Flickoflash - first time I've seen this. Where does the transitional tenon ('69) fit into this?

NB. an all solid white color model is not available.

I used to think so too. I first felt cheated in some way. But my Std. does not sound "worse" now that I know about its construction, nor did it lose a bunch of tone when I got my Historic.curt1lp said:...had I seen that picture of the rocker joint I probably would not have bought my Gibby as I feel its an insult.

It still languishes in its case (along w/my R7- I'm busy w/my CS-336!).
Seriously, though; my Std is a great guitar & I've never been unhappy w/it other than p'up or knobs- stuff I could change. But when I got my 1st Historic it was like putting on a pair of glasses I never knew I needed!

Yeah, that's what I keep asking, but no answer makes sense. Perhaps Gibson should consult every other guitar maker in the world for a solution, since they don't seem to have a problem using a flat bottom tenon.bigbluedog said:Also with the "rocker neck,don't the sides still need to fit well?

Long neck tenon = vibration ?
What about a Firebird the neck is longitudinal neck no interruption with a tenon joint . I really don't think my Les paul's vibrate Less than my Firebird 's This tenon thing IMO is BS .
Naw, this is BS. It's not just how you think some simply vibrates, it is the noticeable tonal effect between a rocker tenon and tight mortise/tenon like a long tenon. A multilaminate firebird neck does not have the same tone effect.
Your just plain wrong Big Al trust me I know a lot more than you do , you also just tipped your knowledge cards with your post !Naw, this is BS.
