RobertAndersson Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hi there, I might have missed something, but what happened to the regular LP Custom? Last posting in the Gibson catalogue is for model year 2013: http://www2.gibson.c...aul-Custom.aspx For 2015, they only have special re-issues. Is the "normal" LPC to be considered discontinued? //Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon S. Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This hasn't been discontinued. It is still available for order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertAndersson Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 So retailers still have them. I'm surprised that the normal Black Beauty isn't shown on the Gibson web page, it should be a strong part of the brand, not only as re-issue. //Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hello Robert! I could find it on the product pages, filtering on "Les Paul": http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-Custom/Les-Paul-Custom.aspx It's not written there that it's "out of production". Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to select 2013 or all years to see the picture. If you filter on year 2015, you will not see it. You could get the impression that they only offer the 2013 model. Perhaps the normal Custom is considered to stand outside the year model system. //Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm surprised that the normal Black Beauty isn't shown on the Gibson web page, it should be a strong part of the brand, not only as re-issue... The ebony Custom in Bence's post ISN'T a Re-Issue, Robert. Yes; it's made in the CS but it's just a regular recent-spec'd modern-day ebony Custom. This means that it has a maple top-cap; a Richlite 'board; a Nashville bridge; regular LPC p'ups etc...etc... The BBR-I's, OTOH, have a solid mahogany body/carved top; ebony 'board; ABR-1; Historic-style p'ups - so either with the Alnico 'Staple neck p'up / P90 bridge in the R4 and either '57's or BB's (or something very similar) in the BBR9 & BBR0. The '68 R-I has a maple cap but, otherwise, is similar to the BBR0. AFAIK... Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM2112 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Amen to that! You got a few Customs already, time for another one? //Robert While that thing looks so darn sweet, I would have to play it first. I really don't want guitars that sound the same, and the 4 LP's I currently have are different since they have different pick ups. Currently, I'm trying to resist G.A.S. in regards to a triple pick up SG Custom... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
