Hi,
I’ve been lucky enough to find a brand new Les Paul Classic Antique in a shop about a month ago. The guitar is fitted with the 57 & 57 plus pickups and was built in 2008.
After first seeing it I went to other dealers and tried several different models, Studio’s, Standards and Traditional but none of them were a patch on the Classic. I rushed back to the original shop (who were getting rid of their Gibson stock due to ceasing to be a Gibson dealer, the guitar was in a sale) and thankfully it was still available.
Now I can’t think of another guitar that I would swap it for!
