Members genesis3 Posted March 28, 2013 Members Share Posted March 28, 2013 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gibson-les-paul-custom-lite $1499 I'd swap all gold hardware for chrome and put those worn chrome pickup covers on it, with that 'frosted' look...but then I dunno if I'd still like such a thin body on a LP...everything else about it is pretty cool but what is replacing the 4th speed knob??

Members genesis3 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2013 chambered, I think...much thinner than a typical LP too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jpnyc Posted March 28, 2013 Members Share Posted March 28, 2013 This ended up being a lot less expensive than I expected. I thought it would have a price more in line with, you know, a Les Paul custom. Depending on what they really weigh I might pick one up with a GC 15% off coupon. But probably nobody will buy these because the internet will light up with people freaking out because balsa isn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members genesis3 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2013 $1500 - $225 = $1275 with MF's 15% coupon ....tempting...Black is the one color on a Custom LP that is just so bad ass...classy yet killer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sic07 Posted March 28, 2013 Members Share Posted March 28, 2013 Oh my if I wasn't broke i would have bought one of those right now. I really don't care if the body is thinner nor chambered. The les paul i have is chambered and it sounds awesome. Though I think it will sound like the les paul i have since it has the same pickups but im gonna check it out.

Members Karma1 Posted March 28, 2013 Members Share Posted March 28, 2013 The ones with the balsa wood center were the Les Paul Studio Lites. I have one and its a great guitar. I don't think the original Custom Lite had that, but I could be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
