Gibson continually disparages those who use CNC equipment for precision fits, touting the excellence of their hand assembly. Too bad they couldn't correctly hand assemble the Dove I ran into this weekend.
Just a wonderful sounding guitar, until you checked intonation at the 12th fret. And I don't just mean the B string because the saddle wasn't compensated. Everything was off. That might be OK for the Epiphone Doves that go for an eight of the cost but not for an investment guitar.
