  1. Hey guys, last night i was checking the pots of my 76 LP Customer (couldnt find pictures) , and i didnt realize there are some letters on the base plate, im curious if they have some meaning, i looked for other 76 LPs on sale that showed the pots cavity but the ones i found didnt have letters

    This is the best picture i could take, it was dark and most of the letters show. It has "YR" on top, the "GB" and "OW" on the botton (that one doesnt show only the "O")

    hope someone can clear this mystery hehe

  2. It sucks, im not an Aerosmith fan, i like some old 80s songs, but that's about it, i think he makes a point with this:

     

    "" He argued the “artificial, made-up and undefined” requirement was “insulting and upsetting” because that no other member of the band has been asked to do it before. Singer Steven Tyler, guitarists Joe Perry and Bradley Whitford, and bassist Tom Hamilton have all been recently sidelined with injuries and illnesses and weren’t asked to re-audition for their jobs, Kramer noted in his suit. ""

     

    maybe they just want to kick him out and this is an excuse

    I'd just play it.  My '95 Dove has lacquer checking out the wazoo and has barely any lacquer left on the back of the neck. I don't notice it at all. Every time I pick it up, a new song falls out of it...I can forgive the flaws, because I know there are far more flaws on the skin of the hand that meets the neck than there are on the neck that meets the skin of the hand.

     

     

     

    Beautiful, you sir are a poet

    I have two Goldtops with P90's. The 2017 Tribute is Goldtoppy. The 2018 Classic is "Butterscotchy" because "he's a different color and smells like butterscotch" is what she said.

    So, the pickups are stock Gibson P90's. The Tribute has a printed circuit board and 9 hole weight relief. The Classic is hand wired and no weight relief and it's about 11 pounds. They sound very similar through an amp. Without an amp, Goldtoppy is brighter and louder, perhaps from the satin finish and lack of thicker and glossier nitrocellulose lacquer.

     

    im loving the names hehe....i can vouch for that, my 2017 tribute resonates even when unplugged, love it!

    Thank you. When I first got that guitar, my lovely lady kept calling it Goldtoppy. So, that name stuck. Last Christmas (2018) she got me the TRC made and it says Goldtoppy in the etching on it. It's one of my absolute favorite guitars. Plays the same as my Standard, has great tone and sustain. I was very happy to get a good case at a good price. Now all four Les Pauls have brown Gibson cases. Two are Gibson USA, the other two just say Gibson.

     

    Goldtoppy is so cute! like it. I named my 2017 gold top tribute  Duane after Duane Allman..that one doesnt have a hardcase, and my Norlin era black beauty has a generic one but i dont see myself spending $300 or more for an era correct one right now, maybe in the future, and also im not sure which one would be the correct, as i've seen several listings for Norlin LP's and they all have different cases and say its all orginal 😕

     

    do you have Goldtoppy with stock pick ups? or did you upgraded?

    Gibson Can do anything they want with it and maybe if we put enough pressure on to convince them to build a DC Pro with the new Headstock and a Goldtop. It would be enough to push me off the fence.

    The DC Pro is a bit different from Les Paul Standard DC, the body shape is different and the neck is joined at the 23 fret, the LP DC at 22nd fret. Its Sire the "Epiphone Del Rey", that the DC Pro is upgraded from, was introduced in 96 and the Del Rey most likely served as the inspiration for the Gibson Tak Matsumoto DC.

    i thought they were the same as the LP standard DC! my bad

  7. The GC i sometimes go to hasnt locked up the acoustics, honestly i've never seen anyone under 30 in the acoustic section, teenagers are always trying to shred on the electrics hehe

     

    ps. and also i did encounter some J45 standards with super old strings, i didnt ask but i did wonder why they didnt change them,,now i know

  8. Never heard of the "Education series", and i dont see how they would put the diamond thing on the headstock and dot inlays (instead of trapezoid or something else) and no neck binding... i dunno, i dont think its a real Gibson but that;s my opinion

  9. Dont have the specs but i think that color's name is Fireburst, maybe you can google around with the information you have if no one here comes up with the specs

    En effet , trés bonne impression pour cet instrument ,( ici on a énormément de type LP ou SG ). Cette guitare S 300 avec cette poupée est introuvable !

     

    Sorry for the confusion but i barely write French, took lessons for 2 years but that was  7 years ago i had no one to practice with, so i forgot most of it, i think im better off reading it than writing/speaking, hehe...yeah well, your guitar is not on the expensive side but i think its quite good, and i imagine you custom painted it (i have only seen them in black and red)

    its a nice color!

    Thanks for the replies.  Is there any chance that if I call Gibson/Epiphone that they might know if given the serial number?  I can certainly do that.

     

    I've never done that but its worth a shot to ask them! i would

    its looks beautiful

  12. Hello, i've played those when i used to take guitar lessons, they had one for the students, here in Mexico i've seen them for around $1500-$2000 pesos, which is like $75-$100 dollars

    the neck is very comfortable to play

     

  13. I would also keep my 2 LP's...if i really liked the R8 maybe, MAYBE i would try to sell mine and buy the R8 i would never trade them in at guitar "trade in" prices, for me you loose a lotta money doing that

    i have a R6 which is awesome, but my Deluxe/black beauty and other a traditional i had  are/were also awesome
