Members paulisme Posted February 21, 2010 Members Share Posted February 21, 2010 Having finally convinced my wife I needed a Les Paul, I took a trip to the local Guitar Center where I happened upon this beauty. I took one look and had to have it. It's a Les Paul Classic Antique and was Guitar of the Week for week 33 of 2007. This one feels like it was made just for me: satin finish, thin neck, light chambered body, and interesting quirks like a mahogany top and vintage Gibson logo. I've never seen another guitar like it, which is probably because there's only 400 of them in the world. It plays like a dream. You can find the specs here: http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Divisions/Gibson%20USA/Guitar%20of%20the%20Week/LP_Classic_Antique_M_Wk33/ And of course, here are some pictures. I think it looks way better than the one on the Gibson web site. It's just stunning. Check out the incredible mahogany grain (those are not the original knobs; there were some ugly aftermarket black knobs on it, so the salesperson swapped them out for some classic Gibson-type gold knobs): And the vintage Gibson logo on the headstock: In its case: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
