Hey all I wanted to add to this thread a clarification in the model number letters. It may not mean much but, specifically the " N" in a model number. That stands for "New" not Nashville, at least for the 2013 run. Gibson does not need to designate Nashville as that's the only place of manufacture unless I am wrong?
Example: LPNSTDPLHSCH1 in lefty or LPNSTDPHSCH1 for right handed.
LP----Les Paul
N-----New
STD---Standard
L-----Left handed
P-----Premium plus top AAA
HS----Heritage Sunburst
CH---Chrome Hardware
1----First--not a second.
That's how mine should read...instead under the bridge pickup is just LPNSTDPL and under the neck is just HS. No CH or 1 to be found.
