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