Didn't know they released a 2016 classic. Interesting. The 2014's are far from crappy btw. They were an exceptional year and model for fit finish and playability. As far as the cosmetics of the 12th fret banner and the mini toggle.....subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoross Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 yes the classics are a limited edition but im wondering which one to buy the traditional or classic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 yes the classics are a limited edition but im wondering which one to buy the traditional or classic? Really.. Where did you see that? Id like to look at what spec they are offering.... But really theres two main factors between the Classic and Trad, which is the neck size and the pickups.... Classics have slim taper necks (usually) and super hot pickups, Trads have fatter rounded profile necks and more traditional pickups... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoross Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 currently its only available in europe as a limited edition but im hesitating between the trad and classic cause i had the traditional 2015 which i really loved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I heard the 2015 line up was the best ever and one day they'll be very valuable and collectible because not many sold and they only made them for 1 year. I'd go with that if I were you, then one day you'll be rich when you sell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoross Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 well the 2015 is really great and ive decided to purchase a 2016 classic for a change lets hope it rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody78 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The only place I've seen a 2016 LP Classic is Richtone here in the UK. IMO the Classics shown here have the wrong knobs, as they should be bell/ tophat ones, not speed knobs. Also, zebra pickups?... they should be all black on Classics, but other than that they look great! They're under the banner of 'proprietary' runs. Some other cool ones like the Les Paul Special (though a bit overpriced IMO) and the Firebirds with Lyre. Oh, there's an SG '61 RI too. Great stuff from the look of them all. Here's the Classic; http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/products/gibson_usa_2016_ltd_ed_lp_classic_plain_top_hb.asp Les Paul Special (Japan)... These look amazing! http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/products/gibson_usa_2016_ltd_ed_japan_les_paul_special_tv_y.asp Cool Firebird (but not keen on the tuners) http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/products/gibson_usa_2016_ltd_firebird_lyre_tail_vibrola_vs.asp More LP Classics/ Specials and SG '61 RI's (scroll down page); http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/gibson-usa-2016.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah I agree, its not a classic Classic :) But then they have been messing with them for the last few years now... I wonder if they just took up the issue that a lot of people don't like the usual ceramic twins that on the older Classics (which is actually one of the things I do like on my one).. Still.. as you say, a nice guitar regardless... a lot of people want plain tops and that's a nice example of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 ...is it a good guitar better then the crappy 2014 or 2015?...

Mr. C.O. Jones Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hi, Hoross. You say had, refering to your 15. Did you sell it? If so, why? And maybe you shold take a look at 7ender, PRS, Rickenbacker, Gretsch or another brand. Because I suspect that the 16 models will be as crapy as the 15's and 14's. Let those crapy Gibson's for us players that appreciate their wonderful crapyness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoross Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 u guys u dont understand what i ment. I used to have a Gibby lp classic 2014 and i sold it cause i thought the guitar didnt fit for me and changed it for a lp traditional 2014 and later even bought an lp traditional 2015 which are both great. But i was curious if the new lp classic 2016 dont have that db boost which i really hated,otherwise i get myself the lp standard 2015 or the new lp traditional 2016 .I will go check tomorrow at the guitar store.
