The Gibson Snap-o-Matic ™ headstock is a feature, not a fault.
It's a really odd one to persist with - it's got the great benefits of being both much weaker and more expensive in materials to make.
Unfortunately Gibson is hostage to the cork-sniffing purists on this matter. It was a crap design that should have been iterated out, but wasn’t, and now they’re stuck with it.
