Let's get this straight; this isn't a campaign to bring down any manufacturer brand name but it's a necessary highlight. At the end of it all, I'm alright with the anomaly as I value the instrument in whole more than the fault in part.
My recently received Gibson Les Paul Jr Special is an impressive guitar but one of its strap buttons seems to be the blight to perfection. As you can see here, the button caved into its cavity rendering it useless as hardly any strap material could reside in that space. But hey, this is easily fixed- just replace this puny button with a larger counterpart, especially one with a bigger screw diameter. No sweat.
But the real issue here is, how did this accident get past the Gibson QC chaps? We could all agree to the fact that a name like 'Gibson' would have paid more attention in this department, we all have very high expectations from Gibson, don't we? Maybe models in a certain offering don't get that much scrutiny in terms of QC, hope it's not the case with Gibson.
