This changes everything. Cats are evil!
 
It seems that as bad as the Gibson headstock angle and truss rod position are for headstock breakage potential, the way in which people try to repair them is far, far worse.
 
Yep, you are correct. I grabbed a pic of the older cloud 9 series guitars with the crappy tenon, rather than the long top loaded tenon of the 2008.5 standard. I read somewhere that Gibson has stopped using this tenon and went back to the crappy rocker joint short tenon. :messedup:

I know chambering isn't popular, but my LP sounds like angels humping in heaven.

Actually, Gibson is using a long neck tenon now on all Standards and Studios:

The Traditionals and other USA models still use the rocker joint.

Interesting. I guess they partially learned to use a long tenon. I'm amazed they still use the rocker joint. Toan is in the titebond, I guess. They should have just kept using the top loaded long tenon.
