Are Gibson's circuit boards are inferior in any way?
Presumably the economics must add up enough for Gibson to use them, but it does seem a rather unnecessary step given that the wiring loom in a traditional Les Paul isn't exactly complicated in the first place... and I still wonder if it was another Henry change imposed to be deliberately "modern".

Find it very hard to believe.

I see some posts trying to explain it, that's all.

To go on a slight tangent, while I was trying to sell it I bought a Bernie Marsden on credit thinking that I'll just pay it off as soon as the Les Paul sells but then I first decided it was too much hassle trying to sell a guitar at that point and, later, grew to absolutely love the Gibson as a "top 2" guitar. Now I wish I never bought the PRS and am considering selling that!
But, back on point, I thought the only downside of the PCBs were their incompatibility with aftermarket pickups, didn't realise they were fragile and definitely didn't think they'd affect the sound!
This was two or three years ago, so probably only concerns second hand instruments now,
