Although not officially a Gibson, the Epiphone Elitist is related somewhat, beautifully made and worth a mention. Play nice too!

Gibson Thin line Guitar Models

Oh I don't disagree with you there. Very true. When it comes to the law of diminishing returns and engineered inexactitude, frets are an area where the amount of time to "get it just right" for a...

Mr Wu / Yunzhi / Ms Lora

The question is not so much "does it affect" but "does it have to affect and can you predict how". I don't see why you'd care about what an e-guitar builder thinks as long as there's no formal answer...

Rosewood vs Maple fretboard head to head - There's a difference

Don Cherry on Lennie Tristano

JGO Virtual 'Bluez' Jam (Round 2) - Misterioso

Agree completely. The luthier (or whatever he is) seems to have messed up just about everything he has touched - bridge, scratches on the guitar body, pickup height, nut slot height.

Birk's Works is a bit more of a challenge. Interesting changes. Might be better, actually. Fm - Gø/C7 - Fm - Cø/F7 Bbm7 - % - Fm - % Abm7/Db9 - Gø/C7 - Fm - %

JGO Virtual 'Bluez' Jam (Round 2) - Misterioso

Regarding string-through-body: Fender Telecasters made in 1958 ARE NOT string-through. Jim Campilongo famously plays one.

Once you've got the head out the way it's just a Gm blues.
