What LP model is this?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys I'm new to the forum and could use your help identifying this LP I purchased off of Craigslist. The seller told me it is a Standard, but I'm not entirely sure. It does not have a truss rod cover or pick guard. The pickups are not original and the pots and knobs appear to have been replaced, at least I think they have. I do believe it is a legitimate LP but gutted.

 

I've emailed Gibson and they believe it is a Traditional Pro. The color and design match but there are some discrepancies. They are: tuners are Grover but not locking, pots are not push/pull, knobs are speed knobs and not top hat. As I already stated the pickups are not original. The following are pictures of the guitar I bought. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi to All,

 

this is my first post so I hope not to make mistakes (I thought it was not necessary to open a new topic)

 

I ask you for some help. I just bought a used Gibson Les Paul, which is supposed to be a Standard. I was wondering if you can help me identifying the exact model. Serial Number is: 102620482

 

Headstock back is printed with Made in USA 2012. Guitar is in very good conditions (except for a few scratch), the colour is Iced Tea, flamed top (I do not know if AA or different). It is perfectly tuned, it sounds ok. I really like it, it is my first Les Paul. It should be a chambered 2008 style Standard, although it has Gibson deluxe tuning instead on Grover's and it has not written Standard on the headstock.

 

I attached a few pictures to help.

 

Thanks anyway

Hello Sergio and welcome to the Forums!

 

I guess, Yours is a Traditional. If so, it's swiss-cheesed (traditional weight-relief).
