Gibson haters……..

I have nostalgia for this sorta-white SG, it was a good one:

Pink-lined brown case era. I sold it spur-of-the-moment to a friend. I'm certain I was drunk.
 
I’ll be an SG fanboy for life, but I can no longer deny that Strandberg is the alpha guitar now
 
Here are some of the things I’ve observed about Les Paul guitars after owning a custom and a ‘59 reissue and playing several throughout my life:

The 3x3 headstock looks cool but the design is dumb and begs for tension/binding issues at the nut.

90% of guitars come from the factory with a badly cut nut. 90% of luthiers don’t know how to cut a nut correctly.

The steep headstock angle is a poor design, as well as the lack of scarf-joint where the neck meets the headstock and the general lack of wood reinforcement.

Gibson’s customers are dumb for not only accepting these flaws but complaining when designs are changed to fix them.
90% of statistics posted on the internet are 100% made up.
