Rabs Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Im not buying a Robo-Guitar Im out. Yeah I don't really want that either... and watching their vid on it makes me want it even less.. the fact that you still have to fine tune each string means I could probably do it just as fast manually.

Rabs Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Not my thing man. I am interested in those LP Melody Makers.. No robot tuning.. wrap around bridge.. I like it :) If I ever get any money I may have to get one of those as I would in theory like a 120th anniversary model.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I think that LP MM would be a good modding/refinishing platform. Not one single p90 SG? Still no Pelham? They did away with the SG "Original?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 The SG "Original" is still on Gibson's web page. There is (as of yet) no indication, that it's discontinued. I, for one, sure hope they won't! Maybe add some color variations, but keep the "Cherry" one, as well. It's an awesome model!! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff-7 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Ah I see, my mind jumped to the conclusion that the new 2014 models were all there would be and that the Original and others of it's ilk would get the axe. Still pissed about color options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 can anyone tell if the melody maker is slab or carved top?? I thought slab looking at the yellow, but then I checked the midnight manhattan one and that looked carved......... NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im REALLY interested in one of these Actually it says this in the description Body: Thin profile body same as LP Custom Light Maple top / Mahogany back http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gibson-2014-les-paul-melody-maker-electric-guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Yes, I can't wait to try one. Been after a twin p90 model......and while the MM has a couple features that I'd probably swap out, for the price of it, I can upgrade anything, add a hard case and have a great little player for fairly short money.

cjsinla Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 But that's a Standard and it has the robot tuning. I also was wondering about if the SG Original is still being produced. I'm also assuming that the Derek Trucks model still has nibs. Does anyone know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil White Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm glad I got a 2013 at the blow out. I'm not a fan of the robot tuner or the perl tuning knobs. I love my chrome tuners. The minetune or whatever it 's called should be optional, not standard. I hope they revert back for 2015. I think I'd be ok with the robot stuff on an epiphone but I don't want lights, batteries, and buttons on my Gibson. That stuff is for a throw away guitar. If you want to solve problems then make a neck that won't break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I don't think the min-e-tune thing is standard on all the guitars. Where'd it say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 ...If you want to solve problems then make a neck that won't break... Gibson went a long way towards doing just that from late '68/'69 with the introduction of the neck-volute but you'll never guess what happened next! The Purists didn't like it so they went back to the original - weaker - design in the early '80s. "You Can Please Some of the People All of the Time..."...etc...etc... P.

buliwyf Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I always wanted a new Les Paul classic with the ceramic 500t and 496r pickups in it,I really loved the high gain/crunch those pickups have.They came from the factory in the gothic explorer and the gothic Vee I had and I put a used set I had in a used 80's LP and they all kicked serious butt.However now when I look up the 2014 lp classic they are listed as coming with 57 classics in them.I do like the 57 classics they are sweet and were the pickups someone put in a used 1969 LP I owned for a while sweet,sweet sounding pickups.But for the type of playing I do the ceramics were what I really was looking for in a classic I didnt even mind the green tinted fret markers.Oh well,BTW do we really need so many types of LP's to chose from.
