So I've heard many horror stories about the QC and overall lack of quality coming from Gibson nowadays. Not only heard, but have seen for myself some very low quality instruments coming from Gibson in the last five years or so.
I picked up and played a new $3000 les Paul in my local music shop about a year ago and played a chord and the high E string slipped off the nut. So I noticed the slot for the string wasn't even cut.
Im not trying to just start another Gibson bash thread. I'd like to know how many people would actually trust Gibson with they're hard earned money to build them a custom les Paul.
I almost have my car loan payed off. And have the ability to get another loan for about $5000-$6000. I wanted to use that to purchase a guitar to end all future expensive guitar purchases. I love the look and feel of a les paul. I have an esp eclipse 2 right now.
And after i get the frets recrowned im sure im going to love my eclipse. But im in a stalemate on wether to get an esp custom shop eclipse, or a custom shop gibson les paul.
Any opinions on my situation?
