: : I have a MANN Les Paul Copy....... : I had bought it in 1977 Brand New..... : I had he same problems with it as you mentioned.... : I changed the hardware after the first weak,,,, : GOTOH Tuning Pegs, new bridges, dimarzio humbuckers....changed everything that came in contact with strings..... : Put a new 6 hole plate for mounting neck and expoxy glued the neck to body to make it more solid......I adjusted the neck to improve string clearance and playability...... : stinged it up and I have played it live ever since......I'm an old man now...and it never goes out of tune and sounds great..... : After the upgrades it was still a very in-expensive Guitar as I could not afford a Gibson (new or used) at the time....I since have collected many guitars(Gibsons, fender, Peavy, Ibanez, Takamine, etc)....and I am still happy with the Mann....... : IT was a great project to fix it up and got me what I wanted.... : but you are right, off the shelf brand new they didn't stay in tune because of the tuning pegs, bridge hardware and sloppy neck mounting....A little precise adjustments and hardware change and you can be playing a reliable instrument..... : BNP : : Let me tell ya, I got a MANN Gibson Rip off Electric off a buddy of mine was thinking of trading another guitar i have for it....It constantly goes out of tune! But does Play nice. The Hardware looks cheap and i fear for anyones life as a musician that owns one. Needless to say they stoped making them for a good reason.
