Kociamber Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi guys, I'd like to buy nice Gibson and I'm considering '92 SG Standard.. or 2003 LP Classic. The problem is that I do not know much about LPs. Are there any bad or good years for Classics? Do they have chambered bodies? Also it's quite cheap and I wonder is it original guitar at all. A lot of hi res pics can be found here: http://imageshack.com/i/f06xTJeHj (browse right) Cheers! K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kociamber Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Is there someone who could confirm that it's not a fake? I'm really interested in buying it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eracer_Team Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 don't like the "artistic" picture angles but the only thing I would question is intonation. look at the saddles on the bridge.. High E, B , G, D are pretty much flat straight across. can't say I've seen that often bring a tuner with you and check open to 12th fret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kociamber Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks, I will definitely check that. BTW, do Classics have chambered bodies? As far as I'm concerned they should not have "weight relief".. I hope I'm not wrong. I do not like chambers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy B Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I am not an expert but believe that year would be weight relieved with the Swiss cheese drilled cores and they switched to chambering in late 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 It will not be chambered but it will be weight-relieved. FYI pretty much every carved-top Les Paul guitar - re-issues excepted - built between circa 1982 and 2013 was weight-relieved apart from those examples from 2008 which were chambered. The 2013 Traditional was the first USA-line LP to be solid-bodied for 30 years. Arguably w-r makes absolutely no difference to end-tone. P.
