Antonio C Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hello, I can't find information about 120th Anniversary Les Paul Traditional model, it has a 120 logo on fretboard but the body colour seems to be different from that model, attached a picture, but I don't understand the model number on the Gibson Certificate, can you help me ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hmm well the pics on their official site really arnt that great but looks like a Heritage Cherry Sunburst.. (edit probably is a honey burst looking again) Check the official page for the 2014s... http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2014/Les-Paul-Traditional.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1all's Pub Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 All 2014 Gibson LPs (with a few rare exceptions) have the 120th Anny logo at the 12th fret. It doesn't meant that it's any special "anniversary" model specifically. There was special 2014 120th Anny Traditional Flame Top that could be had with a super flamey top. But your guitar doesn't look like one of those. It looks like a regular 2014 LP Traditional. And according to to the model number it's a Honey Burst (in 2014 the Honey Bursts were indeed darker and can appear somewhat reddish in pics, but more brownish in person). Google "gibson lptd14hych1" and you'll find all kinds of references to 2014 Trads in Honey Burst. That's why it looks different from the 2014 120th Anny Trad Flame Top (which was only available in Heritage Cherry)... because it's not one of those. It's a regular 2014 Honey Burst Trad.

pippy Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 There was special 2014 120th Anny Traditional Flame Top......but your guitar...is not one of those. It's a regular 2014 Honey Burst Trad. This. Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hmm im wrong again... Looked to reddy for a honey burst... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 It does look far too red for a HoneyBurst. But neither does it look red enough for a regular HCSB. Nor does it look like an Iced Tea; a Bourbon Burst; a Sunrise Tea Burst...... Perhaps there's a paint code in a p'up cavity? Does it really matter? I'm not sure of the point of confusion here. It seems to ba a regular run-of-the-mill 2014 Trad "in a tasteful 'burst". What else does the OP want to know? It's been a long day. I might have missed something really important. I'll check in again tomorrow.... Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1all's Pub Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I *almost* bought a 2014 Trad in Honey Burst about a year and a half ago. One of the things I liked about it was that it had an ever so slight reddish tint to it in the right light (and especially when pics were taken of it)... this is 2014 Honey Burst... no doubt about it.
