When I picked it up today, it was broken, hence the tuning was completely fucked. I was playing it last night, put it back in the toaster rack guitar stand where it hasn't been touched since, picked it up today and the headstock was broken.
In hindsight: I think this has been happening for a while to this guitar. Most of my guitars get a setup once every 12-18 months. This was needing a setup once every 6 months or so. I guessed that it was just a sensitive guitar, but in hindsight, I bet the headstock has been moving bit by bit for a long time now.
It'd been getting a bit worse too. I bought new tuners (hadn't put them on yet) because it was struggling to stay in tune. I bet the tuners are fine, but the headstock had shifted to a spot where the strings weren't quite getting enough tension.
But obviously, said tension was enough.
I'm going to get it repaired and I know that after said repair, it should be better than what was done in the factory (Again, fuck you Gibson). It'd probably never happen again and it may even improve the guitar. However I'm pretty bummed about the whole thing. I mean...it's a Gibson Les Paul. It's meant to be the unfuckable guitar that kicks the shit out of everything else. It's not meant to be the guitar that commits hari-kiri. Sure I'd heard about Gibson QC, but you wouldn't think that a guitar worth 3-4000 bucks would break like that. Hell even if it DID get bumped (which I really doubt), it would have been a bump so minor that it didn't even register when it happened, thus it shouldn't have broken like that. It's obviously due to a shithouse design which by 2010 they should have fucking fixed right? Looking at all my other guitars (each is worth less than 1k), the headstock angle and join is completely different to the Les Paul. So if I can look at a guitar which was 1\4 of the price and visibly see better design choices? You can get fucked Gibson.
PLAN:
Step 1) Get it repaired. Then sell it (will advertise the broken headstock and provide pictures because I'm not a dick)
Step 2) There's an Australian Guitar Maker called Cilia guitars. He does awesome stuff. I still love the Les Paul shape and sound so I'm gonna get him to build me a Les Paul which has 1 Volume\Tone knob, no weight-relief bullshit holes in the body, pickups with suitable output, a proper headstock with a G-String that doesn't go out of tune...oh and one that has a fucking headstock attached to the rest of the fucking guitar would be pretty fucking sweet right about now.
That'll set me back about the price of a brand new Les Paul, but at least I'll have the guitar that a Gibson Les Paul should be. Reputation and cost factor included in said expectation.
