Johnny Seven Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 It made me want one I snagged this one for a great price at the Musicians Friend Black Friday sale. I see these 2013 Alpine White Studios are still out there at various on-line dealers. Maybe you can still catch a deal on one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaygl Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 My new 2014 Les Paul Classic Lemon Burst. Nice punch and crunch out of her 57's and beautiful to look at..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaygl Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Sort of a plain top isnt it? First one I seen that was. Very cool ones , the OCD in me always wants to fix the tone knob. Yes it is a plain top....that's what I like about it. Not into too much flame, so it was a nice find for me as I have been on the lookout for a nice plain top for awhile. Is the boost adjustable or only set at 15db? I've seen the mod you did D Ray....sweet. I may end up doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaygl Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Being from the late 70s and early 80s I to like Plain Tops. We just dont see them much anymore I registered my first Les Paul Classic in maybe 98? Back then we were still mailing in the registration. Mine was a plain top cherry sunburst. They only had four left when I went up there to get one, they had some honey burst and vintage burst but when I went back with money they only had four Cherry Sunbursts left, all Plain Tops. I liked them because they seemed more right to me. They had ABR-1 bridges like my first Plain Top had, a tobacco sunburst early 70s Standard. Damn!!! That's a nice one d ray....

Johnny Seven Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Snap! My granadillo is a fair bit lighter than yours however: Yes, it is - or "was" - I should say.. I had to return mine because when I took it in to my tech for a setup, he promptly told me that the nut was so badly cut that he would have to remove it and put a new nut in - and that he couldn't guarantee it would ever look the same with the paint in that area. He also told me that the frets were very uneven - and that it badly needed a fret job. (I trust this long-time tech of mine, by the way..) So, back it went. And unfortunately, MF couldn't exchange it for a different one because they were all out of the Alpine White ones (as well as the ebony), so I just returned it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Seven Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 That's a shame buddy :( Makes you wonder how it got through QC with flaws as major as that :( Yeah, it really bummed me out when my tech told me that. I knew the guitar had a problem with the A and low E strings buzzing, but I just assumed it was a minor setup problem - or that those particular nut slots needed filing down a tad or something like that.. But my tech told me different. The frets were all uneven as well, evidently, and the guitar badly needed a fret job. My tech was surprised that the guitar even left the factory in the condition it was in. Gibson QC seems to be slipping quite a bit lately..
