Rabs Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Beautiful ! , I like them both, but the Traditional Flame I think I like a bit more. Interestingly (for the first time I think) they have given an indication as to what to expect from the different grade tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karloff Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Interestingly (for the first time I think) they have given an indication as to what to expect from the different grade tops whew ! $3600 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Actually this is a slightly better look :) AA AAA AAA+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 And the Standard A+ AA AAA (that's sure is perrdy, but soooo expensive for that extra flame) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 So these come without factory-mounted pickguard? Would have wished that for my nice AA Traditional 2013, too. :( On the other hand, I like the 50's neck, and my 2013 model was significantly cheaper. :) The Traditional Light might be the option for those who missed the Custom Light last year. In case one dislikes the mini switch and wants a second tone control, one could switch to using a push/pull pot instead for creating more traditional looks, or two (or three or four) for adding even further versatility.

capmaster Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The 12th fret marker's a deal-breaker for me. Keep it simple and pure. Otherwise, beautiful guitars indeed. EE Wouldn't mind the fret marker but still replace the new strap knobs with Schaller locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btoth76 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Finally! Trad with 60`s neck! Donny, isn`t that`s what You were asking Gibson for? ;) '59 pickups, 500K pots too... ...You are lucky in the US. It's priced correctly. Imagine how much it will cost here in Europe. Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Crikey. IMO those particular tops and finishes range from 'Meh' to 'Unbelievably Hideous'. Obviously there will be others in the range whose looks I'd find more attractive but, still, there are more things about those guitars' specs that I don't like than I do like. Each to his/her own, of course. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
