Members rock-lobster Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 dude, i think that pic is photoshopped. on the bass side, where the burst meets the inner finish? anyways, i won 2,500 bucks at bingo and was gonna spend it on one of these, but lo and behold, my dad took the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aenemated Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 me too d00d, they could be as good as a VOS! maybe! to be honest though; i played a traditional last weekend and i gotta say - that was a DAMN fine guitar. looked, felt and sounded amazing. but before i pull the trigger on my next LP, i wanna try these new standards.

Members Brian May Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 I want the option of weight relieved or not.I have an 06 Standard that's chambered. I like it. Sounds and plays great.I just like Les Pauls heavy:idk: Yeah I agree....as you have the option of 50's or 60's neck profile they should also offer the option of chambered or unchambered so the buyer can choose their own preference...and it would be good also to be able to A/B them together in a store to see how much (if any) they sound different. Me, I got a 2006 LP Standard in Ice Tea w/50's neck and its great...these I think have the swiss cheese weight relief holes in them. Anyways it weighs in at over 9lbs!! Feels good, and to me at least sounds like a LP should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zendin Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 What kind of a friend would do that? I'd never take $300 from my friends for no good reason. Right? 75% markup - that's one helluva friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xoeo Posted July 21, 2008 Members Share Posted July 21, 2008 Right? 75% markup - that's one helluva friend! It is actually I who had offered to pay him to hook me up.He has to go through some trouble to get it and its risky.I was planning on buying one anyways so why not pay 700$That is still a huge discount.

Members Puppetyr Posted July 22, 2008 Members Share Posted July 22, 2008 Wow, they finally got rid of those godawful plastic tuners. The plek job is a big plus too. I still have no interest in owning a LP, but it's good to see Gibson making some real improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members docjeffrey Posted July 27, 2008 Members Share Posted July 27, 2008 I know it is slightly delusional to think that they listen to customers but by introducing the plek system and new tuners I think they may have actually done it. We will see how these turn out. The Plek has got to cut down on the cost of making the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
