Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Mahogany Top TV Yellow

1. sound of the guitar good
2. string action very bad - had to be completely readjusted afterwards by a specialist
( this has to be checked by the guitar department before selling )
3. saddle made of plastic, hmmm - well, yes - is a very poor quality, because
a) the saddle was already damaged (broken) and was glued on by Gibson afterwards.
sorry, that's not possible - therefore I had to have a new saddle (bone) made.
have to make a new saddle
b) ABR Tune -o-matic ,Stoptail should be exchanged ,because ,the stringguide
is not 100 percent and the sound is also not as usual.
e.g. : ( overtones tilt , sustain is too short ) therefore a new Gibson ABRH bridge was
was applied
Cost after buying the guitar ; 200 € --for that the guitar sounds now really very good .
This unnecessary time expenditure to be spent afterwards and the above-mentioned additional cost note is not at all to be expected of the customer and must always be urgently controlled by the QM system of the music store to be adhered to, which unfortunately was not observed in my case.
Since most guitar players are not technicians, this article should give the management of the music store an impulse to be more careful in the future.
So guitarists, when buying this guitar, please check immediately what was criticized, so that you do not incur additional costs and you can use the instrument immediately, namely as it should be in principle.
