Enders Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hey guys! Was just wondering whether the Les Paul fadeds usually have one or two piece backs? Because I thought it was usually two piece but I just recently saw one with a one piece and I really checked to make sure it was one piece. There was no sign of it being a two piece. Is it rare or something? I'm not very experienced with fadeds so I hope someone can enlighten me. Also if I may ask, how are the standard fadeds compared to the standards in terms of quality and wood? I know it doesn't have the finish and all, any other differences besides look?

Guest Farnsbarns Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Usually 2+ pieces. Not that it makes any difference. I believe they are simply standards with a "faded" finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enders Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 I always thought one piece backs are always better for the sound. I thought if it was rare then it could be sold for a higher price and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone tells you otherwise, invite them to partake in a blind test at your local music shop and watch them squirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 . Some people find single piece backs/bodies more desirable, but that hardly ever translates into more value. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, haha, must have been my misconception cos people seem to always say one piece backs are 'better' and 'more solid'. Good idea about the blind test though. :D Some people find single piece backs/bodies more desirable, but that hardly ever translates into more value. Understood. Wouldn't make sense for it to be much more valuable, considering they're the same guitar. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
