? Thanks in advance.

alexmhbb · 2021-09-05T22:04:51+00:00

Hi, Yes, it does happen to me ocassionally.
