I wish I hadn't read them because one guy talking about why he'd returned two and why he wouldn't buy Gibson as they've gone downhill talked about how the tuner pegs were badly fitted with a couple at sharp angles to the other,
I bought my first custom guitar which looks and plays beautifully a few weeks ago. £4000 near as dammit. I compare it to my £2000 Slash Vermillion signature guitar (which is not from the custom shop) and there's not a single fault on it. On the custom one of the tuning pegs is at a very sharp angle and out of line with all the others.
Now every time I look at the guitar I see a "bad" build job. If they can get it right on the mass-produced stuff why not the more expensive custom stuff? I wish I wasn't so OCD because I probably wouldn't have even noticed if I hadn't read several others complaining about the same thing.
