1991 Gibson Les Paul ˜Classic https://houston.craigslist.org/msg/d/ho ... 11627.html$1300 firm / no trades at this timeNot interested in shipping at this time. If you re in the Houston / Austin area come get yourself a great deal on one heck of a player. Virtually everything has been substantially upgraded over the years on this one.Dunno the exact weight but it s under 10lbs.Lots of genuine players wear and checking.Refretted about two years ago with jumbos. Plenty of life left.Pickups alone are worth $300!

The fuck is a nibs, is that like burnt ends at the bbq place.

So happy you said œtons of vibe and not œmojo . But if it doesn t sell immediately at that price, you should edit the posting and bump the price to $1600.

Can t spell œmojo without œnibs

Would not see Mojo Nibs and The Refrets

Gibson people will go batshit over that. Even though it probably plays a little better as a result...

Yeah I know. I was just pointing out that people are going to haggle over it. You know how Gibson people get about stupid shit.This is why my vintage Gibson is heavily modified. I know it just pisses boomers right off.

Phantom Nibs.

Back in the day, it was faster and cheaper to cut the frets to the width of the board, cover it all with binding, then route it all flush to the frets and file the nibs to a triangular shape. When a Gibson gets re-fretted, keeping the nibs is more trouble than it's worth, so they generally get shaved off. These days, most builders just have the frets go over the binding a little bit, but Gibson has that "tradition" problem. They tried fret-over-edge binding for a few years - I think between 2014 and like 2016 - and people lost their fucking minds and called it the worst thing to even happen to Gibson guitars.So, even though strings have a tendency to get caught between the fret and the nibs, Gibson people go apeshit if they're missing because "mojo." It's really no big deal, and I was just being a little cheeky in implying that anyone who'd pay extra if he said "mojo" would claim they need the nibs for "toan" and would try to haggle down. It's satire... but barely.Every Gibson I own has been refretted. I always buy used guitars that are beaters and fix them up.I think this might be why I am not fond of ˜the nibs . Just never made any sense to me why they d make them like that.
