Members docjeffrey Posted June 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2010 Agreed. I like binding. But, the binding is gonna cost you an extra $3000. For a couple of Benjamins, somebody could install binding for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck, I think it has binding - http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Studio-50s-Tribute.aspx. Now I am regretting my Epi '56 reissue purchase..... maybe the Worn goldtop finish looks like crap as compared to a regular goldtop finish? FUck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

I know it doesn't make it play any better. I guess I just want future fretwork to be more difficult." Dude, it's common knowledge that a particular formulation of vinyl binding used on guitars in the 1950's (and currently used on all Gibson CS guitars) creates even order harmonics. But the plastic molecules have to be aligned correctly or you get odd order harmonics. Just take it from this guy. He knows everything: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I think I mentioned in one of the previous threads about these things...it's about time. Gibson has needed to make a move into this price point with a good guitar for a while and it's nice to see they are finally doing it. The whole $3K starter price for an LP that had quality issues and "you should feel honored just to have the name on the headstock" thing was just not working for them. That looks like a nice guitar (binding or not) and hopefully it will sound and play like one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mask off the edge of the maple before spraying the color coat. There are some better pics in some of the other dozen or so threads on this model. And remember...it's limited.

A Gibson LP Goldtop, with body (faux) binding and Trap inlays..... dammit where was this when I was looking a few months ago. My choices were an Epi at $500 or a Gibson at $2200+. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Members docjeffrey Posted June 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2010 ^^^Yep, a la PRS. I think they will be extremely popular. You might consider reserving one now if you want it before Christmas. On the other hand, if if comes out of the factory looking like crap... The shit economy is great for us guitar enthusiasts. Martin has a new 15 series all mahogany lineup that looks amazing with a real wood inlaid rosette--not a decal like the old ones. We are seeing these makers resort to Depression Era manufacturing, no frills, fair prices. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been accepting preorders since this model popped up in April. Amazon was for a while as well. I think they are making and shipping 720 of each color over 6 months to sell worldwide. So, I'm guessing some preorders won't be filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docjeffrey Posted June 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2010 You might want to consider the honeyburst finish. This is similar (Iced Tea), but it's an R4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
