  1. Straight off the Gibson website,

    "We felt compelled to settle as the costs of proving our case at trial would have cost millions of dollars and taken a very long time to resolve. This allows us to get back to the business of making guitars. An important part of the settlement is that we are getting back the materials seized in a second armed raid on our factories and we have formal acknowledgement that we can continue to source rosewood and ebony fingerboards from India, as we have done for many decades."

  2. Hi guys,

    I thought I read somewhere that neck angles are ergonomically better,

    Measuring 6 guitars without TOMs only half of them have neck angles, they are all fairly modern (presumably) CNC built guitars so the manufactures would have made a choice to have no neck angle.

    I've drawn up a neck through guitar with ABM single string bridges and they do not need a neck angle (in fact the ABMs are so low that I would have to thin the fretboard just to add a neck angle).

    So is there any ergonomic reason to add a neck angle or will it make the guitar play any better?

    Cheers

  3. Does anyone know of any really good thorough modern guitar electronics books? (preferably one that takes you from a complete beginner all the way to advanced stuff).

    Would also be nice to have sections on pedals, what components and circuits are creating what effects and how (may be even amp stuff, but not important).

    This book seems to be the best I've found so far, but various reviews have stated it as being very outdated, has anyone read it?
