Re: Gibson F9 neck reset and total overhaul
Adrian, I would like to thank you for a very informative an eye opening series of posts. At one point I considered purchasing an F9 that displayed that same line between the back button and the neck. I was told by the store I was not a problem, but for me it was a red flag. I believed at the time it was the beginnings of a failing neck joint so I did not purchase it. Your post confirms that my suspicions were right. After seeing all of these details of construction that you reveal I would be wary of purchasing any F9. If the left that one out the door, how many more similarly flawed instruments are out there?
