Gibson SG-12 string

**Victory Pete** · 02-06-2012

I play "Classic Rock" but my influences vary from John Denver to Black Sabbath. I was fed up with Gibson in the 90's, I had a lot of problems with them. But in 2001 I bought a Les Paul Classic that was flawless. I now have 6 Gibsons that are just as nice. I could not get use to the Ricks neck, too narrow. I dont like the octave strings being second of the pair. Restringing was a nightmare with the fragile tailpiece. It felt uncomfortable to play. I dont like the conversion varnish they use, impossible to touch up dents properly. It also sounded just too bright. The only thing I liked about the Rick was its heritage.

Well, that's interesting. Haven't been a fan of gibsons recently to be honest. Like you said VP^ had a lot of problems with them and know people who have absolute horror stories.

Nonetheless cool guitar.

Yes they may be going downhill again like the 90's.
