I felt inclined to add this; I lived in Austin back in the late 90's I bought an SRV Strat brand new...this guitar sounded amazing and played great, but there was just one little thing that bugged the hell outta me, when I strummed in open chords and the G string was not fretted it would give off this gawd awful harmonic type sound. The guitar went back and forth to the shop and nobody could figure it out, Tom the guitar tech finally called Fender and got on the horn with a master luthier there and it still could not get fixed...finally Tom called Jimmie Vaughan and got him involved in it...I finally gave up after about 4 months and got a different guitar.

Long story short, all makers are going to have issues, what seperates them is their willingness to rectify the issue. Lets see if Gibson owns up to the appearant Slash issue and fixes the problems for the people that already bought.
