And I will offer this as a peace offering to the original poster;
I have NEVER played a Bartlett that was not completely outstanding!
I am SHOCKED he is still doing the headstock that way.
He has NO NEED to do it.
He WAS well respected.
I would have bought one. (Came VERY close on 2 Retrospec's)
Not now.
I liked and appreciated this post
I've thought a LOT about this stuff over the last few days
I have a different appreciation for the full on replicas
I think what has altered my thoughts a little is thinking about guys like TW and F-Hole who really live in the world of real vintage Gibsons and how these replicas can really F up- pardon the pun things-- muddy the waters
I think if I made my own guitars and slapped a gibson logo on the top perhaps that would be ok w me in a wink wink moment, destruct guitar upon my death
I feel less ok buying one now
and I am happy my Gil's have a smooth headstock and say Gilyaron on it.... yea it says les paul model but there is no mistaking--- its different enough but same enough for ME
