2017 Les Paul

[Metallica1]

Sam Ash in Clearwater, Fl has 2 - 2017 Les Pauls. They said more will arrive every week.

We need details....

Both were 2017 LP Classic. One was Cherry Sunburst and other was Gold. I was able to demo. He said check back next week to see what other models/finish are on the way.

And.. Was it a T or HP.. Did it have auto tuners? Titanium adjustable nut? Or were they more old school?

 

(good to hear they are bringing the Classic back this year )

[Metallica1]

T. Did not have auto tuners. Not sure on the nut. I will try to go back and take a picture and post.

[Rabs]

Cool.. See if you can get some specs.....

Looks like a Classic LP should

[Rabs]

Hmm... Grover locking tuners... I like [thumbup]

[cody78]

Nice! Except for the speed knobs

[Searcy]

So it's sort of like a 59/60 reissue... but this time in a tasteful burst.

Did you really expect anything else?

 

To me that is a Classic and how a Classic should be... (even though the locking tuners are new for that model)

Saw one just like the one posted here at my local Sam Ash (and a Gold Top version as well). Very nice! Missing poker chip is a bit strange, but easily fixed.

I'm glad the Classic range has made a resurgence.

 

The '15 Classic had that silly boost switch instead of a good, traditional control layout.

The '16 Classic was a good-looking plaintop, at a good price (at least in GBP), but was a limited model in finishes and production number, when it should have been in the front lines of the range available.

 

2017; nailed it. That green one
