With all the talk about Guitar Center shipping disasters, I remembered this unboxing of a Les Paul Junior I got in October and figured it would be fun to share.
I noticed the box felt crazy light when it got to my door and found out why…Guitar Center put one single layer of bubble wrap around the guitar itself and then put it in the box. No case, no gig bag, not even a second inner box, just shipped the guitar as is without even tuning it down. I was worried there would be a headstock break or some surface damage…but to my surprise, not only was it intact and scratch free, the guitar was almost fully in tune! This is after it spent several days crossing multiple states in the cold!
For all the flack Gibson gets for their guitars supposedly going out of tune or a headstock snapping if you even look at it funny, I thought this video was a nice surprise. I also did a quick playing/tone demo in the second part of the video. More just sharing for fun because I was surprised by how robust and stable this LP Jr. was, maybe Gibson deserves a bit more credit. I now regret letting it go!
