iluhaJC Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hello! I am the owner of the Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded 2010 year. Shall describe in detail the characteristics of: What sensors (model name)? What kind of guitar expensive series to put them? What bridge, including saddles (brand, alloy metal)? What alloy frets? What splitting? What is the reason of the cheaper models, but to the lack of paint and piping? May be excluded audit, inspection? Ask more precisely. What are the differences from the model Studio (without Faded)? Parameters can be specified in a table comparing the model STANDART Sorry for my bad english)))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with the specs, did you do a comparison at Gibsons sight from model to model? Some is an up charge for appointments, finish, binding, electronics. Pretty much as your saying, a faded is less labor thus slightly less expensive. That said, how do you like the Gibson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btoth76 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 thanks) What including saddles (brand, alloy metal)? What alloy frets? The bridge, with it`s saddles are made from Zamak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamak). It is produced by Advanced Plating Inc. The frets are steel alloy with cca. 18% of nickel-silver. (If I am not mistaken). Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The frets are steel alloy with cca. 18% of nickel-silver So you prefer stainless of just a different percentage of alloy combination? They are treated now also from my understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 no))) I'm from Russia, and my english is not cool) You guys don't like the Japan Yamahas or Ibanez? Whats the Russian made like model?

btoth76 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hello! I have Russian roots too, and spent years in Moscow. So, You can type in Russian too, but I can only reply in English, because I don't have a cyrillic keyboard. If that's easier for You. Zamak contains around 3% of copper, I guess it's enough to color it. If You want brass saddles, do as I did and replace the entire bridge unit with FABER ABRN-1 unit with iNsert studs. It's a huge improvement in articulation and sustain. The frets are very soft. The wear rather quickly. A couple of years of Gary Moore-ish bends and vibratoes and it's ready for levelling. Cheers...
