Gibson LP Vs PRS standard satin

Because you are making a big fuss out of it here.

Anyway, if you do read carefully:-

1) I never disagreed with you for all the points you mentioned
2) I only said to go easy on your opinions
3) To make opinions based on first hand experience

And you attack me based on these?

I am not saying your opinions are wrong about Gibson, but maybe it should have been more objective.

I doubt every single Gibson guitar out there is made like crap, because I still see a lot of people using them. And YES people do mod them afterwards to their own taste, which doesn't make it less worthy of what it is. Famous and probably everyone else mods their suff to their own liking.

If my posts in the other tread were that difficult to understand, and if you think its a personal attack on you. I really cannot see how it can lead to any constructive discussion.
 
haizz, why do we allow ourselves to become part of the statistic over never ending debate on gear, in internet gear forum. Are we too passionate over something thats supposed to bring joy or that passion and belief shall never cross path when human with emotions are involved?

Then, I highly suggest you to reread the entire thread, and take a look at who provoked who first. Read #114.

Here's a guideline on the approximate les paul QC.

It's true that not every single Gibson is made like crap, which is why I'm targetting the QC and not a particular Les Paul per se.

PatheinRaindropMoe, you're right =)

there are branches at keypoint centre (beach rd) lavender food square (lavender), & lorong sarina (telok kurau)

but i'm based at the main branch at ronghouse. i mean longhouse :D

L3stat, i know that stew mac makes a 5 way blade switch that emulates the switching of a PRS rotary. but i don't know of any 5 way rotary that emulates a strat 5 way (on paper at least) :(

Okay, thanks! I'm not asking for fun, thought about getting older PRS Swamp Ash Specials (3-way toggle), and converting them with the same switching like the 06 and laters (5-way blade), as a strat substitute, with very good humbucker tones. But oh well, if I want a strat, I should just buy a strat. Okay I'm not fueling the debate, this is just IMHO.

Wah lao... this thread still going on ah? very OT already lei...

Basic knowledge that I do hope people look out for when buying a guitar. Dried glue leaking out of neckjoint causing discolouration, badly crowned frets, incorrect neck angle causing bridge to be overly high, warped neck, gaps in binding, collasped bridge, nut slots cut too deeply, dried out fretboard etc. etc.

Then there are even more technical stuff I don't want to go into at this point of time yet which affects a guitar's playability.

The majority here spend their time playing guitar more than on tech work isn't it. I'm the reverse. So while I can't play guitar that well, I do have a decent pool of knowledge on the construction aspects of a guitar.

Also, you have given a couple of misleading advices on this forum which I failed to point out at that time:

"PICKUP TONES ARE INHERENT, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO TO THE HEIGHTS. IT'S GOT TO DO WITH THE NUMBER OF WINDS AROUND THE COILS, OUTPUT VOLTAGE LEVELS AND DC RESISTANCE. THERE IS NO WAY TO GET A LOW OUTPUT TONE FROM A HOT WOUND PICKUP."

The emf generated by the coils of a humbucker is not constant. The magnetic flux is denser closer to the pickups than further. A current will be induced when the magnetic flux linkage is cut, given by X = nbacos theta where b is the magnetic flux density. The magnetic flux density is the number of flux lines, or lines of magnetic force, per unit area. Since the lines are denser closer to the pickup, at a constant rate of cutting the magnetic flux linkage a higher current is expected to be induced and hence a larger output. Increase the height between the pickups and the strings and a lower current is generated hence a lower output since the same region now contains fewer lines of magnetic force ie. the area which the strings lie on top of now contains has a weaker magnetic flux density.

Therefore, by lowering the height of the pickups, output (current) is lowered. So yea there are some things which I do know more and there are also other things which you will know more than me.

Btw, if you think you do indeed know more than me on such matters as your post "Then I must admit, you know more than me, or anyone else here...*rolleyes*" indicates, feel free to share your knowledge, I'm always eager to learn.

wah... you go and dig for a post I made sometime back just to respond?:confused:
I've already admitted that you do indeed know more than me, and therefore there's nothing I can say that is worth your time to learn from.

Because I definately cannot tell if a guitar is well made by simply looking at it. I do need to play it.

You're absolutely right in whatever you say.

Yea I have to dig it up, if it doesn't appear here it would have appeared in that thread anyway, if not some new guy on forum mislead on the pickups how? I'll make a duplicate of my post and put it on that thread.

I would be very surprised if I am not right in what I say, as they represent the wisdom of several very respected gurus out there and their experience.

Yes I can gauge how well a guitar will play by looking at it, just like others can tell the difference in tone by using different guitar cables. Nothing strange about it. Do it enough times and you'll eventually get the hang of it. Eg. You know how a guitar with the top horn and the strap button parallel to the neck at the 13-14th fret will balance etc. etc.
