Well that's good. The strings aren't the same size. There's bigger and smaller.I told you what the discrepancies are, inconsistent slot depth.

I noticed there wasn't any signature. I was looking for that too. Imagine my disappointment.
I can only comment on what you post. You are bitching about the Gibson PLEK job particularly the bridge slotting. You allege that Customer Representative Roger Ball of Nashville told you the bridge was PLEKed. I have provided evidence that refuted that. One of you is dissembling.
Why yes as a matter of fact I do. I have two pre-PLEK LPs that are thirty and forty years old. They have been set up by pros and play very well indeed. I also have two post-PLEK Custom Shop guitars; a 2008 R4 and a 2011 ES-359 that play beautifully. As well I have a 2011 Gibson USA SG that was set up horribly when I bought it new. I did my own set up on it and it plays great now.I have 5 Gibsons that were not PLEKed, never had to tweak a thing except the trussrod and intonation, now I get 2 SG-12 strings with terrible action and buzzing strings. Maybe I am "Biased" but I dont think the PLEK system at Gibson is good. Do you have any experience with Gibson guitars pre and post PLEK?
No thank you!

Depends where you buy them. Private sales; fleabay, Craigslist, you take a chance. Get lots of pics first and know what you're buying. Retailers - no problem. The only ones I deal with have good return policies.This thread is why I buy my guitars from a local shop. If I ever buy online I'm going to make sure they accept returns at least until the warranty runs out.
A good quality guitar can be brought from shit to great with a good set up.
Of course...Pristine 1980 vintage SG2000s do not come up that often.
