One of my pals over on the OLF had to pull a fingerboard from a brand new 2019 Gibson, and was surprised to find a RFID tracker sticker on the bottom of the board - and almost no glue.

I have to go with its a manufacturing inventory/tracking thing. Doesn't mean it isn't something else.Originally posted by Bad City

There's a quick reference to them in the new Factory tour video from Premier Guitar. I want to say it's only a few minutes in.

Re: Surprise from new Gibson
How have we gotten this far into a thread about Gibson changing something on their guitars without complaints that they've ruined the tone of the instrument? :PJoin me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Re: Surprise from new Gibson
If they used the minimum amount of glue needed, to be efficient, yet effective, they are cheap MFers.
If they used extra glue because they do it right +10% just to make sure, they are wasteful sloppy MFers.
Now - you have to REALLY work at it to become a company in that situation. So, no excuses there. But few people are legitimately critical of Gibson. Most area fanboys or haters.Originally posted by Bad City
