charlie brown Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hi All, Well, after 5 years, of no "new," or even used, Gibson Les Paul guitars, I finally bit the bullet, again, and bought this little beauty (to me, anyway), and received it, this afternoon. It's "Flawless!" Both in fit and finish, but also in set up, right out of the case. Plugged her in, and WOW!!!..."Old School" (That's ME ) tone and sustain, to die for! GREAT JOB, Gibson!!! Couldn't be happier, at this point! Cheers, CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 In case you didn't know that's not an SG. I KNEW, there was something "different" about it! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Very nice! There's a bit of Gold Top fever going round! How's your Epi LP Custom with the P90s CB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Very nice! There's a bit of Gold Top fever going round! How's your Epi LP Custom with the P90s CB? It's outstanding, as well! Just couldn't resist (any longer) a Gibby Gold Top, LP with P-90's! Can't afford a Custom Shop R6, so this was the next best thing, that was within my budget! And, as I stated, I couldn't be happier, with it! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Thanks, ALL! It's all I had hoped for, and then some! I've had it in my hands, for 3 hours, now (only stopping to eat, or use the restroom), so, that's a great sign, to me! And, though I love my '57's, I've always loved P-90's, as well!

tx-ogre Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Very nice. All these recent NGD postings with LP Goldtops has me feeling like one of Pavlov's dogs after hearing the bell ring (salivating). Especially with the P90s. Doesn't get any better than that. Congrats and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelDeVille Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 That’s one of the few non-sg’s I would consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 ...Can't afford a Custom Shop R6, so this was the next best thing... I've been ogling those myself an awful lot recently and with the same reasoning you mention. Stunning guitar. Delighted to hear it was perfect right out of the box too! Play Long and Prosper CB! Pip.

MichaelT Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 That's awesome. I know what you mean about that guitar. I got mine at Sweetwater this summer and absolutely love that guitar. It's a Goldtop with P90's as well. I played it all night after getting it and for the next week or two, much to the dismay of my other guitars. How heavy is yours? Mine's a brute at right at 11 pounds. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard McCoy Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I really liked the 2018 Classics because of the gold top/P-90 combo, which you rarely see these days with newly issued or reissued models. The P-90s also made it easier to justify buying "another" Les Paul. Apparently, though, the 2018 Classics failed in overall sales (worst performing model and year according to UK-based Andertons). Gibson went back to non-P-90s for the 2019 lineup. The red LP with P-90s above looks stunning as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Apparently, though, the 2018 Classics failed in overall sales (worst performing model and year according to UK-based Andertons). Good, that means a price drop soon! A black one would be cool too and I definitely like the red one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Nice choice, Charlie Brown! How does it sound compared to your Les Paul Specials? I believe you have both single and double cutaway? I noticed quite a difference between my cheapie faded Double Cutaway (sounded really good) and my SG Classic and LP Special w/ ebony fret board (limited edition). Neither one sounded as good as the cheapie faded although they were both a bit more upscale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 It's Gold Fever!!! Very nice. I don't have anything with P90s so that's something I'll get around to one of these days. I still remember your black Epi Custom.which is really nice too. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
