Why does Gibson feel the need to tell us what time of glue they are using?
Which glues has a better tone? Flanklin or Elmers?

I'd like to see what kind of tone they'd get out of Gorilla Glue or JB Weld, personally.
Ya know what, maybe I need another cup of coffee, but screw discussions about Gibson on this forum.
Not even 6 months ago a few members as well as members of the public vehemently attacked Gibson for "being so cruel to animals by still using hide glue". Never mind that it´s still the industry standary for many applications, but Gibson actually listened and quit.
Now they merely publish which glue they´re using so as to clearly state "We´re no longer using the bones of the animal you ate last week to build your guitar, as per your wishes."
And the public reaction (who would ever expect less from our wonderfully informed populace): "**** you!! We don´t care what glue you use {Oh really???}, you´re probably just trying to screw us over somehow else."
And yet people still wonder why I and many others no longer build instruments for anybody but ourselves and are perfectly happy with that...![]()
Thanks for the explanation. I wondered why Gibson mentioned what glue they used too. My apologies for not having heard anything about the hide glue controversy thing until now. Thanks for bringing the rest of us who don't have quite as much time on our hands to hang out on internet forums following that sort of thing up to speed in such a courteous and considerate manner.Not even 6 months ago a few members as well as members of the public vehemently attacked Gibson for "being so cruel to animals by still using hide glue".
